Declan Donnelly has opened up on how the long journey to Australia for I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! is getting more stressful.
The 47-year-old presenter landed Down Under on Thursday with his wife Ali Astall, their daughter Isla, four, and three-month-old son Jack.
While he and Ant McPartlin will be busy watching the celebs undertaking the bushtucker trials, Dec admitted that he’s looking forward to enjoying some ‘family time’ when he has breaks from shooting the new show.
He said: ‘We have got the family here, baby Jack. And Isla is here, we have got the whole gang.
‘It is a bit more stressful coming now, you watch less movies. But it is fine and great to be able to bring them out.
‘We can have a bit of family time as well as getting the series going as well.’
Dec also admitted he and Ant are ‘really excited’ about this year’s line-up.
