In reality TV<\/a> land, it\u2019s the one question on everyone\u2019s lips: who will host I\u2019m A Celebrity\u2026 Get Me Out of Here!<\/a>?<\/p>\n

The chatter started as soon as Channel Seven announced in July it had nabbed the hit reality show from Network 10. Would Seven talent \u2013 and former I\u2019m A Celeb co-host \u2013 Dr Chris Brown<\/a> be tapped to lead the show once more? <\/p>\n

And would his former co-host and TV WEEK Gold Logie<\/a> nominee Julia Morris<\/a> join him?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The pair hosted the show for nine season rom 2015 to 2023, before Dr Chris left 10. For the remainder of the show\u2019s time at 10, Julia co-hosted with Robert Irwin. <\/p>\n

Any speculation that the wildlife warrior might jump ship to Seven for IAC seems to have dissipated with news he is fronting a relaunched version of Australian Ninja Warrior with Georgie Tunny and Beau Ryan next year.<\/p>\n

Now, there is talk former Australian Survivor host Jonathan LaPaglia<\/a> could be in line for jungle job on IAC. Jonathan, who is narrating a new reality show called Apocalypse for BINGE, is now looking for his next gig. And IAC would seem like the perfect role for someone with his proven track record.<\/p>\n

But would he consider doing it?<\/p>\n

\u201cDidn\u2019t 10 say they were going to rest it or something? I guess that was code for we\u2019re not doing it anymore,\u201d Jonathan, 57, tells TV WEEK when asked about the role.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey don\u2019t have a host for it yet? I would consider it, for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n

Could you imagine Jonathan co-hosting with Julia? What a dynamic pairing!<\/p>\n

There is also some talk former The Project host Carrie Bickmore<\/a> is set to mark her relaunch to television by snaring the role as IAC co-host. At this year\u2019s TV WEEK Logie Awards, Carrie wore a leopard-print dress that seemed very, shall we say, jungle-inspired.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Speaking to TV WEEK on the Logies red carpet, the 45-year-old Gold Logie winner said: \u201cI have never said never to anything. I\u2019ve been saying no to most things for the last few years,\u00a0just because I wanted to work out what I actually want to do.\u00a0I could have very quickly said yes to something\u00a0and just got back on the horse.\u201d<\/p>\n

Could this be the show that gets her back in the saddle? Or will Seven opt to go with Julia\u2026 and Jonathan? <\/p>\n
