Robert Irwin will bring real Hollywood star power to the South African jungle when he makes his debut as the new host of I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!
A-listers are reportedly keen to appear on the show thanks to their friendship with the handsome Wildlife Warrior, 20.
“The Irwins have more than their fair share of high-profile celebrities in their circle, including the Hemsworths and Melissa Joan Hart, who is this year's most rumored contestant,” a production insider told Yahoo! Lifestyle on Wednesday.
“There are some celebrities we ask every year, and maybe stars like Melissa or Jean-Claude Van Damme will finally say yes this year.” “It's our year to catch some of these beluga whales.”
Robert is no stranger to Hollywood's elite inner circle.

He appeared several times on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, mostly giving live demonstrations on how to handle animals.
Robert has also interviewed a number of famous actors – in 2020 he sat down with Robert Downey Jr. on the Today show to discuss the star's film Dolittle.
He also interviewed Shawn Mendes and Javier Bardem about their 2022 comedy Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile.

Back in October, Daily Mail Australia revealed that Robert will rake in nearly half a million dollars for his month-and-a-half excursion into the wilds of South Africa.
According to a well-informed source at Channel 10, Irwin will “earn over $430,000” from his six-week stay in the jungle and they believe he will be “worth every penny.”

Given Robert's magnetic appeal and the admiration he enjoys from fans around the world, the investment should pay off handsomely for the broadcaster.
“His collaboration with the funny and always entertaining Julia.” [Morris] “has all the makings of a dynamic duo and promises viewers an unforgettable experience,” the source said.
I'm a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! returns to television on March 27 on Channel 10.
