Dec, 49, has presented I’m A Celebrity with his long-time presenting partner Ant McPartlin, 48, since the series inception in 2002.

The pair have since gone on to host a number of entertainment shows, such as Saturday Night Takeaway and Ant and Dec‘s Limitless Win.

But following the long flight from London, the TV personality touched down in Oz, ready for the 24th instalment of the hit jungle show.

He was seen looking casual and in a white t-shirt with black Ray-Ban sunglasses.

The star kept it low-key as he stepped out in and navy trousers and matching blue trainer shoes as he covered his eyes.

A green satchel bag full of post-travel essentials rested over his belly as he strode through the streets with his partner.

Talent Manager Ali, 45, also cut a laid-back figure as she stepped out in a netted beige polo shirt.

She also wore trousers but opted for comfy flat sandals as she supported her husband on his work trip.

Together, they shopped for more essential items such as bottles of water before Dec reported to the studio for his hosting duties.

The couple were later spotted out for breakfast with their two children, Isla and Jack.

Ant and Dec will have a slightly different start to the series this year as bosses made a major change to the starting challenges.

ITV execs previously made the decision to axe Walk the Plank, which saw the famous faces suspended 314ft over the Brisbane coastline.

It was the campmates’ first challenge before they made their way to the infamous campsite.

Although producers decided to change things up, they will be replacing it with a new task – which they insist is just as scary.
