The former 'EastEnders' actress triumphed over the 'Coronation Street' actor to be named Queen of the Jungle on Sunday night (08.12.19) in the battle of the soap stars, and it has now been revealed Jac - a one-time 16/1 outsider to win - tasted victory by a slim margin as more than 11 million voted in the finale.
According to Mirror Online, the official voting figures showed there was just a 1.2 per cent gap between her and Andy as she earned 50.61 per cent of the vote, and he attracted 49.39 per cent.
Roman Kemp finished third on the show with 29.15 per cent of the vote, during which time Jacqueline - who played Lauren Branning on the BBC One soap - was just over three per cent in front of Andy as she had 36.97 per cent and the Kirk Sutherland actor had 33.89 per cent.
It comes after bookmaker Ladbrokes claimed Jacqueline's shock 'I'm A Celebrity' victory was the worst result in reality TV history for the bookies.
Alex Apati, of Ladbrokes, said: "Jacqueline has caused a huge upset as far as the odds are concerned and thousands have cashed in on her after we put all our eggs in the Andy Whyment basket.
"Corrie's Kirk looked nailed on to win the show from pretty much the moment he entered and his odds were probably too short to back, meaning punters went looking for better value elsewhere in the betting."
Andy was as short as 2/7 to be crowned King of the Jungle just hours before Sunday's final, with Jac the 4/1 second favourite, followed by 10/1 shot Roman Kemp.
