Lilly Becker was crowned Jungle Queen 2025

Her ex-husband once triumphed in Wimbledon, and now she has triumphed in the wilderness: Model Lilly Becker (48) has won the RTL jungle camp. The Dutchwoman secured the so-called jungle crown late Sunday evening, which the winners of "I'm a Celebrity - Get Me Out of Here!" are allowed to wear.

18th IBES Season Concluded

As the jungle queen, Becker secured a prize of 100,000 euros and could hardly believe her luck. After the presenter duo Sonja Zietlow and Jan Köppen presented her with the viewers' vote, she cried tears of joy and covered her face with her hands. Then she called out her son's name, sank to the jungle floor, and uttered a kind of prayer of thanks towards the sky while kneeling. After her coronation, she was surprised by her son Amadeus. The two embraced and eventually sat side by side on the jungle throne.

Becker Won for Son Amadeus Too

In the jungle, Sharlely "Lilly" Becker showed herself to be very resilient, ambitious, but also sensitive. She fought to be seen as an independent personality. In the finale, she said she hoped to simply leave the show as Lilly Becker - and "not the 'wife of'", who couldn't achieve anything, as she put it. The model was once married to tennis legend Boris Becker.

"I'm showing myself here completely without makeup, without anything," Lilly Becker assured in the finale. "Nothing is fake here, everything is real." She never hid her ambitions. It was about winning for her - also for her son, Becker said. He should have a role model "for life." She tells him: "Whatever happens - don't give up."

Pierre Sanoussi-Bliss and Alessia Herren in 2nd and 3rd Place

The second place went to actor Pierre Sanoussi-Bliss ("Der Alte", 62), and the third place was secured by reality star Alessia Herren (23). She landed in the same position as her father more than 20 years ago. "Lindenstraße" actor Willi Herren (1975-2021) also became third in the jungle in 2004. After that, she was sure: "If my father could witness this, he would be so proud of me."

New Negative Record: Jungle Camp of Missed Stars

The 18th season of the reality format will be remembered as the camp of missed stars. According to RTL.de, the celebrities only scored 35.11 percent of all possible points in their trials - a negative record. Several trials were abandoned. Consequently, the meals were often sparse. "It was the most diverse, but unfortunately also the most unsuccessful camp of all time," summarized presenter Sonja Zietlow.

Lilly Becker now follows in the footsteps of such illustrious jungle majesties as Costa Cordalis, Brigitte Nielsen, and Ingrid van Bergen. Last year, singer Lucy Diakovska from the pop band No Angels won the crown.

The Jungle Camp 2025 "I'm a Celebrity - Get Me Out of Here" was broadcast daily on RTL and RTL+.
