In a nail-biting finish, Sam Thaiday emerged victorious from the South African jungle, claiming the title of King of the Jungle on “I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!” Thaiday’s win secured $100,000 for his chosen charity, Find Ya Feet, an organization focused on empowering future generations.
The final days saw Thaiday, along with fellow finalists Reggie Bird and Matty J, reflecting on their jungle experience—the meager meals, the daunting trials, and the unexpected camaraderie. Emotional reunions with family members added a touch of heartwarming sentimentality before the final challenge, the Hot Tub Slime Machine. This involved the finalists and their loved ones enduring a hot tub filled with an assortment of unpleasantries, including rotten eggs, kale, elephant dung, and the ever-present rice and beans, while answering questions to earn stars for their last jungle supper.
Thaiday’s charity, Find Ya Feet, provides a platform for individuals to share their stories and develop emotional coping mechanisms. Thaiday spoke movingly about the organization’s founder, Tommy Herschell, and the importance of such mentorship, particularly for young boys. He shared a personal story about losing a close friend to suicide, emphasizing the potential impact of programs like Find Ya Feet.
