Star headed to the Frozen 2 premiere instead

She filled in for I’m A Celebrity host Ant McPartlin while he took a break from presenting the ITV show last year.

But Holly Willoughby decided to miss last night’s I’m A Celebrity launch show.

In stark contrast to the warm Aussie weather she was experiencing this time last year, Holly wrapped up warm to protect herself from the elements.

Holly wore a black knitted roll-neck dress, knee-high boots, black leather gloves and a Marks & Spencer black and white checked coat.

She added some festive sparkle to her ensemble with a couple of diamanté snowflake hair clips and a slick of red lipstick.
