Kim is jungle runner-up

Kim is jungle runner-up

04/12/2009 23:04

Kim Woodburn said she was delighted as she was named runner-up in I'm A Celebrity... 2010 - and seemed even more delighted to be able to finally hug show host Declan Donnelly.

The Queen of Clean just missed out on being Queen of the Jungle - but she didn't seem to mind too much, especially after her consolation cuddle with Dec.

As the pair embraced, Dec, who had been subjected to Kim's famous flirting technique during their meetings at her Bushtucker Trials, said "I've been waiting for this", while his co-host Ant McPartlin said: We'll I'm feeling like a gooseberry."

Kim told the pair: "I'm glad to be runner-up. I thought I'd go out third, fourth or fifth, but to be the runner-up - I cannot believe this. I'm chuffed to the mintballs as they say in Liverpool."

Kim unsurprisingly took on the housekeeper role in camp, doing campmates washing and keeping things tidy.

But she said the experience had seemed daunting at first: "I walked in and it looked such a tiny camp compared to on the telly and I thought 'Oh I can't do this'.

"Obviously you do miss creature comforts... you are taken away from them and then suddenly you are dropped into a hell hole.

"I think we've all done very well. There was the occasional spat, but on the whole I think it was pretty good in that jungle."

Kim took on her fair share of trials, and came back with a good tally of stars.

She was immersed in a tank of water accompanied by various creatures, and also had to go head-to-head with Katie Price and eat vile jungle delicacies including kangaroo testicles, grubs and cockroaches.

She faced the Jungle Arms trial with Joe Bugner, where the pair had to drink cocktails of crocodile eyes, kangaroo anus and pulped mealworms.

Kim will also be remebered for her constant flirting, preening, snoring and the odd moment when she let off steam.

She called Katie a "publicity seeker", and said afterwards she had no regrets about her comments. She also clashed with Justin, Sabrina and Joe, although they all made up in the end.
