Declan Donnelly and Holly Willoughby have shared their first official photographs in Australia, ahead of the upcoming new series of I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! Dec wasn't shy of poking fun at his missing presenting partner Ant McPartlin, either, writing alongside his Instagram post: "Ant’s looking well don’t you think!? I’m joking of course, Holly and I are looking forward to welcoming you to Australia next Sunday night. D." The snap shows Holly and Dec smiling happily in front of the show's classic leafy background.

Of course, the pair's fans were quick to post their excited comments, with one writing: "Good luck Holly! Think you should do a challenge though. Just to welcome you to the jungle!" Another added: "It will not be the same without Ant but all the best to you both - Holly’s a great presenter I’m sure it’ll be fine."
