Speaking about the role Holly 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...'
She continued: '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?!'
With three young children, mum Holly will find it tough to be away from her family and according to The Mirror she'll be bringing them all with her including husband Dan Baldwin for the four-week stint.
For the first time in 16 years both I'm a Celeb presenters will be parents as Dec's wife Ali is due to give birth in the next few months too.
