In 2020, for the sixth year in a row, Julia Morris and Dr Chris Brown will enter the South African jungle for I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! Australia.
For comedian and actress Morris, hosting the reality show certainly comes with its challenges.

“I’ve had a lot of friends [on the show] over the years, which makes it hard to see them suffering,” Morris told Mamamia. “It’s really difficult.”
Speaking about her favourite contestants on the show, Morris added that it was like “choosing my babies over each other”.
“I loved Chrissy Swan, always. My beloved Joel Creasey. I loved Casey Donovan,” she recalled.
But while Morris has had dozens of favourite contestants on the show, she’s also famously “hated” others.
Speaking to news.com.au after tennis player Bernard Tomic and boxer and rugby league footballer Anthony Mundine chose to withdraw from the show in 2018, you could feel the anger dripping in her words.
“I hated them for turning their backs on it. I thought, you know what? You are weak. As. Piss. The two that walked – one of them didn’t even give it a chance! And the other one was just sort of over it,” she said referring to Tomic who left after just three nights and Mundine who departed the show after less than two weeks.
