Key pointsNetwork 10 is resting its reality series I\u2019m A Celebrity \u2026 Get Me Out of Here!The exclusivity period for I\u2019m a Celebrity expired in April, allowing ITV Studios to begin shopping the series to other networks.ITV said they were \u201cpretty confident\u201d Nine and Seven would be interested.\u00a0Co-hosts Robert Irwin and Julia Morris expressed their support for the series, and would be \u201cforever grateful\u201d for the opportunity.<\/p>\n

Network 10 will \u201crest\u201d its popular reality show I\u2019m a Celebrity \u2026 Get Me Out Of Here! \u2013 and though the broadcaster is keen to revive the series in future, it is now vulnerable to being poached by a rival network.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have made the decision to rest I\u2019m A Celebrity \u2026 Get Me Out Of Here! <\/a>in 2027 as we focus on offering our audience a range of content on all platforms,\u201d a 10 spokesperson said. \u201cWe look forward to working with [current hosts] Julia Morris<\/a> and Robert Irwin<\/a> on other projects.\u201d<\/p>\n

Network 10 made the announcement on Friday, after more than a week of rumours surrounding its future.<\/p>\n

Several sources from 10 and production company ITV Studios Australia \u2013 speaking last week on the condition of anonymity due to the commercially sensitive nature of negotiations \u2013 said the network was eager to retain the format.<\/p>\n

\u201c10 has been running the ruler over I\u2019m a Celeb for months on end,\u201d one ITV source said. \u201cThey\u2019ve been looking at every possible option to make it stack up financially, but in the end it\u2019ll come down to whether or not they can justify the cost.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another ITV insider said that 10\u2019s exclusivity period for I\u2019m a Celebrity expired in April, allowing the company to begin shopping the series to other networks.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut this has happened before,\u201d the source said. \u201cThe exclusivity period would expire and then, a few months later, usually around June or July, 10 would sign on for another year. And if 10 decides not to pick it up for 2027, we\u2019re pretty confident that Seven or Nine will be interested.\u201d (Nine owns this masthead.)<\/p>\n

In a statement, Irwin said: \u201cI want to express what an absolute privilege it has been to work on this show for the past three seasons. I grew up watching this show as so many Aussies do, so to be part of the fantastic team that make this series a reality felt like a dream come true. We have had the honour of sharing incredible stories and create a platform to shine a light on amazing charities that our celebrities have supported along the way. And to do it all alongside my co-host, and friend, Julia Morris, made it a truly life-changing experience that I will remember for the rest of my life.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"ConcettaConcetta Caristo was voted winner of I\u2019m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here! earlier this year. <\/p>\n

Morris said, \u201cI\u2019m A Celebrity and our whole jungle family who make this show have made it the best working experience of my lifetime. I have loved every moment and will be forever grateful to [network president Beverley McGarvey] and the whole team at Network 10 for not only believing in this show but nurturing it for 12 years. And to our jungle family watching from home, we love you.\u201d<\/p>\n

At first glance, Network 10\u2019s decision may seem strange: I\u2019m a Celebrity is consistently one of the network\u2019s most-watched programs, and this year\u2019s season had its strongest start since 2022.<\/p>\n

In January, its debut episode averaged almost 1.19 million viewers nationally (this figure includes everyone who watched or streamed the episode within seven days of its initial screening). The season finale, which ended in February, averaged 700,000 viewers.<\/p>\n
