In news we are quite honestly thrilled to report::a[Ant and Dec]{href='https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/ant-dec-everything-need-know-presenting-duo/' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer'} are 100% *confirmed *to host 2017's I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! The cheeky twosome have been spotted at the airport as they head to Australia to get ready for the ITV show to commence. The start date, which was released last week, has been revealed as the 19th November (so, get it in your diary, ASAP).

You'll never guess how much Ant and Dec earn in ONE DAY

At the airport earlier today, Ant and Dec even found time to stop for photos with fans, ahead of the show's launch. Look how happy they look!

The social media post read: “Ant and Dec with fans at the airport earlier today, they’re heading off to Australia for #ImACeleb.”

Ant McPartlin even looks GLOWY. We are glad he's feeling better.

Earlier this year, 41-year-old Ant had checked into rehab for substance abuse after undergoing an operation on his right knee, Ant became hooked on painkillers, while fertility issues put strain on his marriage to his wife Lisa.

Ant, then heartbreakingly claims, he became depressed and turned to substance abuse as a way to cope.

There was speculation that Ant wasn't well enough to present I'm a Celeb with co-star Dec and there were even talks of Holly Willoughby perhaps standing in. However, Dec was adamant hewould NOT do the show unless Ant was there by his side.

We can't WAIT for the show to return, eeek.
