Danny Miller, AKA Emmerdale's Aaron Dingle has been crowned King of the Castle in this year's I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!

The 30 year old was whittled down to the final three on the ITV show over the weekend, going up against Simon Gregson (Steve McDonald from Corrie) and pop star Frankie Bridge  in the public vote.

In last night's final, the celebrities took on their final challenges which involved being trapped with creepy crawlies (Danny) another grotesque eating challenge (Simon) and lying in a dungeon with snakes (Frankie). Ant and Dec announced that Frankie had been placed third, so then it was down to Danny and Simon, with the Emmerdale star ultimately taking the crown.

For the second year in a row I'm a Celebrity was filmed at Gwrych Castle near Abergele in North Wales, with the jungle of Australia ruled out due to Covid restrictions.
