The six competition winners of 'I'm A Backpacker... Get Me In Here!' have flown to the Gold Coast to compete for the title 'King or Queen of the Jungle.'

The six UK backpackers, Dave Brett, Andy Gosling, Chantelle Keady, Marie McDonnell, Sadie Rose and Nikki Smith, flew from Heathrow Airport to Australia on Saturday night courtesy of Qantas and were keen to compete for the crown.

Dave Brett, 22, from Chingford, said: "I hope I win, I really do, but even if I don't win I'm having the trip of a lifetime. I'm so happy to be going."

Andy Gosling, 26, from Windsor, said it was the Australian activities that he was most looking forward to: "The thing I'm most looking forward to is activities. We're going quad biking, we're climbing up a sky-scraper the day we arrive. I really thrive on adventure, and for that reason I'm going to win."

Chantelle Keady, 22, from Kingston, was a little more honest: "I think I'm going to win because there's nothing that I wouldn't do." No doubt she'll be put to the test.
