I'm A Celebrity fans threaten to boycott the series if 'mumager' Terri Irwin gets her way and installs Bindi as co-host alongside son Robert

As a longtime fan of wildlife documentaries and reality TV shows, I must say that if the rumors about the Irwins taking over “I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!” are true, it would be an exciting development for both the show and the Irwin family. Terri Irwin has always been a strong figure in conservation efforts, and her children have followed in her footsteps with their passion and dedication to wildlife.


Viewers of “I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!” in Australia are considering a boycott because rumors suggest that the Irwins are trying to seize control over the Channel Ten series.

On Saturday, it was exclusively disclosed by Daily Mail Australia that Terri Irwin could potentially be aiming for a co-host role alongside Bindi and her brother Robert on the show next year, as their mother.

Despite Channel Ten denying the rumors, fans have banded together, issuing warnings that they will stop watching the show if Terri, aged 60, appoints her children as the sole hosts.

1. A dissatisfied Facebook user commented, ‘There’s yet another reason not to watch Channel 10,’ and another person chimed in, ‘That certainly doesn’t help the ratings for the show.’

Others commented, ‘The end,’ and: ‘RIP Channel 10, you have lost the plot.’

‘No way, Bindi, let this be Robert’s time to shine. Don’t take this from him,’ yet another begged.

As a devoted fan, I’ve heard many others express their preference for the entire series being called off, rather than replacing Julia Morris with the Irwins.

A viewer expressed their thoughts as follows: ‘If things are as they seem, I believe we should call off the entire program. Frankly, I don’t think I’ll tune in.’

‘I won’t be watching it, couldn’t get any worse…’ another agreed.

Additional heated responses flooded in promptly, containing phrases such as ‘I couldn’t tolerate it’, ‘I hope not!’, and ‘You have to be joking’, accompanied by expressions of anger in the form of emoticons.

The user stated, “I’m passing, I don’t prefer either option. If Bindi were to host instead, viewers wouldn’t tune in.”

Having spent years working on a variety of farms, I can confidently say that some individuals have an exceptional understanding and skill when it comes to animals. They may not be as well-versed in the complexities of human society, but their expertise in animal care is undeniable. On the other hand, television provides a glimpse into the lives of people from all walks of life, offering a different kind of knowledge that can’t be found on a farm. It’s important to remember that both environments offer unique learning opportunities and experiences.

The commotion occurred a few days following the Daily Mail Australia’s disclosure that Bindi, aged 26, might take on hosting duties for I’m A Celebrity Australia together with her younger sibling Robert.

20-year-old conservationist Robert left fans spellbound by his captivating performance as the co-host of I’m A Celebrity alongside veteran host Julia Morris this year.

He nabbed two Logies nominations just months after his big debut, and is up against TV veteran Julia, 56, in the most popular presenter and personality categories.

In the midst of his significant achievements, there are whispers circulating that Terri is advocating for Bindi to collaborate with Robert as a co-host on the franchise in 2025. However, Channel 10 has refuted these claims.

A source shared with Daily Mail Australia: ‘It seems someone within Ten Network is considering a long-term plan to keep I’m A Celebrity… running for the next decade, and that could involve the Irwin family taking control of the reality competition series.’

Terri Irwin, the manager of Australia Zoo alongside her two kids, reportedly expresses enthusiasm for Bindi joining Robert in co-hosting duties. This move aims to provide a fresh perspective and reinvigorate the reality show.

The source added, “Terri would gain greater authority over the program, providing a thrilling revamp for our brand.”

The Irwins express eagerness to share their enthusiasm and optimism on the program, aiming to increase public understanding and appreciation of our natural environment.

According to the source, it was suggested that Robert’s latest interview with Bindi on The Project served as an audition or trial run to evaluate their potential chemistry as co-hosts on screen.

‘They stated that these events were not coincidental; instead, they were carefully orchestrated as a chance to observe the interaction between executives when placed in a jungle setting. The people of Australia observed this experiment through a live broadcast.’

Instead, Channel 10 refutes the allegations, asserting that they have no intentions of replacing Julia from her role as Robert’s co-host.

A representative stated, “Contrary to the gossip, it’s false. Julia Morris is inseparable from I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, and our audience adores her.”

I must say, as someone who’s been around the block a few times when it comes to romantic storylines, the chemistry between Robert and Julia in this year’s jungle setting has truly captivated me. It’s not often that I find myself so invested in a couple on screen, but their interactions have struck a chord with my own experiences and left a lasting impression. Kudos to the writers for creating such a believable and engaging love story!

They’ve been nominated for the TV Week Gold Logie award for the third time for Julia, and they’re also in contention for the Bert Newton Award for Favorite Presenter. This suggests that their on-screen partnership is popular among viewers.

Daily Mail Australia has contacted the Irwins’ representatives for comment.
