Holly Willoughby will be replacing Ant McPartlin on 'I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!' as Ant returns to rehab following a drink and driving incident in April. This information comes just a day after it was revealed that the 37-year-old was in secret talks with bosses about joining the team.

According to Mirror, a source close to Holly confirmed that her new gig as host alongside Declan Donnelly is a done deal, saying, "Holly is 100% confirmed to be going into the Jungle this year as Ant's stand-in. It's been in the works for weeks as ITV were really keen on getting her in." 

"They've taken their time announcing it as they wanted to be sure Holly could fit it in with her family and other work commitments," the source continued.
