After some speculation, Channel 10 officially confirmed Robert Irwin and Julia Morris are returning hosts for the 2025 season of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! Australia and we couldn’t be more excited.
The next star-studded season premieres Sunday, 19 January 2025, but until then, let’s take a closer look at the wildly entertaining duo bringing the jungle to our screens.
Robert Irwin
Like his late father, Robert is a passionate conservationist and environmental advocate. He’s based at Australia Zoo in Queensland, where he lives and works with his family, who also manage the zoo’s non-profit charity, Wildlife Warriors.
At just 20, Robert’s wildlife photography has taken him across the globe, inspiring audiences with his reverence for nature. This year, his environmental efforts were recognised when Prince William named him a Global Ambassador for the Earthshot Prize.
During a recent appearance on The Project, where he discussed the upcoming season of I’m a Celeb, comedian co-host Sam Taunton even chided: ‘Will you get your mate Prince William in?’
“I was trying to give this under wraps a bit longer,” Robert replied jokingly (…we think!).
Of course, Robert’s TV career has also been absolutely thriving. He’s starred on the reality show Crikey! It’s the Irwins, is a regular guest on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, and has appeared on Celebrity Gogglebox, to name a few.
After a hugely successful debut hosting I’m a Celeb in 2024, taking over from Dr. Chris Brown, Robert is back for another round in 2025.
Reflecting on his new hosting role, Robert told Chattr earlier this year: “It feels like, in a way, my whole life has been training for this moment… Wrangling snakes and jumping on Crocs and jumping out of helicopters and all of that. It just feels right and the spice of life is trying something new.”
To top it all off, Robert’s growing stardom has earned him a Gold Logie nomination for Most Popular Personality on Australian Television at the 64th TV Week Logie Awards, along with the unveiling of his wax figure at Madame Tussauds Sydney!
Julia Morris
Julia, 56, is an Aussie TV legend with over 35 years in entertainment.
As Channel 10 reports, her career began at age 17 on New Faces, and from there it wasn’t long until she became a household name, starring in shows like Full Frontal and In Melbourne Tonight in the 90s.
She’s shared the stage with comedy greats like Whoopi Goldberg and Robin Williams, earning accolades including the Herald Angel Award and a Helpmann Award for Best Comedy. In 2011, Julia became Australia’s first Celebrity Apprentice winner, raising nearly $200,000 for breast cancer research.
In 2022, she was also nominated for the TV Week Gold Logie for Most Popular Personality on Australian Television.
Most recently, on the comedy front, Julia toured Australia with her show 75 Years in the Business in 2023, performing to sold-out audiences nationwide.
Somehow, she also found time to pen a book, releasing Julia Morris Makes It EASY as both an audiobook and paperback in 2021.
As a host, Julia took the reins for Australia’s Got Talent in 2013 and has been the face of I’m a Celeb since its premiere in 2015. And we can’t wait to see her back for her 10th season!
Julia recently shared a behind-the-scenes glimpse on her Insta for the upcoming season, posting: “Spectacular few days filming the [promo] on the mothership that is [Australia Zoo]. Had the best time and met a potential paramour in the meerkat enclosure.”
