Ant and Dec

As former Hollyoaks actress Stephanie Davis is forced to quit the jungle – over a potentially fatal nut allergy – I'm A Celebrity bosses are desperately scrambling to secure some alternative big names for the reality TV show.

And it seems they've succeeded: signing a cheque for a cool €280,000 they've managed to rope in none other than former professional boxer Chris Eubank. 

“We have been struggling to attract big names in the older celebrity world, so we are delighted to have secured Chris.

“Chris is not a man known to mince his words, and he often comes out with bizarre rants, making him an ideal candidate for I’m A Celebrity," a source told The Sun.

They added: “His eccentricity will be something to behold – especially when he is hungry and deprived of sleep as campmates always are in the jungle."

Other names thought to be lined up for the reality show include Dragon’s Den investor Duncan Bannatyne, TOWIE star Ferne McCann, Made In Chelsea’s Spencer Matthews and X Factor choreographer Brian Friedmann.

Earlier this week, soap star Stephanie Davis, 22, confirmed on Twitter that although she had secured a place on the show, it was subsequently revealed that a nut allergy that could prove fatal.

Understandably, Stephanie has been left gutted that she can no longer take part.

They’ve represented Ireland not once but twice at the Eurovision Song Contest: in both 2011 and 2012, when they finished eighth and 19th respectively.

But now Jedward are hoping it will be third-time lucky for their unique double act: they’re going for European glory once again next year.

And this time they want to perform on behalf of the UK.

With the BBC making a rule change which allows the public to nominate an entry – the 23-year-old Dublin twins reckon next year will be their year.

Indeed, during a chat with Mirror Online, Edward admitted it’s a “fantastic opportunity” for them.

Furthermore, the former X Factor contestants say they are currently in talks with TV producers to launch their own reality show, and revealed that they want to become a presenting partnership powerhouse like Ant and Dec.

We can’t wait!

Television presenter and one half of the comedy duo Ant and Dec, Declan Donnelly married his fiancé Ali Astall in Newcastle earlier today 

The pair were all smiles for the crowsds that gathered to wish them well as they emerged from St. Micheal's Roman Catholic Church in Elswick, Newcastle. 

They stepped out hand in hand and shared a romantic kiss beneath the church's arched doorway. The lavish flowers that decorated the arch were admired by the hundreds of fans that had come along to celebrate the couple's big day. 

39-year old Declan arrived at the ceremony in a very fancy Aston Matin Vanquish Carbon and was driven by best man Ant McPartlin. The pair were setting some serious BFF goals today as they wore matching suits to the big event. The bright blue colour went very nicely with their dark shades as the sun came out much to everyone's delight.

Ali, 36, is also Dec's manager. She arrived via Rolls Royce in a stunning ivory gown with an open back complimented with simple veil. She certainly turned heads in her beautiful dress as she stopped outside to give a wave to those waiting for a glimpse of the pair on their way into the ceremony. 

Dec's older brother Dermott officiated the ceremony, which took place in the same church that their grandfather Alphonsus' funeral took place in previously. 

Among those fans in the crowd were some that had travelled quite a long way hoping to spot some of the many celebs on their way to the ceremony. 65-year old Sheena Greeves travelled from Scotland and told The Mirror:

"I'm from Derry where his mammy and daddy are from. We came from Scotland, my grandson wants to be little Dec. We're big fans."

Other famous faces expected to be at the wedding today included Tess Daly, Vernon Kay, Fearne Cotton, Holly Willoughby, Leigh Francis, former Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts, Philip Schofield, Paddy McGuinness and Andi Peters. Quite the guest list!

Congratulations to the happy couple.

We've had a soft spot for Ant and Dec ever since their SMTV days, so we can't help feeling all warm and fuzzy inside when one of them has good news to share!

Declan Donnelly, one half of the famous presenting duo, popped the question to girlfriend Ali Astall over the weekend…. and she said yes!

The couple are Australia as Ant and Dec prepare for the new series of I'm A Celebrity… so no doubt there were lots of excited phone calls made to family back home!

Ali has joined her man for his month-long stay Down Under.

39-year-old Dec has been seeing his fiancée for a year and a half, and is apparently "head over heels in love," according to a friend. "Dec soon realised that the he’d met the girl he wanted to spend the rest of his life with and felt ready to settle down," the insider revealed.

The pair are old friends – Ali has been the presenting duo's talent manager for over a decade. Wow! 

Speaking about the relationship earlier this year, Dec admitted there had always been a great connection between them both.  "I think we’ve always been attracted to each other but it has always been that thing of we work together," he said. 

"This is the first time we’ve given it a try."

Ali has already moved into the presenter's London home, and the couple even have a dog together.

Despite having only been engaged for a few days, the lovebirds have already started thinking about a wedding date. "They’re keen to start a family and want to get hitched next year," said the source.

Best buddy Ant, who married his partner Lisa Armstrong back in 2006, is set to be the best man. We wonder if they'll whip out one of their old PJ and Duncan routines at the wedding reception!
