Willoughby started by saying "you were incredible, well done" before her, Schofield and Klass enjoyed a celebratory shot of water.
Willoughby and Schofield asked how different it was this time round, watching it in person with the show not being broadcast live.
Klass said: "It's still really weird to watch it because you lived it."
Speaking about the "brutal" final challenge Klass described how she broke her braces after getting a bit of mice tail stuck behind one.
She said: "Ant and Dec kept asking me what it tasted like. A mouse died behind a radiator when I was at school and the smell that came from that, it tasted a bit like that."
She added the fermented tofu tasted like what she imagined "bin juice" would taste like.

Willoughby and Schofield asked how she got through those kinds of challenges.
Klass said: "I do think a lot of it is mind over matter.
"If you let your mind go somewhere else, you've lost already."
Since leaving South Africa Klass said she has kept in touch with a lot of her campmates.
She has a WhatsApp group with Janice Dickinson and gets postcards from Paul Burrell.
Describing one of the hardest parts about appearing on I'm A Celebrity...South Africa was being away from her family for so long.
Klass said: "You don't realise how isolating it is.
"You have complete radio silence. You don't know whether your kids have got their PE kit in the mornings, or if they are really ok."
But she said it was her daughter's idea to join the show.
She finished the interview on This Morning by addressing the rumours about her becoming an MP.
Klass said they had come about because she was trying to change a bill at the moment surrounding support for women dealing with miscarriages.

Klass won the challenge and was crowned the first ever I'm a Celebrity legend.
