Declan Donnelly is braving a long haul flight with his two-month-old daughter, as he heads out to Australia to kick off filming for Im A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!

Looking like one proud dad, the 43-year-old scooped the little one up in his arms before heading off to Heathrow Airport.

Dec couldnt wipe the smile off his face as he cosied into his baby girl, who was resting her little head on his shoulder.

The star had made sure the tot was all wrapped up, as she looked adorable in a pink baby-grow and grey blanket.

Dec was joined by his wife Ali, who is also going to be travelling to Australia with her family.

Both Ali and Dec appeared to be in high spirits as they said goodbye to their loved ones in the car park.

This year, Dec will be joined by Holly Willoughby as his Im A Celeb co-host, as she will be filling in for Ant McPartlin while he finishes his treatment.

The This Morning presenter has already left England for Australia after treating her kids to a Five Guys shake.

She too will be taking her family with her, as she revealed all three of her children and her husband were planning on staying Down Under.

She spoke about her excitement to have Holly on board, and how relieved she is to have another girl around.

I think it will be really fun and Im really excited because shes never been over or seen it.

Its going to be exciting watching her see everything for the first time, especially the smells because nothing prepares you for the smells.
