Both Holly and Rylan will feature in the in their long-running I’m A Celebrity… Get Out Of My Ear prank feature, by forcing Ant, 48 and Dec, 48 into embarrassing situations.
TV star Rylan, 35, has been teasing the news about their reunion for sometimes, after working together for various stints on This Morning.
Earlier this month he posted a snap of them together, cryptically captioned: “Coming Soon.”
Other celebrities who feature in the upcoming series include Cheryl, making her ITV comeback, ten year since leaving the X Factor and her old boss Simon Cowell. As well as presenters Davina McCall, and Amanda Holden and former Strictly star Oti Mabuse.
The starry line up will mark a glittering send off for the Geordie duo, who have announced that they will bow out after this series for some time out.
In an exclusive interview with The Sun, Rylan said: “All I can say is me and Holly have done something and you’ll find out what it is very soon!
When pressed for more details, he added: “Put it this way, we’re not doing a show together but all will become clear…”
Four months after she sensationally quit This Morning, Holly made a much lauded return to telly as the host of ITV’s Dancing on Ice, alongside Stephen Mulhern.
Although her long term future in TV is yet to be announced, her appearance on Saturday Night Takeaway as well as her return to Dancing on Ice, suggests that she has no intention of turning her back on showbiz.
The 43- year-old left her presenting role on This Morning after 14 years in October after it was revealed that she was the alleged victim of a foiled kidnap plot.
In a statement she said: “This is such a difficult goodbye, you are incredible and I forever will be proud of what we’ve done together. I will not be returning to This Morning.
“Thank you to everyone at ITV for being supportive. To every guest who has sat on our sofa, thank you.
Her exit came towards the end of a tumultuous year on the daytime show following her co-host Phillip Schofield’s decision to step down in May, after he admitted to a relationship with a younger co-worker while he was married.
