Ant was all smiles in a trusty Newcastle United FC T-shirt and comfy black joggers as he checked in his luggage.

He had wasted no time in heading back to the UK, having gone to the airport with one of his stepdaughters just hours after Sunday night's I'm A Celebrity finale finished.

The stars of the show, including winner Sam Thompson, instead later headed to a fancy wrap party with crew members to celebrate.

Some of the stars had even started early, with Josie Gibson grabbing a glass of champagne while still on set in the morning.

But although Ant - who is teetotal - decided to give it a miss, it actually turned out to be quite a tame night.

The bash was thrown at the luxury JW Marriott hotel in Surfers Paradise with champagne and nibbles.

Yet everyone was tucked up in bed by 11pm - and King Of The Jungle Sam didn't even last that long.

He bailed at 10pm after sharing an emotional moment with Marvin Humes and his wife Rochelle.

Sam was seen saying: “I just wanted to say goodnight, I am off to bed," before hugging camp pal Tony Bellew too.

Tony and his wife Racheal were the last revellers standing but hit the hay by 10:40pm.

Danielle Harold reappeared close at 10:45pm, as she nipped down to reception to collect a takeaway. Then it was lights out for everyone.

A source said: “You’d think after three weeks in the jungle they’d all be up for a party but no one really seemed up for the craiq."

Ant and his co-star Declan Donnelly have been in Australia for the last month, having jetted out before this year's I'm A Celebrity properly kicked off.

When not on air, the pair hung out together and Ant was even spotted taking Dec's daughter for ice cream.

He stepped in to help out with the childcare duties as Dec and his wife Ali headed for a pizza with friends.
