After the news broke yesterday that popular TV presenter Ant McPartlin will NOT be hosting this year's I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here alongside Dec Donnelly, fans of the popular show have been left wondering who will replace him.
Ant, who was charged with drink driving earlier this year, released a statement admitting he's taking time to focus on his recovery. The statement released on his behalf read, "Ant McPartlin today announces he will continue to take a break from all television presenting roles until 2019."
Here's who could replace Ant McPartlin on I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!
Who will replace Ant McPartlin on I'm A Celebrity - stacked

Dec Donnelly
Despite it not being the same without Ant, Dec could host this year's I'm A Celebrity on his own, following the amazing job he done earlier this year on Britain's Got Talent.

Scarlett Moffatt
Former Gogglebox star Scarlett Moffatt is one of the favourites to replace Ant. After becoming good friends with the presenting duo, Scarlett would surely work well alongside Dec. She's also got a lot of I'm A Celebrity experience, not only did she win the show back in 2016, Scarlett landed herself a role as presenter on I'm a Celebrity: Extra Camp.

Stephen Mulhern
Stephen Mulhern is one of Ant and Dec's closest friends in the business and he's a regular face on ITV, so there is no denying he'd be great with Dec.

Caroline Flack
She's quickly becoming one of the UK's most-loved TV presenters due to her role on ITV2 show Love Island. Could Caroline Flack swap the Mallorca villa for a stint in the jungle presenting I'm A Celebrity?

Joel Dommett
After I'm A Celebrity viewers fell in love with his sense of humour when he appeared as a contestant on the show in 2016, Joel Dommett went and landed himself a presenting role on the spin-off show alongside Scarlett Moffatt. As his popularity rises, could he be promoted onto the main show?

Georgia 'Toff' Toffolo
2017 winner Georgia 'Toff' Toffolo has enjoyed a number of presenting gigs since last year. The Made In Chelsea star won over viewers last year with her hilarious personality, so she'd be a perfect fit alongside Dec.

Phillip Schofield
This Morning host Phillip Schofield is also one of the favourties to replace Ant for this year's series. He's no stranger to live presenting so we think he'd be a great fit.

Holly Willoughby
As well as Phillip, his on-screen partner Holly Willoughby's name has been thrown around the rumour mill a number of times. Holly is a close friend of both Ant and Dec and she's a massive hit with viewers, presenting shows like This Morning, Dancing On Ice and Celebrity Juice.

Julia Morris
Julia Morris has presented I'm a Celebrity Australia for three years! In a recent interview, on Good Morning Britain, the TV presenter said she would jump at the chance to present the UK version of the show.
It was also revealed that Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway has not be renewed for a 2019 series. The statement continued, "In addition Ant and Dec have made the joint decision not to present a new series of Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway in Spring 2019."
Ant said in the statement, "My recovery is going very well and for that to continue having spoken to Dec and ITV, I have made the decision to take the rest of the year off. I’d like to thank both Dec and ITV for their continued support and I look forward to getting back to work in the new year."

ITV are yet to confirm who will replace Ant on this year's show, or whether Dec will be presenting the show alone for the first time in history.
I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here is expected to return later in 2018.
