Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly have touched down in Australia for their new series of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
And the duo were spotted enjoying some downtime on Monday before all the madness starts on Sunday November 19.
Ant, 47, cut a causal display as he stepped out solo to grab some essentials in Cabarita Beach.
While Dec, 48, enjoyed some company as he headed out for some breakfast with his wife Ali Astall, 44, holding hands.
The full lineup for I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! 2023 has been unveiled and it features some of the show’s most outspoken characters ever.
Solo: Ant McPartlin, 47, stepped out alone to grab some shopping in Australia on Monday ahead of his busy upcoming schedule I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here
Company: Meanwhile, Declan Donnelly, 48, enjoyed an outing with his wife Ali Astall, 44, before the madness starts Sunday, November 19 for the launch
Ant looked calm and composed as he headed out to run some errands alone.
He sported a blue T-shirt, with blue and white pinstripe shorts, teamed with red and white Adidas sliders.
Dec appeared to be in full spirits as he stepped out laughing with Ali and slipped into a black sweatshirt and shorts combo.
Ali kept cool and comfy in blue denim shorts and a grey jumper, accessorised with a straw beach bag and Gucci sliders.
Ali and their two children Isla, five, and Jack, 16 months, have joined Dec in Australia for this years’ series.
While the contestants will be sleeping in the outdoors in cramped sleeping quarters and a plank with a hole in it for a toilet, Dec has rented a £1000-a-night luxury beachside apartment with a private pool for his stay in Australia, MailOnline can reveal.
The four bedroom property boasts idyllic views, and even an outdoor spa. In room massages are also available, while residents can gaze out of the ‘glistening surf’ and ‘soft white sand beach’ which is close to the Gold Coast.
There is also a rooftop pool for Dec and his family to use.

Leading this year’s campmates are Fred Sirieix, Grace Dent, Danielle Harold, Marvin Humes and Josie Gibson, with the stars seen in their jungle garb for the first time in new photographs.
Also preparing for a stint in the Australian outback are Jamie Lynn Spears, Sam Thompson, Nella Rose, Nigel Farage and Nick Pickard.
The 10 celebrities will be seen for the first time on Sunday night’s launch show when they meet Ant and Dec and prepare to kick off three weeks of living with creepy crawlies and Bushtucker Trials.
One controversial campmate this year is former leader of the Brexit Party, Nigel, who will be hoping to mimic the success of Matt Hancock last year, who went from being one of the most despised campmates to finishing in third place.
Nigel is the latest in a long list of political figures to try their luck on the ITV reality show, including MPs Nadine Dorries and Lembit Opik, and Boris Johnson’s father, Stanley.
Also hoping to show the public ‘who I truly am’ is the pop star Britney Spears’ younger sister, Jamie Lynn, 32, who suggested she could be set to spill details on her rift with her famous sister.
The pop icon’s misgivings towards her younger sister were laid bare in recent autobiography The Woman In Me, in which she claimed Jamie Lynn had refused her plea for help after Britney was admitted to a residential treatment facility, purportedly against her will.
Another campmate hoping to show off a different side to themselves is EastEnders actress Danielle, 31.

Set your alarms: I’m A Celebrity launches on Sunday, November 19 at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX
She explained: ‘I am a little bit ditzy but I am definitely not the dumb blonde of, “Oh look she won’t want to get involved or do that.” In fact, that is the opposite to me. I want to do the different challenges and I can’t wait to do the Deals on Wheels challenge!’
Fellow soap star Nick, 48, is keen to let the public know the real him after playing Tony Hutchinson in Hollyoaks for a whopping three decades.
Made In Chelsea star Sam, 31, is most looking forward to a digital detox in the jungle, explaining: ‘To be able to throw the phone away and get in the wild will be so cool. I spend my whole life on my phone and so I am looking forward to getting stuck in.’
This Morning presenter Josie, 38, is not as optimistic about how much she’ll enjoy the jungle, confessing: ‘I am dreading the insects and it’s my biggest phobia. I also don’t like spiders and I freeze normally when I see one. My family thinks I am mad doing the programme.’
Fred will no doubt have plenty in common with fellow foodie Grace, 50, with the MasterChef star and food critic admitting: ‘I am especially dreading being really hungry because I tend to eat four or five posh meals out a week because I am a restaurant critic.
JLS singer Marvin, 38, has been having sleepless nights in the lead up to the jungle, sharing: ‘This is the most daring thing I have ever done and I have never challenged myself this way before. It’s one million per cent harder than performing on stage and I woke up with knots in my stomach this morning thinking about it.

Aside from family, what will you miss most whilst in camp?: I know this sounds lame but gaming.
