Although many I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here fans had mixed reactions to Holly Willoughby's presenting skills alongside Dec Donnelly during the first few days, it seems she's certainly won over the public now.

As Holly has stepped into Ant McPartlin's shoes whilst he continues to recover from his addictions, it's now being predicted that the This Morning host could put an end to Ant and Dec's impressive 17-year reign at the National Television Awards.

The popular Geordie duo have won the 'best presenter' award at the NTAs since 2002, but this year it could come to an end.

According to new reports, odds for Holly to lift the prestigious award have been slashed, due to her stint on I'm A Celebrity and her presenting duties on the likes of Celebrity Juice, Dancing On Ice and This Morning,

It comes after I'm A Celebrity viewers expressed their views about Holly and Dec's chemistry during the launch show earlier this month.

Some viewers loved Holly on the show, one user wrote, 'I actually love holly on I’m a celeb', with another adding, 'Already loving Holly!' [sic} Another added, 'I’m a celeb is back ... honestly wouldn’t be watching it if anyone else but holly willoughby was presenting i love her'. [sic]

However, a number of viewers weren't sold on Holly, with many expressing how much they miss Ant. One user wrote, 'Nothing I miss more than Ant on I’m a celeb rn 😭sorry I love holly but it’s just not the same. #ImACeleb. [sic]

Although she was unable to face a cupboard of spiders and what appeared to be a Komodo dragon, Anne won a whopping seven stars for the camp, and they were rewarded with Silkie chicken for their evening meal.
