Network 10
Hold onto your hats, folks, because it’s time for another season of “I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!“
Season 9 is finally here, and it’s already delivering the laughs and chaos that we all know and love.
After two seasons of being forced to film in northern New South Wales due to COVID, the borders are finally open, and we’re coming to you live from the South African jungle. And of course, we couldn’t have “I’m a Celeb” without our dynamic duo, Julia Morris and Dr Chris Brown, who are back to host the madness.
If you’re tuning in and thinking, ‘Wait, who are these people?’ don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. We’ll give you the lowdown on each celeb, what they’re known for, where you’ve seen them before, and what charity they’re competing for. Get ready for another wild ride!

He has made a stage debut as Widow Twankey in Bonnie Lythgoe’s pantomime production of “Aladdin and his Wondrous Lamp” at Sydney’s State Theatre.
Before his stardom, Dicko spent over two decades in the record industry in the UK. He has worked for renowned labels such as Creation Records, Sony, A&M, and BMG and collaborated with legendary artists such as Celine Dion, Ozzy Osbourne, and Primal Scream.
