The presenters for Channel 10’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! Australia have been confirmed after reports suggested Bindi Irwin could become the host. together with her younger brother Robert.
Conservationist Robert Irwin, 20, wowed fans when he co-hosted the show this year with long-time presenter Julia Morris, 56.
The network will officially announce the 2025 lineup during its annual Upfronts presentation on Monday.
Ny Breaking Australia can confirm that Julia and Robert will return to the South African jungle next year.
A Ten insider told Ny Breaking Australia: ‘Stylists and make-up artists have been booked and the duo have been rehearsing their dialogue, which will take centre stage – as Network Ten has a number of surprises in their line-up for next year.
‘The double nomination for Gold Logie for these two was the decisive factor for them.’
According to the insider, Julia was unsure for a long time whether the show would return, but she happily told friends that she has the show back on the schedule in 2025.
However, there were some concerns about securing Robert for the series, with the Queensland native requesting two months off from Australia Zoo to reprise his starring role in the celebrity series.

“There was a lot of back and forth to get the contract right and there have been a few requests from movie stars that prove this is not just any TV presenter,” the insider adds.
But the deal was the right decision for the youngest Irwin to return to South Africa for another wild series with Julia.
“The opportunity to put Julia back with Robert was something the network couldn’t afford as a one-time thing,” the source said.
‘Network Ten doesn’t have anyone else to be the face of the network and these two know how to sell a whole range of programming to media buyers and advertisers, which is why the two have signed a contract to launch the network’s plans in 2025.’

Everyone wants to host I’m A Celebrity and rumour has it that Dr Chris Brown regrets handing over the reins and moving to Channel Seven.
Chris signed a two-year contract with Seven worth more than $1 million a year, in line with his contractual obligations for I’m A Celebrity with his former network.

Channel 10’s upfronts are expected to feature a number of shock and surprise announcements, including the return of a beloved reality series that left TV screens in 2024.
“The Taskmasters team will also be there, as well as the return of another reality show that was missing last year,” the source confirms.
Casting for I’m A Celebrity is officially underway and the team at ITV Studios Australia have already secured some of the big stars they’ve been eyeing for years.
Amid Robert’s huge success, rumours previously circulated that Terri was pushing for Bindi, 26, to join the franchise as Robert’s co-host in 2025 – which Channel 10 has since denied.
An insider told Ny Breaking Australia last month: ‘I think someone at Ten is looking at how they can guarantee that I’m A Celebrity will be back for the next 10 years, so there is a possibility that the Irwins could take over the celebrity competition completely.’
Mum Terri, who runs Australia Zoo with her two children, would like to see Bindi co-host with Robert to give the reality show a ‘refresh’.
“Terri would have more control over the show and this would be an exciting brand renewal,” the source said.
“The Irwins are eager to bring their passion and positivity to the show and raise awareness for our natural world.”
