“Sleeping was horrendous,” he admitted
"Everyone in there was great. That’s what made it for me,” he added.
When arriving at the camp he feared he would have nothing in common with fellow campers but sang their praises as he joked: “They’ve pulled me up hills, they’ve dragged me through the waters.”
During the series, Harry struggled with eating and sleeping after it was reported he’d lost his sense of smell.
Watching from home, son Jamie Redknapp jumped for joy as his dad was announced the winner.
Jamie posted a cute reaction on Instagram, captioning the post: "I never thought I'd say this but I'm so proud to have my dad as the king of the jungle. We love you! Now come home please, we all miss you!!"
