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 🇦🇺 🌴🐍🌴🕷🌴🐜'. [sic]
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 🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷'. [sic]
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."
The new series of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here begins on ITV at 9pm on Sunday 18th November.
