Behind-the-scenes of I'm A Celeb final - Jill's winning gift, 'snub' and Owen's surprise

Contestants on I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here gave fans a sneak peek into the behind-the-scenes filming of the finale, as they all headed back to the Gold Coast's Marriott hotel last night. Lioness Jill Scott was crowned Queen of the Jungle, followed by Hollyoaks star Owen Warner, both beating Tory MP Matt Hancock who fell in third place.

Eagled-eyed fans spotted the awkward moment Mike Tindall snubbed Matt on social media and watched Owen's sweet surprise from his brothers. While loved-up Mike was reunited with Zara Phillips and Matt rushed to his girlfriend Gina Coladangelo for a 'deja vu' moment, winner Jill was back with her fiancée Shelly Unitt - and her beloved flat white.

Jill Scott 's love for hot drinks will come as no surprise to ITV viewers after she invented 'hot banana water' in camp.

The retired lioness is a huge coffee drinker and opened up to campmates about putting her coffee shop Boxx2Box on the map - which she opened with her partner Shelly in lockdown.

Jill says she often has a bad day if she doesn't start the morning with a flat white, and it was her beverage of choice after being crowned the Queen of the Jungle.

Once the cameras had stopped rolling, Jill was captured on Mike's Instagram story clutching a flat white in one hand and the trophy in the other.

After Matt Hancock made it to the final of I'm A Celeb, it seems lots of fans and many of the contestants weren't very impressed.

Mike Tindall took to Instagram to record a behind-the-scenes clip of the celebrities - but quickly diverted the camera after it landed on the Tory MP.

During the video, Mike chatted to Jill and Coronation Street's Sue Cleaver, then as it panned to Hancock, 44, the former rugby star said: "Yeah erm..." before walking away with an awkward laugh.

Chris Moyles also made a cryptic comment about the surprise campmate when he exited the show, alluding to "weird times" in the jungle.

He said: "Thanks everybody for watching, thanks everybody for voting and... yeah. Weird times, amazing times, but I'm very excited to get back to the radio show soon."

Brothers in disguise

After coming runner up on the show, Hollyoaks star Owen Warner reunited with his parents in Australia.

But he was shocked when he finally spotted his brothers, Jake and Louie, had also flown across the world to celebrate.

Posting on Owen's Instagram story moments before, the siblings revealed that had arrived in Australia and dressed up as rangers in a bid to surprise him.

"We're gonna sneak out and have a photo with him in disguise, and see if he recognises us," they said. "He has no idea we're in Australia. It's gonna be mad."

They captured the moment on camera, where Owen can be seen looking confused, then appears over-the-moon as they remove their face scarves.

The three brothers hug each other for several minutes and jump in the air with joy.

Unglamorous exit

Rugby star Mike gave fans a whistle-stop tour of what awaits them when they leave camp on an Instagram live stream on Sunday.

The 44-year-old said: "For everyone who thinks it's glamorous in I'm A Celebrity, basically, this is behind the scenes. Lots of red c**p, lots of buses, erm, there's not really anything going on."

He then took his 355,000 followers to meet the crew who work tirelessly behind the cameras to ensure the show's safety and success.

Speaking to Scarlette Douglas about the tents, Mike continued: "If you think it gets any more glamorous in the tents, let's have a look shall we? This is what it looks like. Yes, it's trestle tables and just seats. So it is just that.

"And then if you want to think that maybe the celebs hang out in a better place - I hate using the word celebs by the way - same."
