Speaking to Ant & Dec after his win, Poynter said: "I'm lost for words. It's been the best couple of weeks of my life, I wish everyone in the world could experience that."
Poynter was reunited with his McFly bandmate Tom Fletcher while posing for photographers in the I'm a Celebrity studio.
Fatima Whitbread and Antony Cotton finished third and fourth respectively in yesterday's episode.
Poynter is the eighth male winner since I'm a Celebrity began in 2002. He inherits his crown from last year's Queen Of The Jungle Stacey Solomon.
Poynter also received 59.1% of the vote to win I'm a Celebrity in Digital Spy's exclusive poll.
Yeah but i think Mark being in TOWIE hasn't help his chances because alot of people don't like it and will judge him on that I reckon. I did really like Mark though I didn't mind either to win.

Did I not say he was going to walk it? Talk about being proved right :) If Harry wins Strictly as well this is really going to put McFly back on the map after 'Above The Noise' bombed as hard as it did, their tour's already selling out as a result of Dougie winning last night. Let's just hope they've got a brilliant new album and the resurrection will be complete!
