Insider spills on Robert Irwin's plans for I'm a Celeb
Robert Irwin received rave reviews for his co-hosting skills alongside Julia Morris on this year's I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here, but an insider has claimed that he won't be returning for another season.
"His easygoing and faultless live TV skills have won over the nation. But his career at Ten will only be short-lived, and he is heading back to Seven," a source told Woman's Day.
The negotiation is believed to have been orchestrated by the ultimate "mumager" Terri Irwin.
"The Irwins are very smart when it comes to negotiations," the insider added.
The source also claimed that Robert's decision to join I'm a Celebrity was seen as a one-off opportunity to elevate his television profile - which he has achieved after bringing fresh energy into the show.
Channel Seven is reportedly keen to welcome Robert back with a massive deal, according to the source.
"Seven want Robert back and have thrown a king's ransom at him," they said.
If the deal goes through, Julia Morris will have to find a new partner to head to the jungle with.
Many fans have praised Robert for bringing some fun into the jungle.
"I have not ever been keen on watching this show but Robert you have brought some class and good honest fun to the jungle. Thank you," one fan wrote under a clip of the show's grand finale that Robert posted on his Instagram.
"How awesome was Robert? This gig was like it was made for him. What a natural," another added.
"Best year of I'm a Celebrity, and it was because you added something to the show as Co-Host. Brilliant job for somebody with no experience but with a lot to give," commented a third.
