During the show's Coming Out show, viewers saw the campmates being reunited with their loved ones and facing the real world after being in the Aussie jungle for three weeks.
But fans were also able to see who show hosts Ant and Dec had 'predicted' would win the show at the beginning of the series.
It has long been a tradition for the hosts to pick their potential winner after the first episode has aired and place the chosen ones name inside a sealed envelope.
The pair appeared giddy as they finally got the chance to unseal their envelopes on the Coming Out show which revealed they had both 'chosen' correctly that Sam Thompson would be crowned King of the Jungle.

Behind the scenes, the crew could be heard cheering that both of the presenting pair had 'successfully' predicted the winner.
However, the scene was far from the truth with the pair exposing who they really chose during an Instagram Live video on the 10th December.
In the social media clip, they unsealed another envelope each which had their top three clearly marked.
Both Ant and Dec had in fact selected Josie Gibson as their winner and were quick to shout her over to show her.

It could also be seen that Dec did not choose Sam in his top three with Danielle Harold in second place and Marvin Humes taking third.
Elsewhere, Ant did in fact place Sam as second to Josie but also had Marvin as third place.
The move has sparked a fakery row around the show with questions being asked around the unusual move.
One fan was left confused over the scripted scene as they said: "I don't get it. Why did they just say Ant and Dec predicted Sam would win, but here they put Josie? Wtf."
It is likely to spark question over the programme's authenticity with sceptical viewers having accused the show of scripted moments in the past.
Sam Thompson was crowned King of the Jungle with boxer Tony Bellew falling into second place.
The duo knocked out Nigel Farage into third place during the nail-biting finale.
Ant and Dec's real winner, Josie, left the programme one day before the final in fourth place.
