Gogglebox star Scarlett Moffatt won the show on 4 December 2016,[4] with stand up comedian Joel Dommett finishing runner up and Emmerdale star Adam Thomas finishing third.[5] This was the first time in the show's history that two women have won consecutive series.
Carol Vorderman and Jordan Banjo would return to the series seven years later to participate in I'm a Celebrity... South Africa alongside other former contestants to try to become the first I'm a Celebrity legend. Both of them reached the top six. Voderman was eliminated alongside series 4 contestant Paul Burrell, with the pair finishing joint sixth and fifth overall. Banjo would finish as runner-up to series 6 contestant Myleene Klass.
Celebrities
The celebrity cast line-up for the sixteenth series was confirmed on 7 November 2016.[6][7]
^Note 1: The public were voting for who they wanted to nominate camp president, not for who they wanted to save.
^Note 2: Danny and Martin did not enter the jungle until Day 5 and therefore could not be nominated camp president.
^Note 3: Larry was exempt from this vote as he had already been nominated camp president by the public.
^Note 4: As part of the Claim of Thrones bushtucker trials the winners of this would gain immunity from the first elimination. Adam, Ola, Sam and Wayne became immune by the end of the trials.

^Note 6: The public voted for who they wanted to win, rather than save.
Bushtucker trials
The contestants take part in daily trials to earn food.[9] These trials aim to test both physical and mental abilities. The winner is usually determined by the number of stars collected during the trial, with each star representing a meal earned by the winning contestant for their camp mates. From 2014, the public voted for who took part in the trials via the I'm a Celebrity... app, from iOS and Android devices.[10]
The public voted for who they wanted to face the trial
The contestants decided who would face the trial
The trial was compulsory and neither the public nor celebrities decided who took part
1 The celebrities were divided into two teams; "City Celebs" (Adam, Carol, Joel, Jordan and Ola) and "Jungle Celebs" (Larry, Lisa, Sam, Scarlett and Wayne). The City Celebs picked a Jungle Celeb to help them avoid the bushtucker trial. Carol picked Lisa, Ola picked Sam, Jordan picked Scarlett, Adam picked Larry, and Joel picked Wayne. Each celebrity competed in a task, where the person whose partner lost had to face the first bushtucker trial.
2 Larry and Scarlett were excluded from the trial on medical grounds.
3 Larry, Martin and Scarlett were excluded from the trial on medical grounds.
4 As winners of the first Claim of Thrones trial, Adam, Martin, Sam and Wayne became the first four "Royals", who moved to live in Snake Rock, whereas the remaining celebrities became "Subjects" and continued to live in Croc Creek.
5 The public voted from the four "Royals" (Adam, Martin, Sam and Wayne) to face two "Subjects" who the remaining campmates chose. They chose Joel and Ola.
6 The public voted from the four "Royals" (Adam, Ola, Sam and Wayne) to face two more "Subjects" who the remaining campmates chose. They chose Lisa and Scarlett. As a result of Adam and Wayne being chosen, Ola and Sam became immune from the first elimination.
Member(s) from camp will take part in the challenge to win 'Dingo Dollars'.[11] If they win them then they can then take the dollars to the 'Outback Shack', where they can exchange them for camp luxuries with Kiosk Keith.[11] Two options are given and the celebrities can choose which they would like to win. However, to win their luxury, a question is asked to the celebrities still in camp via the telephone box.[11] It is often joked that Ant & Dec make up these questions and their answers. If the question is answered correctly, the celebrities can take the items back to camp. If wrong, they receive nothing and Kiosk Keith will close the shack.[11]

Notes
1 As the reigning royals, Adam, Ola, Sam and Wayne were the only participants in this Dingo Dollar Challenge. After receiving their Dingo Dollars, they didn't have to answer a question as their prize was automatically awarded to them. They did however have the decision to share their prize with the "Subjects"; they accepted this offer.
