I’m A Celebrity’s Holly Willoughby will never get lonely in Australia with her 13-person strong entourage, including her stylist and a private tutor.
The This Morning presenter swapped White City for the Gold Coast to host with pal Declan Donnelly after Ant McPartlin stepped back from television to aid his recovery.
And it has been reported that Willoughby has a strong army behind her helping her to be the best jungle queen possible, including a “skin guru”, her agent and her nearest and dearest.
It is thought that Willoughby travelled to Australia with her agent Emily Page, stylist Angie Smith, skin expert Patsy O’Neill and private tutors for her two eldest children to ensure they don’t fall behind with school.
Harry, nine, Belle, seven, and four-year-old Chester all travelled Down Under with their mum, and dad Dan Baldwin, who has been unable to stay in Australia due to work, but were reportedly told that it is “not a holiday”.
Willoughby said that she “doesn’t think she could do her job without seeing them” and that the headmaster was “amazing” at letting them skip school – but that doesn’t mean the work stops.
Willoughby is with her parents Lynne and Brian, who had a private tour of the set, with their daughter teasing them as “new arrivals”.
Willoughby was given her own security by ITV as well as a personal limo driver to shuttle her around.
Donnelly couldn’t resist taking a swipe at his co-host and her travelling team on Tuesday night's episode, joking that her pay cheque is where the money is going.
Mockingly trying to sell Willoughby a perfume called Sheila for $3, Donnelly quipped: “Slightly pricier at $3 a litre but you can afford it.
“I've read how much you're getting for this AND I've read all about the entourage as well.”
I’m A Celebrity continues Wednesday at 9pm on ITV.
