I'm A Celeb fans have spotted a clip of a former winner where they appear completely transformed from their days in the jungle ahead of this year's final.

Actor and TV personality Christopher Biggins was crowned King of the Jungle in 2007, beating out model runner-up Janice Dickinson to the top spot. He appeared in the show's seventh series alongside the likes of Gemma Atkinson, Rodney Marsh and Katie Hopkins.

But Biggins put on a very different display in a video posted to Instagram earlier this year, which has recently resurfaced. In it, he can be seen wearing an all-silver ensemble complete with a rather unusual-looking wig to promote his latest panto project, Sleeping Beauty.

The clip was made all the more hilarious as Biggins, 75, could be heard using modern-day slang. "When the Gen Z marketer writes the script," text overlaying the video read.

"Brat Summer may be over, besties, but panto season is just beginning," he said. "No cap," meaning 'no lie' in layman's terms. "This costume gives me life."

Pointing to a co-star, he said: "Green flag," before telling another: "Pop off Queen," and declaring the male and female leads "endgame," meaning their relationship will stand the test of time.

"This chapel is giving me life," he said, showing off the set behind him. Then, Biggins gave fans a behind-the-scenes of the process of getting his makeup done. "It's quite simple, I... I'm very cutesy and very demure," in reference to a video that went viral on social media earlier this year.

He concluded: "So if you're looking for a goated [great] day out, bring all your girly pops [friends] to see Sleeping Beauty in Woking. Slay."

The production of Sleeping Beauty launches tonight at the New Victoria Theatre in Woking and will run until January 5, 2025. Tickets start at £13 and can be purchased here.

In the show, Biggins plays the 'spirit of dreams' and is joined by Faye Tozer and Richard Cadell playing Carabosse and Muddles respectively.

Biggins remained safe throughout his time in the jungle and went on to take home the crown. Runner-up Dickinson also avoided the bottom two throughout her tenure on the show.

He participated in a number of Bushtucker trials, including Jungle Jeopardy, Web Sight, Celebrity Cyclone and Bushtucker Bonanza.

The final of this year's competition will take place on Sunday (December 8). Alan Halsall, Coleen Rooney, Danny Jones, GK Barry, Oti Mabuse and Reverend Richard Coles are all still participating in the show, all hoping to bag the top spot.

Meanwhile Maura Higgins and Barry McGuigan became the latest campmates to be eliminated from the series last night (December 5), several weeks into the show.
