Ant and Dec reunited as I'm A Celebrity 2019 filming gets under way

The boys are back in the jungle.

Work has started ahead of the latest series of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here , and Ant and Dec have reportedly started filming together for the first time on the show since Ant's drink-driving shame.

According to The Mirror , the Newcastle double-act have been filming a skit called 'Two Men and a Boat', which sees them rowing towards Australia in a lighthearted promo for the new season.

Rumours are already flying about the line-up , but one thing we know is that this year will mark Ant's official return to I'm A Celeb since he sat out the 2018 series and was replaced by Holly Willoughby.

A source told  The Sun : “Holly was a fantastic stand-in and Dec enjoyed having her with him in Australia very much, but she always said it was a one-off.

“Ant is a huge part of the success of the series so everyone on the team was looking forward to working with him again.”

The promo is set to air on TV later this year as the countdown to the new series begins.

Ant pleaded guilty to drink-driving last year, after he hit two cars in West London. The beloved TV host admitted he had been battling drink and prescription drug issue following an injury.

He stepped away from Saturday Night Takeaway and Britain's Got Talent as well as I'm a Celebrity, but made his return to the small screen in this year's BGT.

Now, North East fans are sure to be looking forward to seeing the Geordie duo together again Down Under when the hit reality show returns in November.
