PREGNANT Cheryl has sent her congratulations to Scarlett Moffatt after she was voted Queen Of The Jungle.
The pop singer – who also hails from the North East– tweeted: “Awww bless her 🎉👑 congratulations @ScarlettMoffatt 🙌🏼”
She also praised Joel, who came in second place, adding: “Joel was great too. Amazing final 3! #ImACeleb ☺️”
Cheryl wasn’t the only celeb to say congrats – Phillip Schofield tweeted: “From the moment I read @ScarlettMoffatt was going into the #ImACeleb jungle, she was my winner, well done darlin' 😊”
While Alan Carr wrote: “Loving @ScarlettMoffatt and the montage on #ImACeleb - #legend”
Fans of the show were just as excited about the result and took to Twitter to praise the new queen of the jungle.
One person tweeted: “Actually cried a little when they announced Scarlett, so lovely to see it go to someone who wanted it so much 😿👸🏻 #ImACeleb”
While another wrote: “#ImACeleb delighted for scarlett never been a more deserving queen #ScarlettToWin.”
Speaking after her win, she said: "I feel dizzy. I can't believe it, oh my god. Never did I ever think this would happen. Oh my god."
Before receiving her flower crown from last year's winner Vicky Pattison, the 26-year-old television personality spoke to hosts Ant and Dec about her experience in the jungle.
She told them: "I might be the only person whoever says this - but I wish I could do it all again. It's just amazing. It's beyond any [expectations] that I thought. I've never felt so happy, which is weird because I hate camping. I'm not going to miss sleeping in a hammock but I'm going to miss waking up and hearing everyone chatting. It's just been amazing ...
"It's been a massive learning curve; I feel like I need to have more confidence in myself because I doubt myself constantly. Doing the trials and stuff, I feel like a much more confident person coming on here. I didn't expect it to have any life effects on me, I just thought it was going to be really fun."
During her time on the show, Scarlett got to take part in her favourite ever Bushtucker trial, Celebrity Cyclone, and admits it was something on her bucket list.
She shared: "It was on my bucket list after meeting you two [Ant and Dec]. Some people dream of winning a million pounds but mine was doing the Cyclone. It was so good. All my life, I was waiting for this and I couldn't get out the trench. And all of them were spinning around like, 'C'mon Scarlett! You can do it!'"
Meanwhile, second placed Joel faced one of his biggest fears early on in the show when he had to walk out on a plank on top of a skyscraper.
Speaking about that particular trial, he said: "The first one was definitely the hardest. I took two steps in and it was the closest I came to, in the whole show, to saying I need to stop this. But then that helped with the rest of the experience."
Referring to his general experience in the jungle, he added: "I knew it was going to be a good experience. I didn't think the highs would be so high and the lows would be so low. It was incredible. I'm going to miss the simplicity of it. It's so simple in there."
