I’m A Celebrity presenters Ant & Dec have revealed that they think 70 year old George Hamilton is ‘the one to watch’ on this year’s series.

“We’re both so excited the show’s started,” Dec told The Sun. “George Hamilton’s one we’ve got our eye on and we might have some fun with Kim Woodburn as well, but you never know with I’m A Celebrity.

Ant and Dec have issued an invitation to music mogul Simon Cowell to join this years series of I’m A Celebrity.

Ant told the Daily Star: ‘I’ll be having a word with the producers about getting Simon out to Australia this year for the show.

‘He clearly needs to give his career a boost. Now we’re getting paid more than him, Simon needs to up his profile. He’d be great in the jungle. But I reckon the snakes would be more scared of him than he would be of them.’

Dec added: ‘When we were filming Britain’s Got Talent and the news came out about our deal Simon was steaming. He hissed, “You’ve curdled my milk”. He was so unhappy.

‘The poor guy can’t bear the thought of anyone being paid more than him. We love winding him up.’
