Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly enjoy one of the most decorated presenting partnerships in British TV for over two decades.
And so when Holly Willoughby stepped in for Ant for the 2018 series of I’m A Celebrity, both stars and viewers at home experienced unfamiliar telly territory.
Fans initially had a mixed reaction to Holly’s performance, according to reports. And she too agreed her participation was “overwhelming” and “surreal” following her first day on the job.
However, not being part of the set up due to his personal woes at the time meant Ant – who hosts Limitless Win alongside Dec this weekend – couldn’t even bear to see his replacement in his role.

Speaking with The Guardian in March 2019, Ant admitted he found it difficult seeing his old pal in his slot.
