Revealing the "windy" conditions that led to his injury, Dommett posted a picture on Instagram (mid-stitches!) where he confirmed his reason for not presenting the show, adding he would be back on duty – with co-hosts Scarlett Moffatt and Joe Swash – tomorrow.
"To be honest I'm less worried about my health and more worried that the show will be better without me," he joked to his followers. "Half a day off school to go home and watch Neighbours."

I'm a Celebrity has also confirmed TV's worst kept secret – that TV legend Noel Edmonds will be the latest addition to the line-up, joining the ten contestants currently braving the jungle. His appearance will be teased at the end of Wednesday 21st November's episode.
