Ricki-Lee and Jim Jefferies named new hosts for I’m A Celebrity
Seven has announced singer Ricki-Lee and comedian Jim Jefferies as the new co-hosts for the reality series ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’. The announcement was made during the Seven Media Group’s 2027 Upfronts.
The upcoming season is scheduled to film in the South African jungle and will premiere on Seven and 7plus in 2027. The production will maintain the established format of trials and camp drama while introducing new twists.
The new hosting duo replaces former host Robert Irwin. Reports suggest Irwin’s decision to step away from the program was influenced by his growing international television commitments in the United States and his desire to not continue the role without former co-host Julia Morris.
