The announcement comes just a day after presenters Holly Willoughby and Dec Donnelly vamped up the excitement levels by sharing the first official shot of them together.

Taking to Instagram, Dec wrote: "Ant’s looking well don’t you think!? I’m joking of course, Holly and I are looking forward to welcoming you to Australia next Sunday night. D 🇦🇺 🌴🐍🌴🕷🌴🐜".

Holly, who was announced as the stand-in presenter when Ant McPartlin revealed he was taking a year off, has expressed her excitement for the show, adding: "And so it begins... @imacelebrity 🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷".

Ahead of the launch show, Dec has opened up about the heartbreaking reason he chose Holly to co-host the show alongside him.

He said: "As always I’m incredibly excited to be heading to Aus for I’m A Celebrity.

"It is obviously tinged with sadness that Ant won’t be coming this year, I’m going to really miss him, but it’s only for one series and he’ll be back stronger next year. I didn’t want to host this series with another guy so Holly was top of my list."
