Robert Irwin to co-host I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

Veterinarian and former I'm a Celebrity host Dr Chris Brown has left the survival show, and the network, to host Dancing With The Stars on Channel Seven.

Mr Irwin, son of the late crocodile hunter Steve Irwin, will depart from his family's beloved Australia Zoo in Beerwah, Queensland to join Ms Morris in the "unpredictable wilds" of South Africa for the show's tenth season.

"I can't wait to plunge back into the incredible African jungle and introduce our celebrities to the magnificent wildlife that call the jungle home," he said.
