After revealing that she would be replacing Ant McPartlin for this year's series, Holly admitted that she wasn’t looking forward to coming face-to-face with bugs, but that she was looking forward to bringing her children out to Australia with her for the adventure. She said on This Morning: "The weird this is, when I first found out, it's very exciting, it's kind of bitter sweet obviously, and then you're working out the logistics of how you're going to go and how long for - and the kids are coming with me." She added: "I was speaking to the school and how that's all going to work, and Dan [her husband] and my mum and dad who are coming out as well, and suddenly all logistics are sorted and then I go, 'Oh, there's going to be like spiders and stuff there…!'"
