It was a race between Yvie Jones, Richard Reid and Shane Crawford on the finale of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! on Sunday night.
And after Shane Crawford exited in third place and Yvie in second, it was Richard Reid who took the crown of king of the jungle and $100,00 for his nominated charity, Beyond Blue.
After drawn-out finale, Yvie and Richard scooted off to meet hosts Julia Morris and Chris Brown to get a final verdict.
