SAM Thompson was duly crowned king of the jungle last night as the fans' favourite won the I'm A Celebrity 2023 crown.
The amiable 31-year-old took the title after seeing off runner-up Tony Bellew and third-placed Nigel Farage.
And industry insiders believe Sam's triumph will be just the start for him, with ITV bosses and their rivals already lining him up for new projects.
A source said: "After lots of reality show appearances, Sam can now choose his next TV moves.
"Whatever happens, the show has been a huge boost for him, winning him fans and in the future some TV deals and promotional gigs. It's win-win."
Sam, who first made his name as a star of Made in Chelsea, will have no shortage of potential projects.
One option would be doing a road trip or other style of travel show with best pal Pete Wicks, as the pair already do a successful podcast together.
