I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here 2018 is airing now on ITV, presented by Declan Donnelly and Holly Willoughby. Holly has taken over as host from Ant McPartlin after he decided to take a break from presenting to help him recover from his addiction to prescription drugs. However, bookies think Ant and Dec could host an episode together before the end of the series.
Will Ant host an episode of I’m A Celebrity 2018 with Dec?
Chances seem slim that Ant and Dec will be reunited before 2019, though there has been a flurry of bets recently.
In August, Ant and Dec released a statement that announced Ant would be taking a break from presenting.
The statement read: “Ant McPartlin today announces he will continue to take a break from all television presenting roles until 2019.
“Ant will not present I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! in November this year.”
WHY IS ANT NOT DOING I’M A CELEBRITY THIS YEAR?
However, bookies PaddyPower have started taking bets that Ant will return to host an episode.
They are currently offering odds of 25/1 that Ant will host an episode.
Originally, they were also offering 25/1 odds of Holly Willoughby leaving I’m A Celebrity before the end of the current series.
However, these odds have now shortened to 16/1.

A PaddyPower spokesperson said: “It’s early days, but watching Dec without Ant just doesn’t quite feel right, and Holly’s already taken some flak for her debut jungle performance.
“So much so that we’ve slashed the likelihood of her bowing out before the series with over, and returning to our screens alongside Phillip Schofield.”
However, the favourite to replace her should she leave is not Ant but Extra Camp host Scarlett Moffatt.
The bookies are currently offering odds of 20/1 of Scarlett replacing Holly.
WHERE IS I’M A CELEBRITY FILMED?
Ant did not appear at the Britain’s Got Talent final in June, or any of the prior live shows.
There has so far been no indication Ant is on his way to Australia to prepare for an appearance on I’m A Celebrity.
Prior to the show starting, Ant shared a message of support on Twitter.
The tweet read: “All the very best of luck to the little fella and @hollywills for the show tonight. Lots of love from the big fella!! A#ImACeleb Xxxxxx”
I’m A Celebrity 2018 continues at 9pm
