Holly Willoughby is reportedly set to replace Ant McPartlin on this year’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
The popular telly host is currently in rehab receiving treatment for a prescription drug and alcohol addiction.
While the presenter should be finished his stint in rehab before I’m A Celeb filming begins in Australia, ITVÂ have reportedly given Ant the option of taking a full year off so he can recover.
The Star On Sunday has now reported that This Morning host Holly Willoughby could step in for Ant, and join Declan Donnelly as his co-host.

And sources say ITV are willing to bring Holly and her entire family to Australia for six weeks so she can do the show.
“I’m a Celeb is ITV’s biggest show of the year so they’re keen to get a plan in place should Ant want to continue his down time, Holly is the number one choice, she’s the nation’s favourite and already a huge fan of the show,” said a source.
“Building on-screen chemistry and relationships is what Holly does best, which is perfect for the jungle.”
