Holly Willoughby shares rare snap with her children in I'm A Celeb jungle throwback

Holly Willoughby has shared a rare photograph of her three children in a sweet throwback snap.

The star took to Instagram to share a picture of her sat alongside her three children in the I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! jungle.

The photo is from when Holly presented the show instead of usual host Ant McPartlin back in 2018.

Alongside the snap, Holly wrote: "Just flashed up on my phone... @Imacelebrity."

It showed Holly facing away from the camera with her three children, Chester, eight, Belle, 11, and Harry, 13.

The children were wearing the same T-shirts with their names on the back that celebrity campmates wear while on the show.

Holly presented the show alongside Declan Donnelly back in 2018 when Ant McPartlin was absent for a series.

Ant took time off from the show due to personal reasons following his conviction for drink driving.

Holly said in a statement at the time: "I couldn’t be more excited to have been asked to stand alongside Dec for the next jungle adventure.

"I love Ant and want to send him my best wishes and support for a continued recovery. These are big shoes, not to fill, but just to keep warm for a little bit... Honestly, I’m a huge fan of I’m A Celebrity and actually feel like I’ve won a competition to go and hang out on my favourite show!

"When is it a good time to tell Dec I’m scared of everything that moves?!"

It was reported at the time that Holly received a hefty wage to appear on the programme.

A TV source told The Sun back in 2018: "Holly was the first choice to stand in for Ant on the show and the six figure offer reflected how much they wanted to get her on board.

"She’s so popular and she’s got a great relationship with Dec, it was a no brainer. Holly’s worth her weight in gold and the fee reflects that."

While on the show, Holly accompanied Dec in each episode.

They hosted the contestants' Bushtucker Trials as well as presenting the show each evening.

ITV ’s Director of Television, Kevin Lygo said: "Holly is a brilliant presenter with a wicked sense of humour who has always enjoyed a great friendship and rapport with Ant and Dec – I have no doubt she will take to Jungle life, if not the critters, really quickly."

The new presenting gig meant that Holly was away from This Morning from October 18, 2018 until January 7, 2019.

To fill in for Holly, Rochelle Humes co-hosted This Morning alongside usual host Phillip Schofield.

The Saturdays star has gone on to host the show since then as well.
