Robert Irwin Shuts Down Solo Hosting Rumors For 'I'M A Celeb'

Robert Irwin Addresses Hosting Speculations

Popular conservationist and Gold Logie nominee Robert Irwin isn't swinging from the vines of 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!' yet, but the rumor mill is buzzing about his potential return. The chatter began swirling shortly after Network 10 dropped the bombshell that the show, which had a robust 12-season run, wouldn't be renewed past 2026.

Julia Morris Gives Her Blessing

Julia Morris, who co-hosted the series, shared her hope with TV WEEK that the show would find a new home someday. "I rang him when it all went down and said: 'I know you don’t need it but, if the show went somewhere else with someone different, I’m aware I’m not everyone’s cup of tea," she revealed. "I said, 'Your message [of conservation] is more important than my ego so, please, go forth.'"

Channel Seven's Surprise Move

In what seemed like a twist of fate, Channel Seven swooped in and picked up the rights, planning to air the show in 2027. Naturally, this sparked a flurry of questions about who would host the revived series. Would Robert make a solo leap, or would Julia join him for another jungle adventure?

Irwin's Heartfelt Response

Dispelling the solo rumors, Robert expressed his sentiments in a candid chat with TV WEEK. "Honestly, my experience with I’m A Celebrity is really defined by Julia," he said. "It’s probably the biggest reason I decided to do it and it was my favourite part of the experience. To me, I’m a Celeb and Julia Morris are synonymous. You can’t have one without the other."

So it seems, despite the network switch, this dynamic duo might just stick together. After all, it’s a jungle out there – literally!

Upcoming Events

Meanwhile, Robert is also gearing up to host The 66th TV WEEK Logie Awards, set to air on August 16 on Channel Seven and 7plus. Fans can cast their votes for their favorite shows or stars, adding another layer of excitement to the television landscape.
