Holly Willoughby is getting just as excited about the return of I’m A Celebrity as we are, it seems.
The TV fave, who is now in Australia preparing to host the show from next Sunday, shared a picture of Instagram earlier to mark the beginning of her experience.
“And so it begins!” she wrote, alongside a promo shot of her and co-presenter Declan Donnelly.
She also made her followers super envious by sharing a short clip of her strolling along golden sand as the sea gently lapped at her sun-kissed feet.
Not fair, especially on a grey November Monday!
Holly landed in Australia over the weekend with her family and she wasted no time in catching up with Dec.
They were snapped enjoying a casual dinner out together on the Gold Coast.
Fans were thrilled to get a sneak preview of the new combo of I’m A Celeb presenters, with one taking to Twitter to comment: “Can’t wait, good luck Dec and Holly, you both can do this. Do it for ant back home x.” [sic]
Another added: “Good luck Dec and Holly can’t wait for the show to start.”
A third wrote: “Even though Ant’s not doing it this year, I’m still glad that it’s going ahead with Dec and Holly because a few months ago we didn’t know what was going to happen #ImACeleb.”
Dec, 42, and Holly, 37, were seen smiling and laughing as they enjoyed dinner and drinks with a couple of friends.
Holly left her three children Harry, nine, Belle, seven, and four-year-old Chester at the hotel for the night.
The This Morning star recently confirmed they’d be joining her in Australia during filming.
She defended the decision to keep the kids out of school for about a month.

The This Morning presenter explained: “I’ve had to be really clear with them, they can play for a couple of hours but none of us are on holiday.
“We’re all doing work.”

She added: “The headmaster was amazing. If the kids couldn’t come then it would have been a completely different ball game and I would have had to have a long, hard think about it.”
