Robert Irwin has undergone a notable transformation since his victory on *Dancing With The Stars* in the United States, according to his co-host, Julia Morris. Irwin, who began hosting *I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!* in 2024 after the departure of Dr. Chris Brown, has captured the hearts of audiences across Australia. His recent achievements have only elevated his status, raising speculation about his future direction in the entertainment industry.
Irwin’s win on *Dancing With The Stars* last year not only expanded his fanbase but also led to discussions about his potential move overseas for new opportunities. While some expressed concerns that increased fame might negatively impact him, Morris dispelled these notions in a recent interview with PEDESTRIAN.TV. She emphasized that the experience in the United States had a profoundly positive effect on Irwin.
“Coming back from America, I think it cracked open his heart,” Morris stated. “I think it moved him in ways that will not even present themselves until it starts to get still a little bit around him.” She noted that the rigorous physical and emotional demands of the competition allowed Irwin to grow in ways that would reveal themselves over time.
Collaboration and Support on Set
Morris reflected on her time working alongside Irwin, describing the past two years as “absolutely incredible.” She praised his ability to adapt to the role of host, noting that it can be challenging to establish one’s identity when taking over a position previously held by another. “Robert has been himself since the very first frame,” she remarked. “He’s been working for a long, long time; of course, he’s going to be confident in the man that he is.”
Despite his success, Irwin faced a demanding transition from the dance floor to the jungle. According to Morris, his production schedule was tightly packed. After finishing his run on *Dancing With The Stars*, he flew to New York for promotional appearances before heading directly to Africa to begin filming *I’m A Celebrity*. “The only break he had was in the air,” she explained.
Morris took it upon herself to ensure that Irwin could adjust to the fast-paced environment once again. She communicated with the production team to allow him a smoother re-entry into work. “I said to as many people as I could, ‘Let’s just back up for the first few days and not overwhelm him,’” she said, acknowledging the excitement surrounding Irwin’s return.
She also reassured Irwin that the team was mindful of his need for space. “I told Robert as well, in case it seemed like everyone was staying away,” she added. “But there were little things we all tried to do, like, if we needed to stay longer to do voice-over bits, I’d be like, ‘You go first so you can go home.’”
The camaraderie between Morris and Irwin has become a focal point of the show’s appeal. As the new season of *I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!* unfolds, the dynamic between the two hosts continues to resonate with viewers. The current season has already sparked drama and intrigue, featuring confrontations and revelations among contestants.
The show airs on Channel 10, offering episodes on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday at 19:30, as well as Sundays at 19:00. As the season progresses, audiences can expect more engaging content and challenges that highlight the personalities of the contestants and the hosting duo.
Irwin’s journey from a celebrated wildlife advocate to a prominent television personality showcases not only his versatility but also his ability to connect with audiences on a personal level. As he navigates this new chapter, the support from Morris and the production team will likely play a crucial role in his ongoing success.
