Australia Zoo’s very own Robert Irwin has been announced as the new co-host of popular TV show I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here!
The wildlife warrior will join Julia Morris for the Network Ten show’s 10th season, replacing Dr Chris Brown, who has joined Channel Seven.
“It’s a huge honour to be the new co-host of I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here!” Irwin said.
“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!”
A Network Ten statement said the 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.
“Sure, he can tame crocodiles, but how will Robert go taming a camp full of hangry celebrities?” it said.
Morris said she was delighted at the opportunity to work alongside Irwin.
“I am absolutely overjoyed by the appointment of my spectacular new co-host, Robert Irwin,” she said.
“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.”
