I'm A Celebrity star Danny Jones reveals how he fell 'terribly ill' after ignoring doctor's advice upon jungle exit
McFly frontman Danny Jones has been enjoying life after the jungle but he has now shared an update with fans after he 'went mad' with his diet and ended up feeling 'really ill'
Danny Jones has revealed that felt extremely unwell after ignoring medical advice from the I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here team after being crowned King of the Jungle.
The McFly lead singer won the latest series of the show last Sunday, beating out TV personality Coleen Rooney, who came in second place, and Reverend Richard Coles, who took third.
Danny's victory in Australia is his third major win of the year, having previously triumphed on The Masked Singer and seen his protege Ava, coached alongside McFly bandmate Tom Fletcher, win ITV's The Voice in October.

The 38-year-old described this period as a "crazy year", admitting he had planned a six-month hiatus to move house before his tour next year but couldn't pass up the chance to be on I'm A Celeb. His wife Georgia managed the relocation while he was competing in Australia.
Following his triumph, Danny took to social media for the first time since his win to express his gratitude, reports The Mirror. Posting a photo with his I'm A Celeb 2024 campmates on Instagram, Danny wrote: "A message from Danny... This was one of the hardest and most amazing things I have ever done in my life. I would have never been able to have the incredible experience I've had, without these people. The campmates made it for me."
"A huge congratulations to my fellow finalists Col and Revvo," he expressed, before hinting at his imminent return: "I'll be back on my phone and socials very soon Love you all."
The celeb circuit was quick to offer up their kudos with Oti Mabuse chiming in: "Jungle Family." Maura Higgins excitedly proclaimed: "We love you," while Danny's camp buddy Melvin Odoom joined in with: "Camp Famalam!".
Post-jungle life is just as full for Danny, as he recently shared that he flouted medical advice about his diet after the show. Kicking off with a sun-soaked snapshot, he captioned it: "Very happy king! Still can't believe that you guys all voted for me. Feels surreal. It's a proper top of the world feeling. Can't wait to see you all in the UK soon."
His series of videos gave fans more insights, with him confessing: "Thought you'd might like to know something... When I came out of the jungle, I had two breakfasts. I went a bit mad. I had a banana bread sandwich with fruit, cream and maple syrup, it was amazing, and I also ordered a croissant with eggs, halloumi, avocado - epic! I had a right nice cuppa tea with that, then I had a vanilla milkshake."
"Here's where I slipped up the doc had warned me, 'Go slow and small' and did I listen? Not one bit. Paid for it later that night I was terribly ill, up all night. The next morning I took it easy with some fruit. And today? Feeling much better.."
He continued spilling details about his current eating habits and his seemingly insatiable desire for sweets and cups of tea. Danny also shared: "All in all, I think I'm through the other side. My stomach has shrunk massively but I feel like I'm eating better. Last night I had a bit of pasta, I didn't eat it all, I shared it with my mum.
"I can't eat a full bowl of pasta yet. I'm quite enjoying that to be honest with you because I used to eat too much anyway but it's just the milkshakes and the crisps and the chocolate. It's just going down so well. So I'll let you know how today goes."
