As you may know, the new series of 'I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here' kicked off last night, and hosts Ant & Dec were in fine fettle as they returned to the jungle for more ridiculous antics.
Of course, for a while it seemed that perhaps the presenting duo would not be part of the new series, as Ant McPartlin sought treatment for his addiction problems over the summer.
Like any best buddies and professional partners, however, they were capable of a fair bit of banter about the whole situation and Dec got a few good-natured jibes in at his colleague's expense.
The show opened with Dec joking: "I’m here with the gorgeous Holly Willoughby… Wait, no! Guys that’s the wrong script!’ before telling Ant: "No one was sure if you would make it or not."

Absolutely love the way @antanddec aren’t shying away from the issues Ant has had and being able to laugh about it, breaking the stigma and not hiding away mental health issues is an important thing to do, well done lads #ImACeleb

Dec bantering ant about the whole rehab & addiction situation is probably the best thing to have happened tonight. He is literally continuing to end the stigma & add light to a dark situation #imaceleb

Ant and Dec are taking the most British approach to addressing Ant's rehab stint, aren't they? We're not perfect but we really can make a joke out of anything... #imaceleb
