Earlier this week, it was announced that Aussie wildlife legend Robert Irwin will be co-hosting the 2024 season of ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here‘ alongside comedian Julia Morris.

The news came after Dr. Chris Brown announced his departure from the show, to move to Channel 10’s rival network, Channel 7.

It’s been revealed how much the 19-year-old son of the late Steve Irwin will be earning from his role on the show and let’s just say we’re blown away.

According to Daily Mail Australia, Robert will be earning over $430,000 for his six-week appearance on the show, which will be filmed in the South African jungle.

An insider at the network said that because of his international fanbase, they believed he was ‘worth every cent’.
