Fans aren’t feeling quite as enthusiastic about the show, though.
“Oh not her again, there ARE other presenters!!!” moaned one. “Holly? Sorry, it’s a NO from me,” said another. A third then commented: “I was hoping this was Holly Willoughby would be dropped in the jungle….for good.” “If she’s in it I won’t be watching,” said another.
Another then declared: “That’s me cancelling Netflix.” Another commented: “Hard pass. Could you not have gotten someone other than Holly to present it though?”
Holly’s fans had her back, though, and a message for the haters.
“I’m sure she’ll be absolutely devastated to hear you won’t be watching,” said one replying to one of the trolls.
“This is gonna be awesome,” said another. A third then said: “Can’t wait to watch!”
Celebrity contestant revealed?
Several celebrities commented on the post, too, which led to some fans to wonder if they’ve signed up to appear.
Former Dancing On Ice star Jake Quickenden seemed pleased to hear about the show, as did Louis Smith and Will Mellor.
Louis said: “Wow this will be awesome.” Will added: “This sounds good!”
“I’m taking that as you’re on it,” one replied to Will.
With names yet to be announced, it’s a case of watch this space!
