Noel Edmonds became the first star to be booted out of the jungle on this year’s I’m A Celebrity on Friday night.

A divisive character, it’s no surprise that – while many viewers obviously wanted him out – there were plenty of others who really, really wanted him to stay.
He added plenty of humour as well as a much-needed sprinkling of tension in camp, they argue.
Some have suggested they would like him to come back… as Dec’s co-host!
Now Noel is out he can present the show with Dec, bye holly! #ImACeleb

#ImaCeleb #ExtraCamp Can Noel please take over from Holly, him and Dec would be brilliant for the rest of the series!

ITV should make Noel Edmonds stick around and earn his £600k. Imagine him co-hosting with Dec. I’m sure Holly would understand. #ImACeleb

Noel Edmonds has only been on #ImACeleb for 30 seconds and already I think they should have got him to co present with Dec. He’s hilarious!

There’s no denying the obvious respect that Dec has for Noel… he was obviously a huge inspiration to him growing up.
He’s the granddaddy of irreverent Saturday morning kids’ TV and chaotic Saturday teatime entertainment shows, after all!
Dec looks close to tears! He’s got some Real love for Noel #ImACeleb

find someone who looks at you the way Dec looks at Noel #heroworship #ImACeleb

It’s obvious how much Dec idolises Noel, he’s like a school-boy meeting his hero #ImACeleb

I love dec, but my god he is so far up Noel’s arse it’s cringey #ImACeleb

Given that Holly Willoughby has proven such a success covering for Ant McPartlin, though, we aren’t sure there’s any chance of this happening.

Maybe this viewer’s suggestion could be a consideration for 2019, though…
We should put Ant and Dec into the jungle next year and let Holly and Noel host! #extracamp #imaceleb @imacelebrity
