Holly Willoughby is heading down under! ITV has confirmed the This Morning presenter will co-host the upcoming series of I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here with Dec, as Ant McPartlin takes a break from TV presenting.
Speaking about the news, Holly said: 'I couldn’t be more excited to have been asked to stand alongside Dec for the next jungle adventure. I love Ant and want to send him my best wishes and support for a continued recovery. These are big shoes, not to fill, but just to keep warm for a little bit... Honestly, I’m a huge fan of ‘I’m a Celebrity’ and actually feel like I’ve won a competition to go and hang out on my favourite show! When is it a good time to tell Dec I’m scared of everything that moves?!'
'I am hugely grateful to Holly for agreeing to accompany me to Australia this year,' Dec added, 'She was at the top of my list and I’m thrilled she said yes. It will be a different kind of series but we will try our best to ensure it is no less fun and eventful for our loyal viewers. I am also pleased to hear Holly is scared of everything. I am almost stupidly excited at the thought of watching her during the eating trials!'
