Rugby league legend Sam Thaiday has been crowned King of the Jungle!

After an emotional finale, where the final three contestants were reunited with their families, Australia voted and decided that Sam deserved to win the title in 2025.
He won $100,000 for his chosen charity, Find Ya Feet, an Australian organisation who offer “a platform for individuals to share their story, equip them with the skills to be able to own their stuff, and provide tools that enable them to shift that ‘get on with it’ culture.”

The charity aim to empower Australia’s future generations through community, school, and corporate workshops.
Following his victory, TV WEEK spoke with Sam about his journey on the show, and what the win means to him.
“Oh, it was absolutely incredible. The best part about it was that I got to go and challenge myself,” he said.
“I got to go through something that was very, very hard, and challenging, but I really enjoyed this experience.”

He went on to admit that the hardest part of his I’m A Celebrity experience was also one of the best.
“One thing that was the hardest and one thing that I thought was the best was the food challenge with Harrison. It was the hardest because it was a real mental game. I tried to put on a brave face to say that it wasn’t disgusting, but yeah, it definitely was.
“When your brain tells you that that’s not food, you still have to try and swallow it, but it was also the best because I was able to get through it, and then again, just my mental strength and toughness shone through, and I’m glad that it still exists inside of my brain.”
