Gino D'Acampo has been crowned King of the Jungle in the final of I'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out Of Here!
The cheeky Italian chef was named the winner after the gruelling three-week competition.
Gino summed up his win in one word - "Fantastico!" - before saying he was desperate to see his two sons, who would now be "Princes of the Jungle".
He told Ant and Dec: "This is amazing - I don't know what to say. Being out feels great. I know that I'm going to see some kind of civilisation soon and I want to see the boys."
Gino had an eventful stay in the jungle from the very start, acting as camp cook, comic and comforter.
He fulfilled a boyhood dream of waking up next to Sam Fox when they were sent to an island together for the first Bushtucker Trial.

He was impressed by the "breast count" in camp generally and said it should be renamed "Kn****r Camp".
He continually proved himself to be a team player in the Bushtucker Trials, negotiating a high wire balancing act with Stuart Manning, staying up all night with Sabrina Washington, braving a revolting jungle trolley dash with Justin Ryan and conquering Hell Hill with Justin and Jimmy White.
He said of his experience: "These three weeks have been crazy - up and down all the time, but I don't think there's ever been one day when I've thought 'what am I doing here?'.
"I've really enjoyed every single experience. Being the King of The Jungle is definitely the cherry on the cake."
Asked by Ant and Dec why he came into the jungle, he said: "I wanted to see if I could come here and relax a little bit, but obviously I've come in here and I've cooked over 600 meals!
"When I watch this show at home I think, 'nah this must be a trick, they go there then they have a trailer in the back and relax'. But we're having to do everything... it's unbelievable. You come here... you suffer!"
A close-to-tears Gino was then reunited with his sons as he was crowned King of the Jungle by last year's winner Joe Swash.
