TV chef Gino D'Acampo has been crowned King of the Jungle after winning the final of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

The Italian chef beat television presenter Kim Woodburn and snooker star Jimmy White to second and third places after three weeks in the Australian jungle.

During the course of the reality TV show D'Acampo was forced to eat rotten eggs, cockroaches, a crocodile's tongue and rhino beetles to win a dinner for his fellow contestants.

the chef told presenters Ant and Dec he was excited to be getting back into "some kind of civilisation very soon".

"These three weeks have been crazy, up and down. I don't think there's ever been a day when I've thought, 'what am I doing here, I should be at home doing something else' - I really enjoyed every bit of the experience," the chef said.

D'Acampo is the third celebrity chef to have appeared in I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! after Antony Worrall Thompson (2003) and John Burton-Race (2008) whose wife famously shut his New Angel restaurant in Dartmouth while he was on the show.

It's been a tough couple of months for Gordon Ramsay. First he was accused of a seven-year extra marital affair, then he was forced to admit that his business nearly collapsed into administration, and to top it all off he had to apologise to the people of Australia after insulting one of their best loved TV personalities.

But it seems things have got worse than we may have realised for poor old Gordon as news has emerged of his attempt to kiss and make up with arch enemy Antony Worrall Thompson.

For years Ramsay has been ridiculing Wozza; nicknaming him a "squashed Bee Gee" and banning him to the kitchen sink to do the washing up at his dream dinner party. "He can't cook to save his life," he's been quoted.

Oh but the tables have turned.

In an interview with Waitrose Food Illustrated Wozza speaks of how his former bully made his peace offering at the Birmingham Good Food Show, where both chefs were holding cookery demonstrations.

"He came into the room and said, 'Antony I just want to wish you luck'," Wozza recalls.

"I was shocked. I said, 'Hang on Gordon, why the change of heart?' He said, 'Well, when you are down you realise you are picking on people and you realise you shouldn't have done what you did'.

"It was bizarre. It was like saying 'I'm being kicked in the teeth, therefore I'd better not kick anyone else in the teeth'."

Heart-warming stuff, isn't it?!

Well, don't get too excited. Wozza clearly still bears a lot of resentment over the years of abuse he had to put up with.

"Gordon knows Michelin food but I have a feeling he hasn't got any depth," he snipes. "I don't think he reads cookbooks like they were novels like I tend to do. He's a one-trick pony."

Oh Wozza, can't you find it in your heart to forgive and forget?

All seems not well in celebrity chef land and our favourite Saturday morning host Antony Worrall Thompson could be in for an embarrassing legal battle from two disgruntled former employees.

The week started out so well for Wozza, who on Monday celebrated the reopening of his pub the Greyhound in Peppard, Oxfordshire, along with fellow Ready Steady Cook regular Ainsley Harriott.

So what went wrong?

According to The Independent, former employee Richard de Wet, who helped set up the Windsor Grill, claimed Wozzer owes him and his wife £5,000 of holiday pay after being made redundant. The restaurant was one of the casualties of AWT Restaurants' collapse into administration.

Wozza apparently reassured the couple hours before they were due to board a flight to Thailand that they were going to get all of their payments. But he never kept his promise.

"This isn't about bad-mouthing Antony," de Wet said.

"I had a good time with him and I learned a lot. However, I think what he is doing is totally wrong. He said he treated the business like a big family. I think he was taking the piss."

All that over £5,000? Come on Wozza, you can do better than that.
