The 45-year-old TV star - who first appeared on 'I'm A Celebrity' in 2006 - has been crowned as the winner of the all-star series, after she came through a series of brutal trials.

Following her success, Myleene - who has Hero, 12, and Ava, 15, with her ex-husband Graham Quinn, as well as Apollo, three, with Simon Motson - said: "I had a ball the first time. This time round, I’m a mum and that changes everything.

"You don’t want to let your children down, you don’t want to say something that will embarrass them. You don’t want to bottle out of a trial."

Myleene also revealed that her kids were desperate to see her on 'I'm A Celebrity'.

She shared: "We sat down and had a big conversation about it as a family.

"Both of [my daughters] were just begging me to do it. I said to them I’ll be as strong as I can be, I wanted to show them, and other little girls, keep walking through the fire.

"In the 16 years since I last did the jungle, I’ve really been tested and had to really hold [my] nerve."

Myleene overcame the challenge of Jordan Banjo to claim the 'I'm A Celebrity' crown, after they competed in a final eating trial.

Jordan, 30, subsequently admitted to being proud of himself, despite losing out to Myleene.

He said: "Well, the first time I was in the jungle, I came ninth. I’ve just learnt that.

"I’ve been telling everyone for the last six years I came seventh. I was a bit shocked, I didn’t realise I did that badly first time.

"So coming up ninth to second is a huge achievement. Very very happy, very proud of myself but as you saw, Myleene in that final … no one else was coming first."
