TV favourite Declan Donnelly will bid an emotional final goodbye to his beloved brother before flying off to film I'm a Celebrity.
The funeral of Father Dermott Donnelly, who died aged 55, will be held on Friday in Newcastle.
Dec's TV partner and best pal Ant 7 McPartlin plus dozens of relatives from his parents' native Ireland are expected to attend the ceremony.
They will be joined by priests and clerics from across the North East, where Fr Dermott served for 30 years in the Catholic church.
