It’s been unconfirmed if the Geordie presenter would be well enough to front 2017’s shows after he spent a stint in rehab earlier this year for painkiller addiction.

But now the channel seem to have put fears to rest with a newly released trailer for the show which features the very clear voices of both Ant and Dec.

It’s only a short clip, but the two lads can be heard distinctly saying: “Let’s get ready to jungle”, which is a reference to their 1994 hit song Let’s Get Ready to Rhumble (yes, it had an unexplained ‘H’ in the title.)

This is VERY exciting.

The new trailer comes just days after Scarlett Moffatt appeared to confirm Ant’s return to Sun Online.

She told the site: “I’m so excited to be back with Ant and Dec. I was texting Dec yesterday about it. I’ve been packed for three weeks. It’s not long now.”

The former Gogglebox star added: “The intention is [that Ant will be there]. We’ve spoken yeah. He’s doing well.”

It’s also believed that Dec told pals that he would never host the hit reality show without his partner in rhyme (yes, that’s another ref to Ready to Rhumble. Well done.)

A source told The Mirror: “He has said the last thing he would do is go to Australia without him.”

Filming in Australia is also thought to have been pushed back by three weeks to allow Ant to fully recover before taking on any of his work commitments.

Fans of the ITV series have already began to flood Twitter with messages of support for the presenter, and their delight to see him back on their screens.

One fan wrote: “Ready? Ready? Always ready to have you boys back where you belong.”

Another added: “As long as #antmcpartlin is ok and ready to come back.”

While a third tweeted: “Great to hear your going to be in the Jungle Ant , and let’s hope Dec smartens himself up before then eh , letting you down :)”

Dec took a cheeky swipe at a tabloid earlier this week when they criticised him for looking ‘dishevelled’ on a trip to the supermarket.

Quoting a tweet from the Sun, Dec said: “Charming. You give the old razor a rest for a few days and you’re labelled ‘dishevelled’. I’ll be sure to dig out my tux next time I pop to Sainers. D”
