Good grief she' s hardly put a foot in Australia and the knives are out it would appear, hopefully by only a few .

Holly Willoughby has a good sense of humour and no doubt will be a comfortable partner for Dec as they are all good friends.

She said a very nice thing -

" These are big shoes, not to fill, but just to keep warm for a little bit. "

I stopped watching it a while back, it just seems too gratuitous and humiliating, I think if it could be done without those elements then I would watch it again, depending on who the contestants are.

Ant and Dec have a great repartee no doubt borne out of knowing each other for years and although scripted, there is a sense of what they can bounce off each other. I'm not a fan of Holly Willoughby and her started "Bambi caught in the headlight like expression" I don't know quite why she landed the morning slot, not that I watch it. I don't perceive she has the journalistic background of Judy Finnegan but I guess it's down to her looks. As for Scarlett Moffat, please no more of her!

I imagine, as with child actors, Holly Willoughby will have tutors made available to her for her children when they travel with her.

For all we know she might have arranged schooling for them over there.
I was hoping for Stephen Mulhern, but Holly will be ok.
Anyone but Scarlet Moffat.

Out of school for weeks!!! Rules dont apply to TV presenters then .

Holly is taking her children with her. She said she would only do if if she could take them with her.

Just too dull. Won't be any fun compared to the two lads. I'll maybe not bother watching now as a direct result of this poor choice. Boo to ITV.

not keen on Holly shes a bit "up herself" as my grandson would say.Stephen Mulhern would have been my choice .Surprised actually that Holly is happy to leave her kids for so long as she's always going on about being a devoted mother.Its not like she needs the money!

I don't watch it but I'm glad it's not Scarlett Moffatt.

The Goggleboxers lose their appeal when they strike out on their own. I can't stand Rev Kate Bottomley either.

I'm also pleased that Holly has been chosen to front the show with Dec, think that they will have great chemistry. Really glad that it is not Scarlett Moffat

Pleased it's Holly Willoughby, as said previously she is very good friends with Ant & Dec and I am led to believe she was their preferred choice.

Poor old Joe Swash or Scarlett Moffat were not 'up to the job' in my opinion. They are both entertaining but 'carrying' a live show is a different matter and far more demanding.

I am thankful it isn’t Scarlett Moffat , don’t watch Holly Willoughby programmes so no idea if she is a good presenter .

Holly Willoughby is a close friend of Ant nad Dec I believe, and I imagine that will be more helpful to Dec than someone he doesn't know as well.

Jane10 Wed 29-Aug-18 12:22:14

She's such a boring choice. Scarlet Moffat or Joe Swash would have been more fun. Very disappointed.

I've just heard that Holly Willoughby is to be the next co-presenter of I'm a celebrity. As I never watch this programme I know that it shouldn't bother me, but why choose Holly who has many programmes on the TV when there are others who would dearly love the opportunity?. It seems to me that Jeremy Vine and Holly must have the best agents in the business.
