I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! finally returned to our screens last night (November 18), and with it came a brand new replacement.

(And no, we're not talking about Kiosk Kev.)

Standing in for Ant McPartlin as he continues his recovery is Holly Willoughby, and while many fans of the show are thrilled with Dec's new partner in crime, not everyone is convinced.

Exhibit A? Holly's long-time friend and This Morning co-host, Phillip Schofield.

In news that we completely sympathise with, Schofe has admitted that he's "jealous" of Holly's new job Down Under. Like, really jealous.

While watching the show last night, the presenter told a fan on Twitter that he was "Sooooo jealous" to see Holly alongside Declan Donnelly in the jungle.

Think of the spiders though, Phil. And the early starts.

Ant was a little more supportive of his successor, though, wishing both Dec and Holly "all the very best of luck" ahead of the new series' launch. "Lots of love from the big fella!!"

Meanwhile, in other I'm a Celebrity news, one legendary campmate is already emerging as a front-runner for viewers – no thanks to his utterly unbelievable anecdotes.

While taking part in a challenge involving a car, Harry Redknapp told his team: "I used to think I was a good driver but I had a nightmare and ran over my wife one day. I mean, you couldn't make it up, could you?"

No. No, you couldn't.

I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! continues tonight (November 19) at 9pm on ITV.
