Did Shaun Ryder win I'm A Celeb?

Shaun Ryder did not win I'm A Celeb in 2010 and finished second behind TV personality and X-Factor star Stacey Solomon.

Shaun's time in the jungle was defined by his rivalry with Scottish TV personality and nutritionist Gillian McKeith.

He controversially told Ant and Dec: "If Gillian was my wife, she would be in pieces in a plastic bag, deep in a hole in the back garden."
