During Monday night’s episode of I’m A Celebrity… Extra Camp, presenter Joel Dommett revealed some shocking information about previous winners.
The 32-year-old told viewers: “Here’s a little interesting fact for you – the person who has been in for the first trial in the last two years, has won the whole show.”
His co-host, Scarlett Moffatt interjected happily: “That was me! Oh I was just counting the years there.”
For the past three years, women under thirty have taken home the crown; Geordie Shore’s Vicky Pattison, followed by Scarlett. Then, last year, Made In Chelsea’s Georgia ‘Toff’ Toffolo won the show.
Guest Andi Peters praised the 28-year-old TV star, saying: “Based on that performance alone, she could get into the final. I mean, she was so brave and so courageous. And she went in with the mentality that she was going to do it… she’s amazing, I thought she was absolutely amazing.”

One wrote: “How @EmAtack got through that snake trial was unbelievable! I hated watching that! If that first snake had bit me I would have been out of there! 😂#imacelebrity2018.”
