Phillips is I'm A Celebrity winner

Actor Lou Diamond Phillips has won the American version of 'I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!'.

The 47-year-old contested the final with wrestler Torrie Wilson and former basketball star John Salley.

After being crowned King of the Jungle, the 'Young Guns' star said: "This experience is head and shoulders and far to the left of anything I've ever done. No movie set ever compared to this - this is the real deal and it's been an amazing trip."
