During an I'm A Celeb segment, Holly revealed she's a fan of Roman, 26, as she discussed last night's launch show with co-host Phillip Schofield and former jungle stars Georgia Toffolo, Kian Egan and Christopher Biggins.

Phil asked: "Who do we think is going to win? Is it possible at this stage?"

Former winner Toff was the first to predict Caitlyn Jenner, who is now odds on favourite, while Westlife star Kian revealed he's getting behind Ian Wright.

Holly then added: "I think Roman Kemp is going to do very well. I think he's going to be very charming."

Roman is currently 11/2 to win, according to bookies.

Holly temporarily waved goodbye to This Morning last November after she landed the job as Ant's I'm A Celeb replacement.

Although she was a huge hit with fans, Holly was only there to step in for Ant for one series.

At the time, Phillip assured viewers it was only a "caretaker role", adding: "Holly has been a triumph in the jungle.

"I am so pleased because it's worked out so well for Dec in what was a tricky situation.

"It was always going to be a difficult series for Dec so I was happy Holly was able to step in."

Despite her time in the famous jungle, Holly failed to mention the one-off gig during today's This Morning show.
