Holly Willoughby has shared her delight at receiving a farewell cake and presents from friends Emma Bunton and Nicole Appleton before heading to Australia for I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here!
The TV presenter, who is joining Declan Donnelly to host the reality series later this month, showed off a cake that had “Good Luck Down Under” written across it in icing, and decorations including a koala bear.
Holly wrote: “Mmmmmm yummy … my girls know what I like … thank you beautiful ladies,” and tagged singers Appleton and Bunton in the post, along with friend Shiarra Bell.

A second post saw the This Morning presenter revealing a pile of presents from her group of friends.
She flicked through a travel guide for Australia with a mug with her friends’ faces printed on it and a cork hat, writing that her friends were “just the best” and that they had “thought of everything”.
Holly’s role as Dec’s I’m A Celebrity co-host was confirmed in August.
She said in a statement at the time: “I couldn’t be more excited to have been asked to stand alongside Dec for the next jungle adventure. I love Ant [McPartlin] 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 is replacing Ant McPartlin, who has hosted the programme with his presenting partner since it began in 2002.
Ant previously announced he was stepping back from TV commitments and public appearances following a drink-driving conviction.
Rochelle Humes is co-hosting This Morning alongside Phillip Schofield in Holly’s absence.

I’m A Celebrity starts on November 18 on ITV.
