Kerry is queen of the jungle

Kerry McFadden was tonight crowned Queen of the Jungle after winning the ITV show I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here!

The 23-year-old former Atomic Kitten star burst into tears and hugged her fellow celebrities after clinching the public vote ahead of Jennie Bond.

Peter Andre had earlier become the first of the three finalists to be booted off the hit show, which has gripped millions.

Kerry, who had been favourite to win the final, repeated ``oh my God'' over and over, after the show's hosts Ant and Dec announced she had polled the majority of the three million votes cast.

More people had voted in this year’s final than during the finals of the previous two series, which were won by Tony Blackburn and Phil Tufnell, they said.

As she left the jungle camp, she said she never thought she would win the show “in a million years”.

She said: “I am absolutely numb. I cannot feel my legs. It feels really surreal.”

Kerry was crowned Queen of the Jungle by former I’m A Celebrity contestant Tara Palmer-Tomkinson.
