Julia Morris has been hit with diva rumors once again, according to I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here sources! Australia reveals that a recent budget cut has caused some “major crises.”

The comedian, 56, who has presented the star-studded series since its debut in 2015, is said to be furious that her “backstage requests” have been halved.

Insiders who work closely with the show told Daily Mail Australia that the TV presenter had to “give up her luxuries” to stay on budget this year.

“The upcoming series of I’m A Celebrity has faced some setbacks due to ‘budget issues’ and everyone has been hit by belt-tightening,” a Network Ten source said.

‘Let’s just say that some people known for their previous demands were not happy.

“Ten doesn’t have the budget it once had and some long-standing crew members and Julia Morris have noted that season 11 is far from the “big-budget production” it once was.”

A former producer of the series said the money spent “lavishing” hosts Julia Morris and Dr. Chris Brown (who has since been replaced by Robert Irwin) and “attracting” celebrities to I’m A Celebrity in its early years ‘was pretty ridiculous’.

“That era was before streaming platforms started cannibalizing free networks,” they added.

When I’m a Celeb began, Dr. Chris Brown and Julia Morris were living lives completely opposite to those of ‘celebrities’ in “the jungle” and that was done on purpose.

“It was hilarious seeing Julia with perfect hair and nails in the salon and wearing different designer dresses each night, while people like Chrissie Swan and Shane Warne would rot in camp.

‘Wearing the same clothes and desperately needing a toothbrush! That juxtaposition was perfectly curated.”

Another casting producer said hosting I’m A Celebrity was once “one of the most sought after gigs in the history of Australian television”.

“That all changed when ITV Studios Australia received half the budget they were used to for this upcoming series,” they alleged.

‘(The 2025 season) will be hugely affected and that hasn’t gone well.

The comedian, 56, who has presented the star-studded series since its debut in 2015, is said to be furious that her “backstage requests” have been halved.

“Julia has had her backstage requests cut in half and that hasn’t been an easy conversation for producers who are used to treating the longtime host like a queen,” the source added.

They went on to say that the “mantra” on the set of the popular reality TV series is that if the show continues, then “everyone on board has to give up their luxuries.”

The source said: “However, I don’t think Julia was aware that some of those usual sweeteners were removed.”

“The extras to keep Julia happy during the filming of the annual series have practically dried up and I don’t think this is the dream job it once was.”

Another former producer commented, “I would venture to say that the people who have been on this show since day one will be the ones throwing the biggest tantrums.”

Daily Mail Australia has contacted Julia and Network Ten for further comment.

This is not the first time internal claims have surfaced about Julia’s alleged ‘diva’ behavior on the set of I’m A Celebrity Australia.

The media personality is said to have clashed with the series’ producers before former co-presenter Dr Chris, 46, left for a Channel Seven gig in 2023.

Inside sources who work closely with the show told Daily Mail Australia on Wednesday that the TV presenter had to “give up her luxuries” to stay within this year’s budget. Pictured with former co-host Dr. Chris Brown.

Sources told Daily Mail Australia in March 2024 that Julia would throw tantrums on set if she didn’t get her way, causing tensions between the two stars.

And a source claimed there were times when Dr. Chris was asked to host segments of the show on his own when Julia refused to leave the trailer.

“Julia used to throw tantrums on set if she didn’t get her way,” the source said.

‘One day in particular he refused to return to set unless he pulled off a pretty dark “feather prank.”

“Let Dr. Chris be asked to continue alone if the debate is not resolved.”

They went on to say that Julia’s tantrums may not “be so easy to hide” with Chris’ replacement host Robert Irwin taking her place in 2023.

“If Julia acts like a child again and lets a 20-year-old pick up the pieces, it probably won’t be so easy to hide,” the source said.

Chris was supposedly very tolerant of Julia and her quirks, and was seen as the key ingredient to delivering her dynamic work on the Channel Ten show.

“Julia has had her backstage requests cut in half and that hasn’t been an easy conversation for producers who are used to treating the longtime host like a queen,” the source said.

However, Julia was said to have been “disappointed” when Chris decided to leave her award-winning series to present Seven’s new rival show Dream House.

“(Chris) was quite disappointed to learn that Julia had publicly addressed her departure,” the source added.

‘That was not how he saw their relationship and it has certainly impacted the progression of their friendship.

“In fact, it has highlighted some old wounds from their time together over these nine years.”
