Myleene Klass wins I'm A Celebrity South Africa and is crowned first ever Legend

Myleen Klass has been named as the I'm A Celebrity South Africa winner, making her the first ever I'm A Celeb Legend. The singer and TV star is the first star to win the brand new title, after competing in both the main show in 2006 and the new spin-off series.

Myleene took on challenges against the other celebs to earn her win since the show was pre-recorded with no public vote in this series. Everything was decided by the campmates, who had to compete for survival.

On Friday night, the final four were whittled down, as Myleene, Jordan Banjo, Phil Tufnell and Fatima Whitbread waited to find out who was going home. Cricketer Phil was first to go, leaving Jordan, Myleene and Fatima taking on one more challenge to determine the top two.

They took on a trial which relied on them being able to count to six minutes, while being covered in critters. They had to sit in a contraption that had their feet in boxes, their hands in hell holes and their heads in helmets.

The three celebrities were told they needed to hit their buzzer when they thought six minutes had passed, and the two celebrities closest to six minutes would go through to the final. Fatima missed out and finished in third place - meaning Jordan and Myleene would go head to head.

The final "supercharged" challenge saw Myleene and Jordan - neither of whom won their original series, with Myleene finishing runner-up and Jordan ending up ninth - have to correctly guess how much of each item they could consume in a particular period of time.

Ultimately, it was Myleene who proved successful and she beat Jordan in the final trial wto be crowned the first ever I'm A Celebrity Legend.
