I’m A Celebrity host Ant McPartlin sparked fears on his future on the beloved programme as he discussed ‘his baby at home’

Beloved presenter Ant McPartlin has sparked fears that he could be quitting I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! after comments made about juggling the show with being a father.

The star, alongside co-host Declan Donnelly, fronts the popular ITV programme which saw McFly singer Danny Jones be crowned the latest King of the Jungle. The hosting duo watched, in clean clothes, as the celebrity campmates were covered in offal, fish guts, slime and insects all for our entertainment.

After the winner was crowned last week, the cast of 2024 are back for I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! Coming Out, which airs on Friday at 9pm on ITV1, STV and ITVX. Fans will get to see the campates talk about their experience in the Australian jungle as well as watch how they celebrated as they left camp.

In a preview for the show, hosts Ant and Dec are seen reflecting on a successful series which saw the likes of Danny, Coleen Rooney, Reverend Richard Coles, Oti Mabuse, Alan Halsall, GK Barry, Barry McGuigan, Maura Higgins, Melvin Odoom, Tulisa Contostavlos, Dean McCullough and Jane Moore put through their paces.

Dec said: “I’m not quite ready for it to be over,” while Ant disagreed as he discussed his baby Wilder at home with his wife Anne-Marie. Ant said of the three-week experience in Australia: “Oh I am, I’m very tired mind you I do have a new baby at home so that might be something.”

His co-host, Dec, went on to said: “I just love them though” with Ant very much in agreement as he added: “I do like them, they’re a great cast aren’t they?.” Ant was only recently pictured at Heathrow Aiport with his wife and seven-month-old baby after spending weeks away in Australia.

He looked over the moon to be back home after wrapping the show. The 2024 series has been the first time Ant has juggled dad duties with working in Australia, after becoming a first time dad earlier this year.

An average audience of 7.1 million viewers tuned in to see the McFly star Jones beat TV personality Coleen to the title, a rise from the 6.6 million viewers who watched TV star Sam Thompson win last year, ITV said. Singer and guitarist Danny secured his win after receiving 55.2% of the public vote, while Rooney came in second with 44.8%, according to the vote count.
