Brittany Hockley, the host of The Pick Up on the KIIS Network and iHeart’s podcast Life Uncut is the first celebrity confirmed to be joining the 10th season of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! on Channel 10. The season kicks off Sunday 24 March at 7:30 pm.
To find out who of the three was the most likely to survive in the jungle, Britt, Laura and Mitch from The Pick Up participated in a number of challenges on-air. After taking a jungle themed quiz and partaking in a fear challenge involving a ‘creepy crawly’, Britt was deemed as the most likely to take home the highly coveted crown of Queen of the Jungle.
After months of anticipation, this season will see wildlife warrior Robert Irwin packing his bags for South Africa to join the Jungle Queen, Julia Morris, as co-host for the 10th season of the show.
Having left Network 10 for rival Network Seven, Dr Chris Brown left a vet-sized hole in the hosting lineup of I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here!.
Enter Irwin – a passionate conservationist, zookeeper, photographer, presenter, and son of Steve Irwin – who will swap Australia Zoo for the wilds of Africa to run the latest crop of celebrities through their paces.
I’m A Celeb executive producer Tamara Simoneau told Mediaweek that Irwin brings truckloads of energy to everything that he does.
“The press tour he’s been doing with Julia, his energy just springs off the screen, and he is just who he appears to be,” she said.
“I feel Australia really knows him, and knows he isn’t faking his sincerity or personality. Having him on board is exciting because it makes the whole show feel like it’s got this first-series energy around it.”
