Who will replace Dr. Chris Brown? Joel Creasey joins a galaxy in the race to become an I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here co-host! next to Julia Morris
Joel Creasey, Tim Campbell and Shane Crawford are just three of the personalities in the running to win Dr. Chris Brown as host of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! Australia.
The beloved vet is about to leave Channel 10 for rival Seven, ending his tenure alongside Julia Morris.
According to a post in the Announce sun this week, a number of artists have been named to possibly take over from the handsome TV star.
Joel Creasey was previously a contestant on the show and is being touted as a shoo-in for a potential role.
Darren McMullen, who is a main star on Ten with him previously presenting The Real Love Boat, has also been mentioned as a possibility.

Neighbors star Rob Mills, Dave Thornton and The Project’s Sam Taunton are also mentioned as possible hires.
Chris and his co-star Julia Morris are known to be friends off screen, and she recently praised him in TV Week magazine during his farewell.
“Life is life, and we roll with it. Luckily we have a close friendship so it hasn’t rocked the boat,” she said.

Julia also revealed how Dr Chris broke the news to her about his move to Channel Seven.
They were shooting the dance promotion for the new season of I’m a Celebrity when he said, “Hey, can I bend your ear?”
She joked that at first she thought he was going to ask her out, only to reveal that he was leaving the show and Channel Ten.

“I thought, ‘Finally, here we go. He’s going to ask me out.’ There was a step, a turn, a dip and then, well…” she said.
Dr. Chris announced his departure from Ten in February after 15 years with the network.
He first joined Ten in 2008 to host Bondi Vet which became a surprise hit and was syndicated around the world.
The actual series was based on his practical experience as a veterinarian at Bondi Junction Veterinary Hospital in Sydney’s east.

He became a part-time panelist on The Project and also co-hosted I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! and The Living Room, which was axed last year.
The move to Seven is like a homecoming for Dr. Chris.
He began his TV career in 2003 as the host of Harry’s Practice on Seven, a role that earned him a Logie nomination for Most Popular New Talent.
Dr. Chris (pictured with James Warburton, CEO of Seven West Media) has signed a deal with Seven and will be joining the company in July to produce ‘new projects’ for Channel Seven and 7Plus
