It was recently confirmed that Robert Irwin would be joining Julia Morris as co-host on the new season of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! after Chris Brown quit.
And on Monday, Channel 10 didn’t hold back as they introduced the wildlife warrior as the new co-host in a campy all-singing, all dancing first-look trailer.
The trailer begins with Julia sitting on a golden throne in the jungle on the phone with a list of requirements on what her new co-host must meet.
‘Haha, yes… well he has to be blond and funny, actually an interest in animals might be refreshing,’ she teases while smirking at the camera.
The 20-year-old is then seen channeling his inner Tarzan as he swings into shot.

‘Did somebody say wildlife expert?’ he asks, while holding a plush crocodile.
‘Just think of what we could do, Remember I was born in Australia Zoo, I may be only 20, But I come from wildlife royalty,’ he then sings.
‘I speak snake, and I speak spiders. I’ve had my shots for hepatitis,’ he goes on before flaunting his biceps.

‘I’ve got bloody truckloads of enthusiasm,’ he continues, to which a reluctant Julia says, ‘We’re going to have to do something about that fashion’.
Irwin’s khaki outfit then transforms into a dapper blue suit.
‘This is where I’m meant to be, this job is my destiny,’ he concludes before Morris finally caves in and says, ‘You had me at wildlife’.

Back in October, Daily Mail Australia revealed that the wildlife warrior is set to pocket almost half a million dollars for his month-and-a-half-long foray into the wilds of South Africa.
According to a well placed source at Channel 10, Irwin ‘will earn over $430,000’ from his six-week stint in the jungle, and they think he will be ‘worth every cent’.
Given Robert’s magnetic appeal and the adoration he commands from fans around the globe, the investment is poised to pay off handsomely for the network.
‘His pairing with the witty and ever-entertaining Julia [Morris] has all the makings of a dynamic duo, promising viewers an unforgettable experience,’ said the source.
I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! returns to TV on March 27 on Channel 10.
