Ant and Dec have been 'targeting' one of this year's I'm A Celebrity line-up for years, with them being desperate to have Chris Moyles on the show.
After being pictured landing in Australia last week, the former Radio 1 breakfast show host was officially confirmed to be on th e I'm a Celebrity line-up on Monday evening, when ITV released pictures of the likes of him, Boy George, Jill Scott and Mike Tindall in their jungle gear.
Ant and Dec have made no secret of wanting to get Radio X presenter Chris on I'm A Celeb, first making their intentions known in 2012, when Dec said: "He would be really funny, he’d probably win. And he’s lost so much weight, even the lack of food wouldn’t bother him.” Ant added: “The thing is eventually they all say yes. We just wear them down.”

In I'm A Celebrity odds released on Tuesday, before news broke that Matt Hancock was going in, bookies had Chris on odds of 11/2 to triumph in the jungle, behind the likes of Mike Tindall, Jill Scott and Olivia Attwood.
