Phillip Schofield reveals Holly Willoughby's future on I'm A Celebrity
She's stepped in for Ant McPartlin this year
Author: Emma DoddsPublished 6th Dec 2018
Holly Willoughby has been doing an amazing job of stepping in for Ant McPartlin by co-hosting this year's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! with Dec Donnelly. Stepping away from her normal duties on the This Morning sofa alongside her 'TV husband' Phillip Schofield, she's put aside her fear of creepy crawlies to present the show.
Many have been wondering whether Holly's success on I'm A Celeb would mean that she could take up the reins on a more permanent basis - and Phillip has now spoken out on the rumours.
In an interview with the Daily Star, Phillip has revealed that although he's super proud of what she's achieved, she will definitely not be returning next year as she's just fulfilling a "caretaker role".
He said, "Holly has been a triumph in the jungle. I am so pleased because it's worked out so well for Dec in what was a tricky situation. It was always going to be a difficult series for Dec so I was happy Holly was able to step in."
He added, "But I can assure you it's very much a caretaker role. Don't get too attached."
