Following his arrest, the presenter confirmed that he would be taking time out of work and would therefore miss this year's I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!, with Holly Willoughby taking his place on the show. The pair also confirmed that they would miss a series of Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway in 2019.

I'd like to thank both Dec and ITV for their continued support and I look forward to getting back to work in the new year."
