Ian ‘Dicko’ Dickson takes a stab at the ‘creaky’ Australian Idol reboot after he was eliminated from the judging panel – joining I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!

It was previously reported that he felt snubbed after being left out of the judging panel on a re-run of Australian Idol on Channel 7.

And Ian Deco Dixon, 60, has been given a severe stab at the singing competition as he prepares to star in a different reality show, I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! , this week.

said the English-born music executive, who was a member of the original jury between 2003 and 2004. News.com.au On Sunday, the recently wrapped reboot fails to recreate the essence of what made the original show such a success.

‘It felt a little difficult. The production values ​​felt really weak and the vocals just didn’t inspire me. They have to set the racers on a high level and I don’t think they have.

Deco added that, after not starring in reality TV since his stint on Australia’s Got Talent in 2016, it was the ‘believe’ I’m a Celebrity that convinced him to sign up.

“You’re really in the camp. You’re really covered in horrible bugs. And you really have to get along with some unknown influencer who might get you kudos,” he said.

Deco was a judge on Australian Idol from 2003 to 2004 alongside Mark Holden and Marcia Hines, before defecting to the Channel Seven competition from 2005 to 2006.

He went on to host Seven’s Australian Celebrity Survivor and the second season of My Kitchen Rules, as well as take part in Dancing with the Stars.
