I'm A Celeb first look as Ant and Dec are told names of this year's line-up

It's official - this year's series of I'm A Celebrity has kicked off as iconic duo Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly meet with ITV bosses to confirm the new line-up.

The Geordie presenters gathered together this morning for a meeting with the show's producers to find out what's in store and who to expect for this year's bunch of celebrities.

Ant looks shocked in the photo as he's pictured with his mouth open, while Dec seems worried as he pulls a face with very wide eyes.

They're pictured in a boardroom with I'm A Celeb branding on a TV screen and laptop, which suggests the lads took the picture in the middle of their meeting.

Susanna Reid is keen for Piers Morgan to be a contestant in the jungle this year, as she wrote on the post: "Are you taking Piers Morgan off my hands," with a praying emoji.

And This Morning's Holly Willoughby, who stepped in for Ant last year following his crash while drink-driving, is eager to find out who will be on the list.

She commented: "How exciting!!!!!" followed by a line of insect and animal emojis. Holly could be suggesting she will be taking part this year, who knows.
