The 31-year-old actress beat former Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts to the top spot in the final public vote after heavyweight boxer David Haye was eliminated from the contest on Friday.

Brooks spent 22 days in the jungle seeing off 11 fellow celebrities in a field that included Nadine Dorries MP, Coronation Street's Helen Flanagan and Doctor Who's Colin Baker.

Speaking to presenters Ant and Dec immediately after receiving the news of her victory and being reunited with her young daughter Kiki, Brooks said “I never imagined this for a million years.”

She added: "Everyone's been amazing. David was our king down there. Eric with the fire. Everyone down there played their role."

Runner-up, Roberts, whose former band mate Nicole Scherzinger is now an X Factor judge said: “I have gotten beyond what I ever expected. I'm so proud of myself.”

Brooks inherits the I'm a Celeb crown from McFly drummer Dougie Poynter who beat TOWIE star Mark Wright to take the title this time last year.
