Scarlett Moffatt was favourite to present I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! with Declan Donnelly in Ant McPartlin's absence. Standing in for the 'Ant' half of Ant and Dec is a tough job, but TV fans thought former Gogglebox star and I'm A Celeb jungle queen Scarlett would do a cracking job at it.

It's now been revealed that Scarlett - who has previously helped the Geordie presenters out on Saturday Night Takeaway - will be presenting spin off show instead, Extra Camp. She will be presenting alongside former Eastenders star Joe Swash and comedian Joel Dommett.

This is great news, but it also means that Scarlett WON'T be replacing Ant McPartlin after it was announced he won't be returning to present the show this year due to addiction recovery.

Does this mean Dec will be going it alone?

The popular presenter did a fine job when Ant had to drop out of Saturday Night Takeaway earlier this year following the star being charged for drink driving.

Former Coronation Street actor Ryan Thomas is rumoured to have signed up for the show. His brother Adam was a popular figure on I'm A Celebrity back in 2016.

A source has now told The Sun: "Bosses still don’t know if they will replace Ant, but it’s equally possible that Dec will do it on his own.

“He showed just how competent he is solo when he did Takeaway and BGT earlier in the year.”

Meanwhile, as Scarlett prepares to present Extra Camp later this year, she's been living her best life on a holiday in Las Vegas.

She shared photos splashing around in a pool and floating in a flamingo rubber ring. JEL.

This comes after splitting from ex boyfriend Lee Wilkinson earlier this year and branding him a 'pathological liar'.

Ooo, errr. Well we reckon a few weeks down under with the lads will do Scar the world of good.
