Sam Pang addresses rumours he is replacing Dr Chris Brown as host on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!
Sam Pang confirmed he is not replacing Dr Chris Brown as host of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! during Monday’s episode of Have You Been Paying Attention?
Host Tom Gleisner put Sam on the spot during the Channel 10 quiz show, asking the popular star whether he was a fan of the hit reality show.
‘A lot of my friends are on that show and host that show, so I want to be diplomatic and say “no”,’ Sam joked. ‘Obviously, it seems unlikely.
‘I’ve gone off South Africa ever since they ended apartheid.’
Tom then asked Pang about rumours he was going to jump ship to Channel Seven as he prepares to host the Logies.

Brown is the former host of the popular Channel 10 show
‘Just to confirm, no truth to the rumour?’ he asked.
‘None!’ Sam confirmed.
It comes after insiders have alleged Seven is attempting to woo Sam after he was announced host of the network’s Logies broadcast later this month.
Sam was rumoured to have been offered $1million to stay on with the embattled network.
I’m a Celebrity… host Julia Morris told Yahoo Lifestyle! that the show will go in a ‘completely different way’ following the departure of her co-host Brown (both pictured)
‘First Seven took Dr. Chris, and now they trying to win over Sam,’ a TV insider told New Idea this week.
‘They believe he could become their biggest name.
‘Talents like Sam don’t come along every day, so pockets are deep for what could be one of the biggest signings in TV history.’
Channel 10 has already lost several high-profile stars, including Carrie Bickmore, Peter van Onselen and Lisa Wilkinson, amid management upheavals and woeful ratings.
