It’s official: we love Harry Redknapp – and after the ‘I’m A Celebrity’ final, we’re certainly not alone.

The football manager was crowned King Of The Jungle during Sunday night’s final, beating fellow campmates Emily Atack and John Barrowman.

While he already had an army of fans thanks to his football career, he also won over a whole new legion of supporters during his time in camp, and as Harry celebrates his win, here’s a closer look at how he managed to romp to victory.

1. He brought an oft-overlooked British pudding back into the public consciousness
