NOW the bush-whackin trials of "I'm a Celebrity, Get me out of here" are over, and a King of the Jungle chosen, may I now contribute an epilogue.
I know I had a pop at the 'Pommy whingers', but now I want to congratulate Phil Tufnell on winning. Perhaps his Jack-the-lad personality and laid-back attitude to life persuaded people to vote for him.
In my book his lean, rawbone appearance would make him a certainty for the part Chips Rafferty played in the Australian film "The Overlanders".
I can see Phil on a horse, driving cattle and sitting around a camp fire.
But what of 'Fash'? A very different personality; very much the gentleman; dedicated leadership; get on with the job in hand qualities; and he was put through so many bush-tucker trials.
This type of person is often overlooked in ordinary life. So well done, 'Fash', you're a fair dinkum winner as far as I am concerned, and I would be pleased to go bush walkabout with you any time!
'Fash' was
the winner
