Ant and Dec have revealed who they were convinced would win this year's I'm A Celebrity - and there was one finalist that both of them failed to predict.
The duo appeared on Instagram Live along with winner Jill Scott and the rest of this year's I'm A Celeb contestants after Jill was crowned Queen of the Jungle in Sunday's show. And as the campmates caught up with one another, Ant and Dec finally revealed who they had secretly predicted would be crowned winner back at the start of the series, having written their guesses down on envelopes which remained sealed until after the finale.
"I think it's pretty safe to say neither of us had that top three," Dec teased, flashing a cheeky smile - and as the presenters revealed who they had initially been convinced would be in the final, it became clear exactly which finalist he was referring to. Ant opened up his envelope, revealing that he had predicted Babatúndé Aléshé to be crowned King of the Jungle, with Jill in second place and Owen in third.

Meanwhile, Dec's envelope answers showed that he correctly thought Jill would win the series, while he guessed that Mike Tindall would come in second and Owen third. Tellingly, neither predicted that former Health Secretary Matt Hancock would make it into the final three after his involvement in the show sparked a backlash from viewers.
Elsewhere in the behind-the-scenes video, Sunderland champion Jill couldn't resist getting in one last dig at the Geordie duo over the playful rivalry between their two home cities. As Ant and Dec congratulated Jill on her win, the football star teased: "Did you hate that it was a Mackem?"
"Well, you know. That grates slightly," Ant admitted jokingly.
England Lioness Jill was reunited with her fiancée Shelly after being crowned the winner, before arriving at the Gold Coast's Marriott hotel to a heartwarming welcome full of rousing cheers and hugs from her fellow campmates. Appearing on Good Morning Britain, Jill said that she would like to see "fellow Mackem" Jordan Henderson be the next football star to give the jungle a go.
Humble Jill was quick to praise her co-stars as she sat on her throne in the finale, telling Ant and Dec: "Look, these guys are absolutely incredible. We were one big team. I don't think there should be one winner. We couldn't have got through it without all of us, and I think we've all been winners."
