Robert Irwin set to land huge role as he shapes up to become the most sought-after TV star in Australia

by

Robert Irwin is currently a very popular figure on Australian television, and reports suggest that multiple networks are competing to sign him to an exclusive deal.

According to reports, Channel Ten is preparing to feature the popular personality as the host of a new version of Australian Ninja Warrior. This is part of a larger effort to secure his involvement in several of their key programs.

According to a source at Daily Mail, Robert is a valuable asset for Ten right now. The network hopes the 22-year-old conservationist will work on projects beyond just ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’

‘He’s relatable, he’s got that natural charm and audiences absolutely love him.’

Talks are reportedly happening behind closed doors, and the network is eager to have the Wildlife Warrior become a prominent personality on Channel Ten.

According to a source, there’s strong interest in acquiring him. If these negotiations are successful, Robert will become a highly valuable asset for them.

It appears other networks are also interested, and some of Ten’s main rivals are already trying to recruit the popular star.

Sources say Seven Network wants Robert to host the Australian version of Dancing With The Stars, after he won the US show.

Oh my gosh, I heard from someone who knows that Seven is absolutely convinced he’s the one! They seriously believe he could totally revolutionize ‘Dancing With The Stars’ and bring it into a whole new era. I’m telling you, he’s going to be HUGE!

DWTS Australia is currently being hosted by Sonia Kruger and Dr Chris Brown. 

Robert is considering several job offers, and those close to him say he’s having a hard time deciding which one to accept.

According to a source close to the situation, he’s a very loyal person, but the two options available to him are quite different. They believe he would be successful in either one.

Network Ten is reportedly preparing alternative options in case Robert receives a more appealing offer and decides not to host the new version of Ninja Warrior.

Sources suggest Beau Ryan is a strong contender for a role, seen as a reliable choice thanks to his background in sports and experience hosting The Amazing Race Australia.

As young talents like Robert Irwin become more popular, should they remain with the TV channel that helped launch their career, or seek out potentially more rewarding opportunities on other networks?

What’s your view?

According to a source, Beau is reliable and has experience connecting with audiences. However, Robert is the clear frontrunner for the role.

Oh my gosh, you will NOT believe this! Apparently, the people at Ten are absolutely freaking out – in a good way! – because Robert is blowing up on ‘I’m A Celebrity!’ They’re doing everything they can to make sure he stays with the network, like, permanently. They’ve realized how huge he’s become, and they don’t want to lose him! It’s amazing!

‘They don’t want to lose him,’ the insider says. ‘Not now, not when he’s just getting started.’

Daily Mail has reached out to Ten and Seven for comment.  

Robert has also been busy filming a spin-off show of Dancing With The Stars, titled ‘Dancing With The Stars: The Next Pro,’ in Brisbane.

Filming for the upcoming Disney/BBC series, hosted by Robert, has been going on for two weeks and is progressing well.

Robert’s previous “Dancing with the Stars” partner, Witney Carson, is also likely to join the show and is arriving in Australia soon.

She’s expected to add some international flair to the show, and she and her co-star already have great chemistry from working together before.

The upcoming series combines intense competition with a look at what happens behind the scenes. Contestants will live and train together, similar to the reality show Big Brother.
