Caroline Flack is to become the new host of I'm A Celebrity's spin-off show, it has been reported. Caroline - who once dated Prince Harry - will replace former show winner Matt Willis and his wife Emma Griffiths on ITV2's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! Now when it returns in November. She will host the show from the jungle base in Queensland, Australia, while Ant and Dec host the main show. The London studio element of the show, hosted by Mark Durden-Smith, will apparently be scrapped. Caroline told The Sun: "I have been a huge fan of I'm A Celebrity since it began and I'm really looking forward to presenting the ITV2 show. "It's always been my favourite reality programme and I can't wait to get all the gossip out of this year's celebrities when they come out of the jungle." An insider said: "Caroline is perfect for the job as she's bubbly and enthusiastic." She has previously fronted Gladiators, Big Brother's Big Mouth and kids' show TMI.
