‘She just threw it on!’

I’m A Celebrity viewers accuse Vicky Pattison of abruptly ‘plonking’ crown on new queen Scarlett Moffatt

I’m A Celebrity viewers have accused Vicky Pattison of being rather ungracious as she handed over her crown to new jungle winner Scarlett Moffatt.

Vicky – who won the show last year – was on hand to pass the crown to Scarlett after it was announced she had won I'm a Celebrity.

But those watching at home couldn’t help but notice how Vicky passed on the crown – with some suggesting she had thrown it.

One person remarked: “#ImACeleb so glad Scarlett won! But Vicky could of been a little bit more graceful in handing the crown over!! She just plonked it on! 👸🏼”

Another asked: “Was I the only person to think that Vicky wasn't happy 2 hand over the crown to scarlett? 😳👑 #ImACeleb”

“Can't believe how abrupt Vicky was with the crowning of Scarlett #ImACeleb 😳😳” wrote someone else.

And someone else tweeted: “Does anyone know why Vicky P just threw the crown on Scarlett's head and ran away? #ImACeleb.”

Earlier this evening the Gogglebox star was handed the Queen of the Jungle title, beating comedian Joel Dommett to the crown.

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, 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."
