I’m A Celebrity announces presenting line-up for Extra Camp 2018

All change for the main show but all the same on the spinoff!

| Updated:

Joe Swash, Scarlett Moffatt and Joel Dommett will return as hosts of I’m A Celebrity’s spinoff show, Extra Camp.

While it’s all change over on the main show with Holly Willoughby replacing Ant McPartlin, there’s been no alteration to the presenting line-up on Extra Camp.

Scarlett, 27, said: “I’m so excited to be back working with Joe and Joel for another year on Extra Camp, I absolutely adore them both.

“We have such a laugh doing the show together, I can’t wait to get back out there and meet our new celebrity jungle camp-mates.”

I’m A Celebrity will definitely have a new feel this year, with This Morning’s Holly being drafted in to replace Ant, who is taking a break from all work commitments.

She will take a break from This Morning to present the ITV programme in Australia alongside Dec Donnelly.

Holly said earlier this year: “I couldn’t be more excited to have been asked to stand alongside Dec for the next jungle adventure. I love Ant and want to send him my best wishes and support for a continued recovery.

“These are big shoes, not to fill, but just to keep warm for a little bit. Honestly, I’m a huge fan of I’m a Celebrity and actually feel like I’ve won a competition to go and hang out on my favourite show.”

She will take her three children – Harry, nine, Belle, seven, and four-year-old Chester – with her to Australia, and recently said how she’d been working with their schools to arrange tutors in Oz.

Dec, meanwhile, has said he’ll miss Ant but is excited about working with Holly.

He said: “I am hugely grateful to Holly for agreeing to accompany me to Australia this year. She was at the top of my list and I’m thrilled she said yes. It will be a different kind of series but we will try our best to ensure it is no less fun and eventful for our loyal viewers.”

As always, the contestant line-up for I’m A Celebrity is being kept firmly under wraps, but that isn’t stopping the rumours flying!

Among the big names linked to the new series is DIY SOS host Nick Knowles and The Inbetweeners actress Emily Atack, as well as Loose Women’s Coleen Nolan and X Factor’s Fleur East.

An exact start date has yet to be confirmed but usually I’m A Celebrity starts in November and runs until December.

We can’t wait!
