It is understood that Ant played a big part in choosing his replacement for this year’s series Down Under while he recovers from personal problems.
The Geordie duo have been pals with Holly for many years, enjoying nights out and evenings in.
Ant, who turns 43 today, earlier received a hilarious birthday message from Dec from the other side of the world on the official Ant and Dec Twitter account.
Sharing a photo of the pair dressed up as Marge and Homer Simpson from their joint Instagram account, Dec wrote: “Happy Birthday Homer. Love, Marge x”
