When it comes to early starts, Holly Willoughby has it hard on This Morning.

But it's about to get a whole lot worse when she joins Declan Donnelly down under to present I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!

According to The Sun, the 37-year-old is going to need to reshuffle her body clock pretty significantly to do the job - and that includes setting her alarm for 1.30am.

Holly, who is taking her kids Harry, nine, Belle, seven, and Chester, four, to Australia with her, will then need to be on-set at 2.30am for the show going live at 7am.

When the show does wrap up, the star and her co-presenter will need to film all the extras for the spin-off show I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here Now!, as well as pre-recording bushtucker trials.

We've seen Katie Price in the jungle twice and now her estranged husband, Kieran Hayler, is said to be negotiating a big money fee to appear on the show."Kieran's had a real bashing these last few months from Katie - doing I'm A Celebrity would be his chance to shine away from her. He's been in contact with the show's bosses and has been bragging to his mates about being in this series," a source told The Sun."Kieran wants a big money deal and has told his mates he won't be doing it for a pittance. Now he's getting buff again too he's been saying it's because he wants to look his best in the jungle," the source continued.

She played Will McKenzie's love interest in the Inbetweeners from 2008 to 2010 but it looks like we might see Emily Atack back on our screens as it's been reported that she's taking part in I'm A Celeb this year.According to TV sources, the actress is hoping that by going into the jungle it'll give her "some stability in the UK" as the ITV show has "lots of coverage".The insider went on to tell The Sun: "I'm A Celeb approached Emily a while ago and she jumped at the chance."She knows being on the show will massively up her profile and hopes it will be a major turning point for her career."Bosses are thrilled she is on board because she's absolutely stunning."

Shayne Ward

Shayne Ward hit back at fat-shamers over his "dad bod" earlier this year but we'd love to see him under the jungle shower. Following his heartbreaking exit from Coronation Street, ITV bosses are apparently desperate to sign Shayne. An insider told The Sun: "Shayne has built up a huge and loyal fan base at Corrie and his exit storyline has been talked about up and down the country."But behind the scenes he's also considered one of the nicest men in soap with a quirky sense of humour that would work well in the jungle camp."

The fashion favourite will then get a few hours to see her kids, before getting her beauty sleep with a bedtime of 6pm.

A show insider told the paper, "Everyone thinks Holly has got the easiest job but in reality it’s actually a really full on gig.

"As with any TV shows, especially live ones, there are lots of meetings, rehearsals and script reading. Holly and Dec will watch back what happened overnight so they know exactly what is going on in the camp and with the celebrities."

And as if the horrendous working hours weren't bad enough, Holly gets a grand total of 0 days off for the duration of the show.

Holly is taking over from Ant McPartlin while he takes a break from work, following this year's controversy surrounding the breakdown of his marriage to Lisa Armstrong, drink driving arrest and prescription drug addiction.

As awful as Holly's hours sound, we bet the pay cheque makes up for it!
