Robert Irwin: I’m A Celebrity experience “exceeded all expectations”

Robert Irwin has reflected on his time on Channel 10 ‘s I’m A Celebrity...

Get Me Out Of Here! as “one of the most fun and unforgettable times in my life,” saying that the project “exceeded all expectations”. Having taken home the award for On-Screen Content – Talent at Mediaweek’s Next of the Best Awards , over the weekend Irwin was named a Gold Logie nominee for the 64th TV Week Logie Awards. Mediaweek caught up with Irwin to speak about his Next of the Best win and what the industry can expect from him next.

It is such an honour to be recognised amongst some of the best of the best in Australian entertainment. It means a lot for me and the message that is so intrinsic to what I do. My I’m a Celeb experience exceeded all expectations! It was one of the most fun and unforgettable times in my life.

I certainly felt fortunate to have Julia [Morris] right there showing me the ropes as I found a new passion for hosting. Plus, it took me back to one of my favourite places on earth, South Africa. I’ve been so humbled by the incredibly positive response to this season of I’m a Celebrity .

I hoped to bring a little bit of my passion for wildlife and conservation to this season, and it was so meaningful to hear how much audiences enjoyed that. Hopefully, we could create not only some hilarious moments but also showcase the beauty of the African wildlife. I aim to be a voice for positive change in the environmental space, and having a platform to spread my messag.
