The British radio presenter and reality TV star came out on top as King of the Jungle, with boxer Tony Bellew finishing runner up, and former Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage in third.
"I am so grateful, thank you so much, I’ve dreamt of doing this show for years and years and you made this boy’s dream come true", Thompson said, reacting to his win.
On his time on the show, Thompson added, "The little moments were the best moments, when Snake Rock camp came back and we had everyone back together, the vibe was so amazing and I don’t think I’ve ever been so happy".
After being crowned King of the Jungle, Thompson leapt into the arms of Tony Bellew, who described Sam as his "fifth son".
"I definitely think I was put here to be around Sam", the former World Champion boxer said.
Sam Thompson was crowned by campmate and This Morning presenter, Josie Gibson, who was voted out on Saturday. He was later greeted by his friend, and podcast co-host Pete Wicks, as he left the jungle, donning his crown.
