Gino D’Acampo was crowned King of the Jungle 2009 in the I’m A Celebrity final last night.
The HOT Italian chef beat runner-up Kim Woodburn to take the title while snooker ace Jimmy White came in third place.

Before he had the chance to kiss his wife he was met by with his ‘little princes’ his two young sons Luciano and Rocco.
The 34-year-old was brought to tears as he hugged his two children before sitting them both on his knee.
Earlier Gino had told how he would love to make their dreams come true by winning.

Asked what winning would mean to him, Gino told Ant and Dec: ‘The one thing it would mean for me is that my two little boys believe that [if I become king] they will automatically become princes. I would love to make their dream come true.’
Shortly afterwards, he was announced as the winner as the rest of this year’s celebrities assembled in base camp.

Kim reacted by shouting: ‘Well done, well done, well done,’ as Gino hollered, ‘Now my boys are princes.’
In his interview, Gino said he had enjoyed ‘every single day in camp’ but said he missed having intimate time with his wife Jessie.
He said he decided to take part in the jungle so he could spend some time out from his hectic life.
Gino said: ‘I’m the kind of guy who can’t stay still. I wanted to go in and be away from my phone and laptop and relax a little. But of course I came here and did over 600 meals.’


The chef said he didn’t expect things to be so tough. ‘I thought if you said you were starving then maybe you’d get a baguette or a sandwich. But it really is beans and rice.

Gino, is fed up with celeb chefs like F Word star Ramsay who shout and criticise.
He wants a primetime show in which he encourages people to cook by being helpful.

A pal said: “People view the kitchen as somewhere you go to be beaten up and criticised. Gino wants to change all that.”

Gino, who appears on This Morning and Ready Steady Cook, is expected to start talks with ITV
