There’s been an awful lot of uncertainty over whether Ant McPartlin will be joining his on-screen partner in crime Dec Donnelly for this year’s I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! following his stint in rehab this summer.

For a while there was talk of Holly Willoughby and Ant & Dec's former SM co-host Cat Deeley stepping in as Ant’s replacement.

But then, back in August show bosses hinted Ant would indeed be making his big return.

When asked whether ITV would consider taking a break from I'm a Celeb this year, Kevin Lygo responded: "How very dare you.

"Ant is doing really well and we're expecting him to return to I'm a Celebrity, so we won't be resting it."

However, when filming of a promotional video for the show was recently postponed while Ant continued his recovery in LA, more rumours began to spread that Caroline Flack would be flying in to stand in for the host.

Now, former Queen of the Jungle and Extra Camp presenter Scarlett Moffatt has seemingly confirmed Ant will be back Down Under later this year.

"I was texting Dec yesterday about it,” she told the Daily Star at the Pride of Britain awards.

"The intention is [that Ant will be there]."

EEEEK. WE CAN’T WAIT.

Scarlett also spoke out about her recent break-up, telling heatworld the real reason her relationship with Luke Crodden.

“We're still friends, it's not like anything has happened,” she explained.

"But we realised that we just like each other as friends. We friend-zoned each other.

"I have no idea how it actually happened."
