Firm friends: Former Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts was a gracious runner-up to Charlie

Charlie was a popular, likeable contestant on the show - a complete contrast to her troubled EastEnders character Janine Butcher.

Speaking to hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly after winning, she said: '(It feels) silly. I never imagined this for a million years.

'Everyone's been amazing. David was our king down there. Eric with the fire. Everyone down there played their role.'

Former Pussycat Doll Ashley was a gracious runner-up, admitting she was stunned she had got so far in the competition.

She said: 'I have gotten beyond what I ever expected. I'm so proud of myself.'

Ahead of finding out she had won, Charlie watched a VT of her highlights and admitted she hoped she had done Helen Flanagan a favour when she confronted her over the poor performance in the Bushtucker Trials in the beginning of the series.

She explained: 'Everybody babied Helen and it did her a favour when everyone toughened up. I didn't want her to walk away without accomplishing any of her fears... and I was hungry.'

'That (raw fish) eyeball and the popping of the eyeball. It smelled. I am never doing anything like that again in my entire life.'

Charlie was clearly distressed throughout the trial: 'I feel absolutely traumatised. It was horrendous. There was no other way of describing it.'
