Tired Ant McPartlin beams as he reunites with best pal Declan Donnelly in Australia ahead of I'm A Celeb
Ant McPartlin has arrived to Australia ahead of next week's new series launch of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here and, despite the long trip, got straight to catching up with his best pal Declan Donnelly as they headed out to breakfast together. Dec, who arrived Down Under earlier in the week, took his wife Ali Astall, and their children Isla, six, and Jack, two, along for the meet-up.
Donning a plain black T-shirt and a pair of black sports shorts with a matching baseball cap, Ant flashed a smile as he carried a shopping bag with him, while Dec appeared in high spirits in a complementing all black ensemble. While Dec's family are along for the ride, it appears that Ant's wife, Anne-Marie Corbett, has stayed back home with their baby son Wilder.
The iconic show will kick off next week for a brand new series - with stars such as Coleen Rooney and Maura Higgins in the rumoured line-up.

A number of other celebs were spotted making the trip to Australia this week, including current King Of The Jungle Sam Thompson, who took off on Saturday ahead of co-hosting the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here spin-off show Unpacked with Joel Dommett and Kemi Rodgers.
Joel was a runner-up on the show in 2016 and previously hosted the previous I'm A Celebrity spin-off show. During a chat on Good Morning Britain this Tuesday past, Joel shared: "I did the extra show for three years, which I loved. I feel like I learned everything there. And then it stopped for a couple of years, and it feels like the right time to bring it back. And we're really sort of mixing it up. We're changing it a lot."
Rumoured contestant Danny Jones, known for being in boyband McFly, was also spotted at Heathrow Airport this weekend, all set for his flight to Australia. Danny was all smiles as he strolled through departures, with ITV expected to confirm the full line-up in the coming days.
Tulisa Contostavlos, former X Factor judge and N Dubz singer, is also tipped to make a TV comeback on the show.
Boxing legend Barry McGuigan is another name in the mix, stepping in as the sportsman of the group after Ally McCoist dropped out. Bookies currently have Danny as the favourite to win, following in the footsteps of his McFly bandmate Dougie Poynter who won the show back in 2011.
Adding to the list of celebs, internet sensation GK Barry, and ballroom queen Oti Mabuse, formerly of Strictly Come Dancing fame, are also anticipated arrivals in the Australian wilderness.
The airwaves will be well-represented with DJ Melvin Odoom, the divine Reverend Richard Coles, and Coronation Street heartthrob Alan Halsall all believed to be packing their jungle gear for the 2024 series.
