Winner: I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! – ITV
Well… The British public has spoken… ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!‘ takes the top spot this year, although it was a very close run thing, with only 0.5% separating the top three shows. Both ‘Taskmaster’ and ‘The Great British Bake Off’ held the top spot at various points in the voting, but a last-minute surge pushed the marsupial phallus-eating d-list celeb-fest in the lead.
This season featured Mike Tindall, Seann Walsh, Chris Moyles, Babatúndé Aléshé, Boy George, Sue Cleaver, Scarlette Douglas, Charlene White, Olivia Attwood, Jill Scott, Owen Warner and, infamously, Matt Hancock.
Hancock, an active serving MP who should have been in parliament at the time, somehow ended up in third place, with ‘Hollyoaks’ actor Owen Warner coming second. Former England footballer Jill Scott took home the crown.
