Richard Madeley has apologised to his co-stars as he returned to Good Morning Britain.
The TV presenter was reunited with Susanna Reid on Monday's show after he spent a couple of weeks off.
Alastair Campbell had instead been hosting the show alongside Susanna.
At the start of the ITV news programme this morning, Susanna turned to Richard and said: "Welcome back to the programme."
To which Richard replied: "Yes, I had a little two-week break.
"I'm with you now for a solid month, so sorry about that."
But Susanna wasted no time into quizzing Richard on whether he is in fact going to appear in this year's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here.
"Are you doing anything in a month's time?" she cheekily asked.
"I'm asked this every year," Richard responded. "I checked with ITV about what they want me to say about this because I may be going in or I may not be going in.
"They said quite a few names are leaked at this point.
"ITV quite like for its people not to confirm or deny because I could be a hare that's running in the race or I could just be a distraction.
"I'm afraid that's all I can say."
The Sun reported that Richard was among this year's crop of celebs heading for north Wales when the hit ITV show returns to Gwrych Castle for a second year.
But an ITV spokesperson previously told The Mirror: "Any names suggested for the new series of I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! are just speculation."
