Holly Willoughby has been confirmed as new host on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!
Holly will be stepping in for Ant Ant McPartlin following his extended absence from television. We personally couldn’t think of a better person to step up to the task of presenting the show with Dec.
Upon the news being announced, 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?!”
Dec also seems pleased with the news and is looking forward to watching Holly squirm in the face of the trials. He said: “I am hugely grateful to Holly for agreeing to accompany me to Australia this year. 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!”
I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! 2018 will kick off Sunday 18th November.
