Sally said: "Lots of big television events at the moment. We've got the Strictly final coming up, World Cup final in a couple of weeks but last night was."

Jon added: "The other final."

Sally laughed before adding: "Yes."

Jon continued: "I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! the final. If you didn't watch it, or if you're saving it on catch up, you won't avoid it but we're going to tell you now who was crowned."

A clip of the moment Jill discovered she'd been crowned the winner of the ITV show followed.

Sally added: "Former England Lioness Jill Scott roared her way to victory with actor Owen Warner as runner-up. The former Health Secretary Matt Hancock finished in third place. Well done Jill!"

Jon said: "She's got used to winning this year hasn't she? After the Lionesses in the Euros in the summer.

"She's going to need a bigger mantlepiece.

A giggling Sally agreed: "She is with all those awards."

Jon asked: "What do you win if you win the jungle?"

Sally replied: "A flower crown. What more could you possible want?"

Jon swiped: "It's not quite a Euros trophy is it?"

Jill was gobsmacked when Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly shared the news that she won the show.
