“ROBBED” OF THE CROWN… BUT GIVEN THE KEYS TO THE KINGDOM?! TOM READ WILSON’S SHOCKING ITV DEAL!

Tom Read Wilson may have missed out on being crowned King of the Jungle —
but just 72 hours after stepping out of camp, he has secured something even bigger:
a brand-new presenting role on ITV’s This Morning.

And according to insiders, ITV bosses didn’t just invite him…
they chased him.

 A New Star Is Born on Daytime TV

Viewers fell in love with Tom’s warmth, poetic charm and soothing voice during I’m A  Celebrity 2025, and now ITV has snapped him up faster than any finalist this season — even faster than new Jungle King AngryGinge.

On Thursday morning, Tom appeared on This Morning’s famous sofa, not as a guest… but in his debut as the show’s new “Agony Uncle”, answering viewers’ dilemmas in the emotional run-up to Christmas.

And he absolutely nailed it.

Ben Shephard told him:
“In camp, you were the person everyone went to. You were born for this.”

Tom blushed — then proved them right.

 Tom’s Advice Goes Viral

When a viewer asked whether he should confess a crush at the office Christmas party, Tom delivered a line that instantly trended on X:

“Sow the seeds before the wine does it for you.”

Cat and Ben burst out laughing — and then offered him the job on air.

“Would you come back?”
Tom didn’t hesitate.
“I would absolutely love to.”

Just like that… a new daytime star was made.

 From Late Arrival to Final Two: The Tom Effect

Tom entered the jungle as a late arrival, an unknown quantity among fan favourites — but within days, he became one of the most popular campmates of the entire season.

The finale received over 13 million votes, the highest in at least a decade, with many insisting Tom was the true winner.

 Fans Are Still Furious He Didn’t Win

Social media hasn’t calmed down since:

• “Tom should’ve won. Full stop.”

• “Ginge has TikTok fans — Tom had the nation.”

• “I’m not watching next year. Justice for Tom.”

  ITV job opportunities

But while the Jungle crown went elsewhere, the careers crown is clearly Tom’s.

 “I Shared More in That Jungle Than I Have in Years”

Speaking on ITV2’s Unpacked, Tom opened up about the intensity of camp life:

“If you add up the waking hours, I spent more time with these people than with my own loved ones this year.”

And in true Tom fashion, he described himself as:

“Disbosoming everything — I surprised even myself.”

 The Future Looks Golden for Tom Read Wilson

He may have walked out of the jungle without a crown,
but he walked straight into a primetime job, a national fanbase,
and a brand-new chapter on one of the UK’s biggest TV shows.

Sometimes you don’t need to win the game
to win the nation.
