As an ardent fan of unconventional talents and underdog stories, I find myself thoroughly intrigued by the prospect of Rachael ‘Raygun’ Gunn gracing our screens in the upcoming season of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! Australia. Her meteoric rise to fame, or rather infamy, during the 2024 Paris Olympics has left an indelible mark on the global stage, and I can’t help but feel that her unique blend of audacity and resilience would make for a captivating jungle adventure.
The contentious Olympic athlete Rachael ‘Raygun’ Gunn has reportedly been invited to join the cast of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! Australia for their upcoming season.
At the age of 36, the breakdancer reached worldwide acclaim following her notoriously poor showing at the 2024 Olympics in Paris, a performance that turned out to be the most discussed event in the competition.
According to a source, Channel Ten is keen on recruiting the Sydney-born athlete, believing she would be an excellent fit for their program, as reported by this week’s New Idea magazine.
“Raygun would make a great companion during our wilderness adventure. People are eager to learn about her experiences in the jungle. Whether you admire or dislike her, she certainly stirs up conversations.”
They swiftly found that incorporating Raygun’s distinctive flair was highly appealing to viewers, and her involvement in the program is certain to attract more spectators.
‘It’s these viral moments and water-cooler conversations that IAC will want to capitalise on.’
The distinctive Olympic performance by Raygun, characterized by kangaroo hops and a moment where she moved across the ground like a snake, triggered a wave of mockery on the internet.
Her regular method didn’t win over the judges and she received no points at all, finishing in last place in the intense contest.
On Sunday evening, Gunn unexpectedly showed up at the 2024 TV Week Logie Awards, hinting towards the ongoing controversy.
Instead of asking the celebrity nominees to perform her signature moves, Raygun suggested they should showcase those unique gestures to honor their Logie awards triumphs.
She told the crowd: ‘Australia, Raygun here. I just want to say congrats to all the Logie nominees and best of luck tonight.
As a passionate devotee, I heartily encourage you to incorporate some of my favorite moves in your jubilations. Enjoy the moment and take care of one another!
Despite encountering significant criticism following her Olympic display, Raygun simultaneously attracted the interest of many prominent figures.
Various well-known figures such as Adele, Fatboy Slim, and Jimmy Fallon (an American talk show host) have all voiced their backing for the athlete.
