Joel Dommett drops massive hint about Ant's return to I'm A Celebrity
It sounds like good news!
Last updated 11th Oct 2017
With November fast approaching, the return of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here is very close to hitting our TV screens, and now last year's runner-up Joel Dommett has dropped a very big hint that Ant McPartlin will be presenting the show.
A number of rumours have suggested that Ant may not be on this year's show alongside his co-host and friend Declan Donnelly as he continues to recover from a stint in rehab earlier in the year.
Some reports even suggested that Love Island host Caroline Flack could be replacing him, but whilst attending Specsavers' Spectacle Wearer of the Year Awards last night, Joel spoke about the show.
Joel has been confirmed to present popular spin-off show I'm A Celebrity: Extra Camp alongside last year's winner Scarlett Moffatt and former EastEnders actor Joe Swash. Talking to the Mirror about the show at last night's event, Joel seemed to hint Ant will also be back.
Speaking about Ant and Dec, Joel said "They're good guys and it'll be fun to be with them and not eating something disgusting."
He then added, "It'll be nice to hang out with them and not be eating a goat's d---."
Joel also confirmed the team are heading out to Australia when he said, "We head there on November 12th and then we're there for the whole thing which will be weird from the other side.
"It's going to be so strange being there and being able to have a burrito. I was so hungry last time, all you do is talk about food so it'll be nice to just go and eat it."
Ant checked himself into rehab earlier in the year for his 'substance abuse, prescription drugs, and drinking' issues. The lovable presenter is now out of rehab and is reportedly recovering well in Los Angeles.
Back in August Ant thanked fans for their support in a heartfelt tweet which read, 'Have to say I'm overwhelmed by everyone's love, support and well wishes today. Thank you one and all. I'm sending all my love back. A xx' sic
ITV boss Kevin Lygo later seemed to confirm Ant would be back to host I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here when he replied "How very dare you", to a question asking if Ant would consider taking a break from this year's show.
Although no official confirmation has been made, it looks like our favourite Geordie duo will be back together to host the show in November.
We can't wait! 🐜🐛🐞
