Holly Willoughby was announced as Ant McPartlin's replacement for this year's series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! in August this year. After Ant decided to step down following a stint in rehab to overcome his addictions, Holly was revealed to be joining Declan Donnelly in Australia to head up the show.

Since the confirmation that Holly would be stepping in, her This Morning co-host Phillip Schofield has been making non-stop fun of her for one simple reason - Holly is notoriously TERRIFIED of bugs. Of which there are MANY in Australia.

In an attempt to get her vaguely prepared for what's to come, Phil took today's episode of This Morning (18th Oct) - Holly's last one before heading to Australia - to set up a mock Bushtucker trial to see how she got on.

It's safe to say she didn't exactly LOVE it - with Holly even screaming, "I don’t want to do it, I don’t like it," at one point.

But what was even worse was that her new co-host, Dec - who recently became a first-time father - took to Twitter to laugh at her attempts, even comparing her to notorious former campmate, Gillian McKeith.

He wrote, 'Just watched @Schofe put @hollywills through a #BushtuckerTrial on @thismorning. She was worse than Gillian McKeith! 🤦🏻‍♂️ What the heck are we in for!? #ImACeleb.' sic

Phil told the Daily Star that he almost recommended to Holly that she have some sessions with The Speakmans, who work with This Morning to cure people of their fears.

He said, "It’s possible that The Speakmans could help but she hasn’t asked them, I don’t know why she hasn’t done that.

"But if The Speakmans cure Holly of her fear of flying creatures and bugs and anything like that then that would essentially spoil it for all of us. So there’s no way I’m going to take that suggestion to her."

You meanie, Phil!
