McPartlin is taking time out to recover after pleading guilty to drink driving earlier this year and will be replaced by This Morning’s Holly Willoughby.

She will join Declan Donnelly in Australia to front the ITV show.

Announcing her role in I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here!, Willoughby said she is “scared of everything”.

She said: “I couldn’t be more excited to have been asked to stand alongside Dec for the next jungle adventure.

“I love Ant and want to send him my best wishes and support for a continued recovery.

“These are big shoes, not to fill, but just to keep warm for a little bit… Honestly, I’m a huge fan of I’m A Celebrity and actually feel like I’ve won a competition to go and hang out on my favourite show!

“When is it a good time to tell Dec I’m scared of everything that moves?!”

Knowles’ representatives have been contacted for comment.
