Sam Thompson announced as winner of I’m a Celeb 2023
After Sam Thompson was crowned King of the Jungle on Sunday night’s final of I’m A Celebrity, ITV has revealed the voting percentages for the final three contestants.
The channel has confirmed that the race was tight between Sam, 31, and his new pal Tony Bellew in regards to the public vote. Champ Sam managed to get 56.6 percent of the votes, just over the total number of votes, however, Tony, 41, wasn’t far behind.
The boxer got 43.3 percent, which is just under half, as fans were clearly rooting for this year’s infamous bromance. Sam created a bigger margin between him and Tony when it came to determining third place, as he got a massive 43.3 percent of the votes, with Tony at 30.8 percent.
However, Nigel Farage was lagging behind with 25.7% of the third-place vote, meaning the politician took home the bronze prize and left his two other campmates to battle it out for the win.
Viewers of the show were left elated that Sam had been crowned the King of the Jungle and took to their X accounts, formerly known as Twitter, to praise the Made in Chelsea star.

Speaking to Ant and Dec about his time on the show and how he feels about being crowned King, Sam exclaimed: “Mate, it is like a dream that I don’t want you to wake me up from.
“I never thought I would be asked to do this, it is the most surreal thing I have ever done in my whole life.
“Even the moments when you are feeling low, all I am thinking of is ‘Why am I feeling low in the jungle’. There are so many amazing people I never thought I would spend this time with.”
“When you first walked into camp I sort of blacked out a little bit! The jungle did so much more, I have never been shocked so much in my life,” he expressed.
