Normally a big fan of Ant and Dec on Celebrity but I really miss Holly.

However, some have admitted they preferred the show when Holly was hosting and have shared their thoughts on Twitter.

One person said: “I’m saying it. Holly was better last year with Dec than Ant & Dec this year.”

A third added: “Normally a big fan of Ant and Dec on Celebrity but I really miss Holly, @hollywills at least she had compassion.”

However, others weren’t thrilled that Ant and Dec are back together.

One person said: “I’m so glad @antanddec are back together. I loved Holly but #ImACeleb just isn’t I’m a celeb with out them together.”

Another wrote: “I love Holly and she did great but… Ant and Dec together are just another level aren’t they.”
