Ant Will Be Back In Australia To Host I’m A Celebrity

ITV

I’m A Celebrity‘s Joel Dommett has hinted both Ant and Dec will present the reality show when it returns to ITV later this year.

The comedian finished second in last year’s series, missing out on the crown to Gogglebox star, Scarlett Moffatt – and it’s been revealed the pair will present the I’m A Celeb spin-off show Extra Camp.

Earlier this year Ant entered rehab after becoming addicted to the prescription medication Tramadol, following a ‘botched’ knee operation.

It just wouldn’t be the same without the two of them together – you’ll see why in the video below:

There’ve been doubts about his return to the hit reality show, filmed in Australia, with bookies taking bets who would replace him in his role alongside Dec.

Caroline Flack is the current favourite to co-present.

However, Joel, speaking to the Mirror, said he was excited to work with both Ant and Dec.

Joel said:

They’re good guys and it’ll be fun to be with them and not eating something disgusting.

It’ll be nice to hang out with them and not be eating a goat’s d*ck.

And while no date has been revealed for the new series, Joel did shed some light on when he’s flying out to the jungle, adding:

We head there on November 12th and then we’re there for the whole thing which will be weird from the other side.

There’ve already been a few whispers of who’s supposedly going into the jungle:

According to The Sun, the 27-year-old is confirmed for the show after recently breaking up with her long-term boyfriend.

Mike Thalassitis aka Muggy Mike

ITV2

Mike, from Love Island, is a rumoured contestant despite I’m A Celeb having a ‘no reality TV rule’ (which you’ll see is about as enforced as the rule about eating cheese before going to bed)..

On the ridiculously popular ITV2 show, he was known as ‘Muggy Mike’ after pursuing fellow islander, Chris Hughes’ girlfriend Olivia Attwood, and then apparently slept with Jessica Shears straight after they were both eliminated.

And he’s not alone.. because Jonny Mitchell is also rumoured to be on the line-up…

Love Islander, Jonny, has apparently been asked by bosses for a meeting to talk about him being on the show.

At this rate, they may as well call it I’m a Love Islander Get Me Out Of Here.

Craig Charles

Craig already made an appearance in the show in 2014 and it’s rumoured he could re-enter the jungle for a second stint this time around.

He told RadioTimes.com:

I’ve just been asked if I’ll go back in the Jungle again.

Because that was cut short… and never say never, you know?

Danielle Armstrong

The former TOWIE star is apparently being lined up for a stint in the jungle, The Sun Online exclusively revealed.

She hasn’t really done anything since X-Factor, so who knows?

Sam Thompson

PA

Another Made In Chelsea boy, Sam Thompson, is rumoured for the show – although he’s only just left Celebrity Big Brother, so who knows?

This one’s unlikely…

But speaking to You’re Welcome magazine, he said:

I have been constantly asked to be on I’m A Celeb. But it’s just not for me, I’m afraid.
