Of landing the job, Robert gushed that he felt “honored” to host alongside Julie and described it as a “coming full circle” moment.
He also told how he decided to take the job to continue the legacy of his famous father Steve Irwin, who tragically passed away when Robert was just three years old.
“I love having a real purpose and a legacy that I can carry on from my family, and my father in particular, and being able to create my own: of wildlife conservation, of fun, of passion and positivity,” she said.
“And no show does it better than I’m a Celebrity when it comes to fun, family and positivity, let’s give it a try.” Plus, all the contestants work for a charity.

“The only thing I thought, ‘hmm, I have to change this,’ was eating African wildlife… I’m a conservationist at heart,” he said on KIIS FM’s The Kyle and Jackie O Show.
“They’ve changed it, so we’re just doing the cow, the chicken, the fish and the roach… but it’s cool because we can really take this to a whole new level.”
Robert went on to reveal that Australia Zoo “does a lot of conservation work in Africa” and thought the new season was a chance to “celebrate” wildlife.
The celebrity roster for the 2024 series of I’m A Celebrity Australia, which launches on March 24, has yet to be revealed, but fans have already been speculating about who might enter the jungle.
