Dec is one of the last of the I'm A Celeb crew to fly out to Australia, with the star being pictured attending a meeting at his management office alongside Ant yesterday

It is believed that the pair were planning Ant's 2019 TV comeback, with a source telling The Sun Online: "Ant’s wellbeing is at the forefront of everyone’s minds and he’s in a great place.

"But now they are trying to work out how his comeback will plan out and how everything will work."

It is expected that Ant will return to Britain’s Got Talent with Dec early in the New Year, when filming for the auditions begins.

The Geordie duo’s popular show Saturday Night Takeaway will not return until 2020.
