Holly Willoughby was a huge hit with viewers when she stepped into Ant McPartlin’s presenting role on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!.
And now she’s the bookie’s favourite to return to the jungle next year alongside Dec Donnelly.
Despite a shaky start, the 37-year-old presenter is being backed to host with Dec when the reality show returns next year – even if Ant is available to make his comeback.

Betway’s Alan Alger said: “Holly slotted in to I’m A Celeb presenting duties seamlessly and did a fine job alongside Dec for this year’s series.
“The newly formed duo are our even money favourites to present the show in 2019, with Dec’s regular on-screen partner Ant 7/4 to make it a three-way line-up.”
However, the Geordie duo are also competitively priced to return.
Alan explains: “Ant and Dec have presented the show since its inception in 2002 and they are 5/1 to resume their partnership ahead of the 19th series of the show without Holly.”

And fans were full of praise for Holly, with one fan tweeting: “Is it wrong that I don’t want ant back next year @hollywills has been brilliant.”
It has already been revealed that the presenter, who paid herself a whopping £1.7 million last year, will not be returning the This Morning until 2019, so she can take a well-deserved break following her jungle stint.
