Joey Essex wins the Jump


Joey Essex has won ‘The Jump’.

The 24-year-old reality star beat off competition from rugby player Mike Tindall – who is married to Queen Elizabeth’s granddaughter Zara Phillips – and heptathlete Louise Hazel to take the crown after edging the final jump by just half a metre, leaping an impressive 17.5m.

He said afterwards: "I just went for it! When it comes, I put my mind to it and I just do it, man!"

And Joey admitted he was stunned to win as he never expected to "survive" in the competition.

He said: "I thought it was going to a nightmare, I didn’t think it was going to survive – growing up I found it hard to learn things, but being on the jump has proved I can."

While he was thrilled with his victory, the former ‘TOWIE’ star was baffled by his cow bell trophy

He said: "I never thought I’d be able to ski, let alone get to the final, and never thought I’d own a medal, let alone a cow bell.

"What is a cow bell by the way? Does it mean I need to get a cow?"

Earlier in the evening, Jon-Allen Butterworth and Chloe Madeley were both eliminated from the competition after the air jump.

Louise Thompson then lost out with a jump of 15m after Joey leapt 15.5m in his first-ever jump on the show.
