Ant McPartlin teases I'm A Celeb's 'incredible cast' as he lands in Australia

Ant McPartlin has landed in Australia ahead of the new series I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here.

Ant was seen arriving in Australia today after a long flight from the UK. Speaking to The Mirror, he said: "I can't wait for the show to begin, it's an incredible cast. It'll be nice to be reunited with Dec and it'll be nice to see him."

Ant has been away from close friend Dec for around a week and he said: "It will be nice to be reunited with him, he’s had a family holiday.” Grinning he added: “it will be nice to see his tan lines. We will run towards each on the beach in open arms.”

The pair will now begin rehearsals in the jungle ahead of the show starting next weekend. Sharing some insight into the new series, Ant told The Mirror: "I though last year's series was great and with this year's series, the cast is shaping up to me really strong. Very strong."

Celebrities from the world of daytime TV, pop stardom and even politics have signed up to take part in the gruelling reality series – with the pressure on to make this year as successful as the last, that saw disgraced MP Matt Hancock and Lioness Jill Scott go head to head for the jungle crown. Days before the series' launch on November 19 at 9pm, the show's first contestant landed in Australia to prepare for a stint in the jungle.

The 48-year-old carried his son into The Spice Den in Kingscliff, Australia instead of opting for Saturday Night Takeaway. Ant and Dec will begin work on the show this week, rehearsing on site whilst ‘Guinea pig’ volunteers will act as contestants in camp.

Dec was pictured sporting a blue and white striped shirt along with a pair of dark trousers as he held his one-year-old son Jack in his arms. The one-year-old, who he shares with wife Ali Astall, also sported a shirt like his dad. Dec and Ali also share a daughter, Isla, together but she was snapped during the outing.

It has been claimed boxer Tony Bellew, influencer and rising star Nella Rose, Grace Dent, JLS singer Marvin Humes, Nigel Farage, soap star Nick Pickard, This Morning favourite Josie Gibson, Fred Sirieix, Frankie Dettori, EastEnders' Danielle Harold and Sam Thompson will be taking part.

Meanwhile, the Mirror exclusively revealed Jamie Lynn Spears will also head into the jungle. Producers believe mum-of-two Jamie Lynn, 32, will prove fascinating when she jets in to Australia for the ITV show.

One insider said: “Jamie Lynn has got decades of history and bad blood with Britney to rake over and has laid out her feelings pretty clearly in her own book. It will be interesting to hear her spill the beans about her life and her family and the controversial conservatorship - and to find out whether the sisters really do get along now - or not.”
