They simply wrote in the caption: “G’day AU.”

Fans flooded the pic with comments and said they missing having Ant on the programme.

I’m so happy for you both.

Not all viewers are happy to have Ant back, though. Some took to social media to call for ITV to reinstate Holly Willoughby, who stood in for Ant in 2018 while he took time off from his TV duties following his drink-driving conviction.

Over on Twitter, a number of viewers tweeted saying they wished the This Morning host was returning for the 2019 series.

The full lineup for this year’s I’m A Celeb leaked this weekend, when former Big Brother star Adele Roberts became the final famous face revealed to be among those heading into the jungle.

But the list of camp mates left a number of fans sorely disappointed, with a number of them complaining that they don’t know who many of the stars actually are.
