There couldn’t be a better hosting choice then Chris Brown and paired with Julia Morris this is going to be epic.
A multi-talented stand-up comedian, host and actor with nearly 20 years’ experience, Julia Morris will join forces with TEN’s favourite Bondi Vet and co-host of The Living Room, Chris Brown, for one of the biggest and most exciting live reality television events of 2015.
Julia and Chris will be responsible for bringing this live, noisy and highly interactive show to Australian viewers over five nights a week.
One of Australia’s most successful and polished comedy exports, Julia has worked with comedy royalty including Richard Pryor, Jason Alexander, Whoopi Goldberg and Robin Williams. Having won the first Australian version of Celebrity Apprentice, raising nearly $200,000 for Breast Cancer Research, Julia went on to star in House Husbands.
I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here will be filmed in the dramatic, picturesque South African jungle, with 10 big-name celebrities competing to win $250,000 for their favourite charity.
Network Ten Chief Programming Officer, Beverley McGarvey said: “We could not have imagined a better duo to host I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!.
“Julia and Chris are dynamic, passionate and intelligent people who will bring a unique flair, humour and kind-heartedness to the show. As hosts, they complement each other perfectly and we are thrilled to welcome Julia back to Network Ten.”
Julia Morris said: “I think we all know I’ve been waiting a long time to get Dr Chris Brown in the jungle…and under no circumstances will I be yelling GET ME OUT OF HERE!.
“I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here! is a show I’ve been in love with since my time in the UK and is the kind of ‘stay at home and cancel all plans’ TV that doesn’t come along very often. It’s going to be unmissable.”Chris Brown said: “The idea of spending some time in Africa always excites me, but when that means being at the helm of something as fun and fascinating as I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! then it’s a dream come true.
“And while I personally can’t wait to get up close to wildlife like lions, giraffes and leopards once again, the chance to work with the wildest of them all, Julia Morris, has me ready to make the great migration over there right now! She’s an amazingly talented, yet incredibly kind performer who is sure to have me on my toes every day in the jungle.”
With Julia and Chris there to help, the celebrities will leave their beautiful homes, families and luxuries behind. How will they cope with African wildlife, a constant series of challenges and tests, basic rations and their fellow campmates?
Who will survive the infamous Bush Tucker Trials? Who will win the hearts of viewers and be crowned King or Queen of the Jungle?
Australians will cheer and laugh along, as they vote to decide what challenges the celebrities will face, who takes part in the Bush Tucker Trials and who will be forced to shout “I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!”
Ms McGarvey said: “I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! is the biggest entertainment show in the UK and we cannot wait to bring the local version to Australians. “It will be family entertainment at its best, a nightly soap opera in which viewers decide who eats, who plays and who stays.
“This innovative television experience will be super-sized across all screens, with a fully integrated television offering and innovative online experiences. It will captivate, entertain and delight all Australians,” she said.
The cast for I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here will be kept under wraps until the first episode screens on Ten in 2015
