Will Ant be returning to I'm A Celebrity 2018?

ITV's official word is that Ant and Dec will be returning to I'm A Celebrity.

The broadcaster branded rumours that the pair had been axed "utter nonsense" and sought to reassure fans that their favourite duo would be returning.

However, an insider revealed: "There’s a very real possibility that Ant won’t be available to present the next series of the jungle.

"While Ant and Dec are a big part of the show, they aren’t bigger than the show. They are confident it would still work without them.

“If their return is going to be a problem, producers aren’t afraid to axe them from the format and get new presenters in.”

When was Ant McPartlin arrested on suspicion of drink-driving?

On Sunday, March 18, Ant was involved in a three-car smash in Richmond, London.

On Wednesday, March 21, the Met Police confirmed the TV star was being charged with drink driving.

McPartlin attended Kingston police station and was interviewed before being charged.

Who is hosting sister show Get Me Out Of Here Now?

Joel Dommett revealed he’ll be returning to the jungle with Scarlett Moffatt and Joe Swash to host I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here Now.

Confirming the trio will be supporting Declan Donnelly without Ant McPartlin on the ITV2 sister show, Joel said: “It looks like we’ll all be going out again for the spin off-show.

“It was the most successful show that they’ve had for years. The producers were super happy with it, I was so proud of it and what we made of the show.

“Everyone really loved us so it’s great, Scarlett and Joe are on board as well, we all just get on so well.

“It was a perfect match, we all loved doing it and it was a chance to get away from the wintery weather for a month and a half which was great.”

Ant McPartlin apologises for drink-driving crash and is fined £86,000 with a 20 month driving ban
