We are so excited for next weekend’s arrival of I’m A Celebrity 2018 – and it looks like we’re not the only ones.
Presenter Declan Donnelly and his new co-host Holly Willoughby have been busy working on their chemistry ahead of their on-screen debut, with a night out together on the Gold Coast.
Fans were thrilled to get a sneak preview of the new combo of presenters, taking to Twitter to comment: “Can’t wait, good luck Dec and Holly, you both can do this. Do it for ant back home x.”
Another added: “Good luck Dec and Holly can’t wait for the show to start.”
A third wrote: “Even though Ant’s not doing it this year, I’m still glad that it’s going ahead with Dec and Holly because a few months ago we didn’t know what was going to happen #ImACeleb.”
Dec, 42, and Holly, 37, were seen smiling and laughing as they enjoyed dinner and drinks with a couple of friends.
Holly left her husband, Dan Baldwin and three children Harry, nine, Belle, seven, and four-year-old Chester at the hotel for the night.
The This Morning star recently confirmed they’d be joining her in Australia during filming.
She defended the decision to keep the kids out of school for about a month.

The veteran presenter explained: “I’ve had to be really clear with them, they can play for a couple of hours but none of us are on holiday.
“We’re all doing work.”

She added: “The headmaster was amazing. If the kids couldn’t come then it would have been a completely different ball game and I would have had to have a long, hard think about it.”
