Carl Fogarty has won ‘I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!’.
The four-time World Superbike champion was named the 2014 King of the Jungle after beating Jake Quickenden in the final of the ITV reality show, with Melanie Sykes in third position.
Reflecting on his victory, Carl – the 49-year-old racer, who is affectionately known a ‘Foggy’ – said: "I just think it’s all a dream. I think someone’s playing a joke on me!"
Foggy thanked the public for making him the King of the Jungle, and admitted he’s still getting used to his new title.
He said: "It sounds unbelievable. It feels like a dream. Thanks to everyone for voting.
"This is the best thing of my life, I can’t put into words how happy I am that the public have put me here.
"It’s great to be on the podium one last time."
Former ‘X Factor’ star Jake, 26, was magnanimous in defeat, saying Carl deserved the crown.
He said: "[Foggy] was absolutely Crocodile Dundee.
"He deserves it. He’s a legend and I couldn’t have lost to a better guy."
Earlier in the show, Melanie admitted she enjoyed her time in the jungle.
The 44-year-old beauty shared: "It was better than I expected, I thought it would be hellish. I had fun and I made some nice friends and I did have a laugh. It has exceeded all expectations."
