Robert Irwin, Julia Morris spill the secrets ahead of 'I'm A Celebrity' premiere

Bindi Irwin’s brother Robert Irwin and Julia Morris recently got candid and opened up about I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! ahead of the new season.

While having a conversation with Mediaweek to share their insights on what viewers can expect from the show and what changes it will bring, Julia quipped, “Over the years, it’s become more and more appointment TV for families.”

The 56-year-old TV presenter and actress stated, “There’s so few shows where multiple generations can sit down together and have a laugh, and certainly, as a parent of teenagers, I am constantly trying to find things that we can actually sit down together and enjoy.”

“This is the one time where I can actually get all the kids and the grandparents and everyone to sit down and watch it and laugh,” the Celebrity Googlebox Australia star mentioned.

Moving forward, Robert also shed light on his role as a wildlife conversationalist.

He articulated “My whole life has been about wildlife conservation and trying to spread that message to as many people as possible in a really universal way that doesn’t feel like you’re getting lectured on the taxonomy of a species of animal, it feels like you’re accidentally learning something.”

“At the end of the day, that’s what I’m A Celebrity does so well, it’s about having fun, it’s about having a laugh and it’s about the entertainment,” the 21-year-old noted.

The Growing Up Wild star also went on to discuss the challenges of filming in the deep African jungle.

He said, “We have to factor in extra time getting to set because of unpredictable wildlife like hippos crossing the road or baboons in the middle of the crosswalk.

“The production delays and challenging elements are due to the fact that we are truly in the middle of the jungle. That’s the authenticity of the show. Our safety briefings are very different from typical productions—it’s about being cautious of the hippos, crocodiles, and cobras around us, not so much the proper way to use a ladder,” Robert concluded by highlighting.

It is significant to mention that I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! is set to premiere on 10 and 10 Play on Sunday, January 19, 2024.
