She will join Dec on the show
Last updated 24th Sep 2018
This Morning presenter Holly Willoughby has opened up about how presenter Ant McPartlin reacted to the news that she will replace him on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! this year.
The blonde bombshell will take over Ant's presenting role on the show this winter as he continues with his year out of showbiz to recover.
As the 37-year-old presenter prepares to head to Australia to present I'm A Celebrity alongside Dec Donnelly (who recently welcomed his first child Isla Elizabeth Anne into the world), she revealed to The Daily Mail that Ant is "happy" about the replacement choice.
Holly said, “He was part of the discussion from the off. He’s happy that I’m looking after it until he gets back. It does help that we all know each other.”

She also admitted that it's going to be "weird" for her to present alongside Dec, as she's used to only presenting alongside her This Morning and Dancing On Ice co-star Phillip Schofield.
“I think it’s going to be much weirder for Dec. I mean he’s only ever worked with Ant,” she added.
It seems that Holly also sought advice from her presenting buddy and long-term friend Phillip over taking the I'm A Celebrity job offer. She said, “When it comes to TV, Phil gives really good advice…He laughed at the thought of me freaking out over the bugs."
Holly said in a statement, "I couldn’t be more excited to have been asked to stand alongside Dec for the next jungle adventure. I love Ant and want to send him my best wishes and support for a continued recovery.
"These are big shoes, not to fill, but just to keep warm for a little bit...Honestly, I’m a huge fan of I’m a Celebrity and actually feel like I’ve won a competition to go and hang out on my favourite show!"
