Ant was also one of the first visitors to meet Isla in hospital on Sunday, shortly after returning from a holiday in Italy. Dec and Ali welcomed their baby girl just months before he is set to travel to Australia for I'm a Celebrity, but Holly Willoughby, who will be co-presenting the upcoming show with Dec, has revealed that Ali and little Isla will be joining them Down Under while they film the show. Chatting on This Morning, she said: "I can't wait for cuddles with her. I think she'll be coming to Australia as well!" Phillip Schofield added: "Congratulations to them, absolutely thrilling news." Holly has spoken about her fears of creepy-crawlies ahead of presenting the jungle show, saying: "When you told me, I just couldn't believe my ears. The weird thing is, when I first found out, it's very exciting, it's kind of bitter sweet obviously, and then you're working out the logistics of how you're going to go and how long for - and the kids are coming with me... I was speaking to the school and how that's all going to work, and Dan [her husband] and my mum and dad who are coming out as well, and suddenly all logistics are sorted and then I go, 'Oh, there's going to be like spiders and stuff there.'"
