The mum-of-three will be heading down under in November.

As news is finally out that Holly Willoughby is set to join Declan Donnelly for this series of I’m A Celebrity while Ant McPartlin takes some time off, she’s been talking about how she and her family are going to work out the logistics of such a commitment.

The show runs for three weeks in Australia so Holly will be relocating for a month at the end of this year, as will her children.

Yes, the TV host told viewers on This Morning that she and her husband Dan have decided to take their kids out of school for the duration of the show and bring them with them.

“When I first found out, it’s obviously bittersweet, but it was exciting,” she told viewers.

“You try and work out when you’ll go and how long for.”

Holly then told viewers of how she and Dan have been discussing options with Harry, nine, Belle, seven, and Chester, three, teachers and bringing them on the adventure.

“The kids are coming with me so I’ve been speaking with the school seeing how that’s all going to work.

“Dan’s coming with, then all of a sudden that’s it, logistics are all sorted and you go oh, there’s going to be spiders and stuff.”

And Holly won’t be the only one bringing their children to work – new dad Dec will also be packing a bag for baby girl Isla as they head down under later in the year.

“I can’t wait for snuggles with her,” Holly said.

“And I think she’s going to be coming to Australia as well which is very exciting!”

The show returns to our screens in November and we cannot wait.
