But in the days leading up to his victory, eagle-eyed viewers think they have worked out why he was always secured a victory sparking rumours of a 'fix'.

Ahead of their final days in camp, ITV viewers appeared to grow increasingly suspicious after pointing out how the singer appeared to be handed more airtime over his co-stars.

Whilst there were still four stars in the camp, Danny found himself given a secret mission which resulted in him being the focus of the day's events.

As he attempted to hide a number of figurine jungle rangers around the camp, viewers watched him run around the jungle as opposed to his fellow campers.

Fans now think his amount of airtime was as a result of him being a runaway winner thanks to the amount of votes he was accruing.

Writing online, one fan stated: "The reason he is getting the screen time is because he’s topping the vote and can’t be caught."

Another went on to add: "Yes. The last couple of eps have made it clear he's way ahead IMO."

It led a third to pen: "He has to be the most obvious winner for many years tbh."

Just a day after the final, ITV revealed the voting percentages for the show's final which suggested that Danny was a runaway winner.

The 38-year-old, won with 55.21 per cent of the vote, while runner-up Coleen Rooney scored 44.79 per cent.
