After months of speculation, Network 10 has announced that wildlife warrior Robert Irwin is packing his bags for South Africa and will join the Jungle Queen, Julia Morris, as co-host for the 10th season of I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here!.
Irwin – a passionate conservationist, zookeeper, photographer, and presenter – will swap Australia Zoo for the wilds of Africa to run the latest crop of celebrities through their paces.
Robert Irwin said: “It’s a huge honour to be the new co-host of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!. I can’t wait to plunge back into the incredible African jungle and introduce our celebrities to the magnificent wildlife that call the jungle home.
“Most of all, I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to work alongside the incredibly kind and talented Julia Morris. Crikey! This is going to be a wild ride!”
Julia Morris said: “I am absolutely overjoyed by the appointment of my spectacular new co-host, Robert Irwin. Audiences will be peaking at how much fun we have in store. You might think Robert and I are an unlikely duo, but it turns out we’re a magical combination! Season 10, here we come!”
In February, it was announced that previous I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here! co-host, Dr Chris Brown would be leaving Network 10 to join rival network Seven.
Brown started his TV career with Seven on Harry’s Practice two decades ago.
