Julia Morris doesn’t look like this anymore! TV star debuts a wild new hairstyle in I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! promo
Julia Morris has debuted a glamorous new look for her tenth season as host of Channel 10’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
For much of the past decade, Julia has sported a brunette bob and glasses while helming the reality series set in the South African jungle.
More recently, the household name shortened her hair to a cut that ends just above her ears and wide bangs that frame her face.
She also ditched her deep brunette locks by coloring her hair with gold highlights.
But on Tuesday, she debuted a dramatic new hairstyle in the first sneak peek of the upcoming season of I’m A Celeb, alongside her co-host Robert Irwin.

In the spirit of the jungle-themed ad, she also wore a pleated leopard print dress.

In the first look poster, Julia and Irwin grin and pose together against a photoshopped backdrop of the jungle, surrounded by cartoonish animals.

Irwin had a similar hairstyle and completely slicked back his blonde locks with gel.
Julia revealed she had been diagnosed with cancer in September when she bravely gave insight into her grueling treatment on social media.
For the better part of the past decade, Julia has sported a brunette bob and clear cat-eye glasses while helming the reality series in the South African jungle.

The I’m A Celebrity Australia host took to Instagram to share her diagnosis publicly for the first time, revealing she has undergone surgery.
She posted a confrontational photo of herself in hospital with a huge bandage over her face as she explained she had had a ‘quite large’ skin cancer removed.
Although the comedian put on a brave smile for the camera, she opened up about how one of her eyebrows was damaged by the surgery and warned fans about the importance of safety in the sun.
‘How are you doing at 50+? [SPF] work out for you? I wish I had used it more in my life. “I had another pretty major skin cancer removed this week,” she captioned the photo.
“I’m going to have to step up my eyebrow drawing game.
‘The Australian sun is no joke and although I lived like a pig on a spit in my twenties, I am definitely feeling the consequences now.
‘Please cut the slack and as always, early detection is key.’
A TV insider told Ny Breaking Australia that Julia, 55, feels pressure to ‘keep up with’ 20-year-old Robert’s natural banter, but rumors she was leaving IAC were unfounded
Ny Breaking Australia previously announced the show would not return last year.
According to an inside source, host Julia told a close friend that she wasn’t sure the show would happen again until Robert Irwin was introduced to the series.
The addition of The Wildlife Warrior to the reality TV show after former co-host Dr. Chris Brown had jumped to Channel Seven, giving the series new impetus.
“I think if Dr. Chris Brown and Julia Morris were still hosting ‘celeb’ it might be over, but the addition of Robert Irwin to the show has breathed new life into the show.
“The youngest Irwin really saved the show,” the source said.
“There are also many established fans who have supported this show over the years and I think being back in January is the right decision for the show and there are some great people behind the production of the show.”
Part of the push to keep I’m A Celeb on the air was also the failure of the Gladiators reboot, produced by Warner Bros.
After I’m A Celeb suffered a major ratings drop in 2022, Channel Ten moved it from its January primetime to April.
They replaced it with the Australian Gladiators reboot, which launched with high expectations but failed to maintain initial viewership.
The show, hosted by Beau Ryan and Liz Ellis, attracted a sizable summer audience of 395,000 metro viewers during its premiere.
Robert performed so well on the show that it earned him a nomination for the Gold Logie, and was quickly crowned Australia’s hottest TV talent, amid his impressive success as a top presenter.
Despite being a relative newcomer to Australian screens, he impressively knocked comedy veteran Hamish Blake from the number one spot in the Australian Talent Index’s 2024 Top Talent Report.
