This year’s instalment of I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here has finally come to an end.
The final episode of the hit ITV reality show’s 22nd season aired on 27 November on ITV and streaming on ITVX.
After Mike Tindall was voted out the jungle in the penultimate episode, just three contestants remained: ex-England footballer Jill Scott, actor Owen Warner and disgraced Tory MP Matt Hancock.
Hancock’s involvement had been one of the main talking points of the series, after the controversy-struck former health secretary was announced as a surprise contestant shortly before the series aired.
However, it was Scott who emerged as the bookies’ favourite to be named Queen of the Jungle, with the former athlete standing at 2/9 to win the whole series.
After two years in which the production was relocated to Gwrych Castle, Wales, as a result of the Covid pandemic, I’m a Celebrity migrated back to its usual Australian location for the 2022 series.
As usual, the programme was hosted by Ant and Dec.
Saturday’s (26 November) episode saw the popular Celebrity Cyclone round return, with Hancock, Tindall, Scott and Warner all donning superhero costumes to brave the watery obstacles.
The episode also saw Hancock accused of a surreptitious tactic to try and encourage more votes, which didn’t escape the notice of Tindall.
