Danny Jones will not receive a cash prize for winning I'm A Celeb 2024, despite being crowned the King of the Jungle.
Jones won the hearts of the nation in order to go on to become this year's King, as he opened up about his battle with anxiety and smashed near every task given to him.
He won in the final after beating out Reverend Richard Coles and Wagatha Christie herself, Coleen Rooney.
The McFly singer was emotional after winning, breaking down into tears and saying: "It feels amazing, I can't even talk."

He thanked fans who voted for him, saying: "Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I gave my all in there, it's a lovely feeling to be liked. Thank you so much, I appreciate this so much."
Danny also said before his win was announced: "This is totally insane. I've learned so much about myself, and that's because the camp mates were unbelievable.
"They made it so easy for us to get through the hard times. I've had some of the hardest times I've ever had, some of the highest highs, and just tried to have fun along the way. It was way harder, harder than what it comes across on TV, but it's real in there.
"You're hungry, you're tired, you're lethargic.”

Despite the ordeals he went through to win, Jones will not be receiving any extra money for winning.
Unlike shows like Love Island the incentive to win is really just... to win.
All contestants receive a flat fee that is agreed upon before they go in, and then get that as long as they stay in for 72 hours.
The 72 hours is just to ensure that celebs don't take the money then run off before viewers get their pound of flesh.
Even if they withdraw, if they make it that long they get paid.

So, whether you spent a month down under or three days, your pay will be the same.
How much some of the campmates are reported to have earned:
Melvin Odoom - £60,000 to £90,000.
Barry McGuigan - £70,000 to £100,000.
