Robert Irwin reveals a shocking career change as bizarre opportunity opens up ahead of his I’m A Celebrity Australia hosting debut

Robert Irwin has decided to expand on his heart throb persona and dive head first into the fashion model industry. 

The Wildlife Warrior, 20, who will soon make his debut as the new host for I’m A Celebrity Australia alongside Julia Morris, revealed his ‘career change’ on Thursday.

Flaunting his fashionable style sense, the celebrity conservationist will take to the catwalk during Melbourne Fashion Week festival next month, reported Herald Sun.

‘It’s only fair I begin my runway career with a style icon,’ Irwin said, revealing he will be walking alongside his soon-to-be co-host Julia.

‘I’m referred to in the family as the fashionable Irwin – khaki is what I’m most comfortable in but I can rock the colour. It’s a vibe.’

The network had a hard task replacing popular host Dr Chris Brown, with casting impressed with Robert’s natural charm in the audition.

According to reports, A-listers are ‘desperate’ to appear on the show thanks to their friendship with the handsome Wildlife Warrior.

‘The Irwins have more than a fair share of A-list celebrities in their circle including the Hemsworths and Melissa Joan Hart, who is the most rumoured contestant this year,’ a production insider told Yahoo! Lifestyle.

‘There are some celebs we ask every year and maybe this year stars like Melissa or Jean-Claude Van Damme will finally say yes. It’s our year to catch a few of those white whales.’
