First look at I'm A Celebrity 2019 hosts as they arrive in Australia

The first stars of I'm A Celebrity have jetted out to Australia as ITV bosses confirmed the show's start date.

Kate Garraway and Alan Halsall have been named as the favourites to take on the Bushtucker Trials.

The full line-up is yet to be revealed but one person who is confirmed is Ant McPartlin, who will be returning to the jungle along with Declan Donnelly.

Ahead of the new series starting on Sunday, November 17, the hosts of the show made their way to the jungle.

Dec is the first celebrity to have arrived in the company of his wife Ali Astall and baby Isla, reports the Mirror.

Soon after touching down in Oz, the presenter will waste no time getting to work on the latest series.

Not far behind him, Emily Atack joins Joel Dommett and Adam Thomas to make a beeline for the jungle ahead of their stint on the spin-off show I'm A Celebrity: Extra Camp.

Ant McPartlin and his love Anne-Marie Corbett are expected to make the journey Down Under imminently where they will join Dec and his family at the Palazzo Versace hotel.

It's a big year for Ant as he makes his epic return after taking a year hiatus from the show.

Last year, Ant stepped down from his TV commitments when he was involved in a crash on March 18 last year and arrested for drink-driving.

After pleading guilty to the offence, he was banned from driving and fined.

Holly Willoughby filled in for Ant, but she confirmed last year that this would be a one-off.
