The grand finale of I'm a Celebrity airs on Sunday night at 9pm, when viewers will finally find out who has been crowned King or Queen of the Jungle. This year has seen a popular group of stars rough it in the Australian jungle, from Caitlyn Jenner, who was reportedly paid half a million pounds to join the show, to soap actress Jacqueline Jossa and daytime TV favourite Kate Garraway. While we wait to see who triumphs this December, let's take a look back at all of the past winners, starting with 2018's King...

2018: Football manager Harry Redknapp

Harry delighted viewers with his cheerful attitude and his love of jam roly polys in the jungle, and the 72-year-old was delighted when he won the show with John Barrowman and Emily Atack as runner-ups. He said: "I'm amazed I survived three weeks." Speaking about his fellow campmates, he added: "They've pulled me up hills, they've dragged me through the water."

2009: TV chef Gino D'Acampo

Despite controversy involving cooking up a rat, Gino won in 2009. He said to Ant and Dec: "It feels great, I know that I'm going to get into some kind of civilisation very soon. These three weeks have been crazy, up and down. I don't think there's ever been a day when I've thought, 'What am I doing here, I should be at home doing something else' – I really enjoyed every bit of the experience."

Joe loved the jungle so much (hardly surprising, since he won), that he returned to Oz to present Extra Camp. He only left ahead of the 2019 series to spend more time with his family, and to star on Dancing on Ice.

2004: comedian Joe Pasquale

Joe won the 2004 season thanks to his ability to make viewers at home chuckle along with the camp mates. However, we have to give an honourable mention to Paul Burrell, who provided up with priceless television when he fell apart while having to put his hand into a hole of bugs and critters to find a star.

Kerry was overwhelmed when she won the show back in 2004. Chatting to Ant and Dec about her fellow campmates, she said: "They were fantastic, I love them all to bits! [...] I didn't think I'd win, I didn't think I'd come this far!"

2003: critcketer Phil Tufnell

While Phil was delighted at winning at the time, he later revealed that it wasn't as fabulous as you might have thought. Speaking to What's on TV, he said: "There was that press and media attention [that came with winning I’m A Celebrity… and it’s not as easy as people seem to think. Everyone seems to think fame is all great, and everything’s all fine, and you’re going to openings and parties, but it’s not quite as simple as that. It was overwhelming."
