Julia Morris has debuted a glamorous new look for her 10th season as host of Channel 10’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
For much of the past decade, Julia has rocked an brunette bob and glasses as she helmed the reality series in the South African jungle.
More recently, the household name has shortened her hair to a cut that ends just above her ears and a wide fringe framing her face.
She also ditched her deep brunette locks by colouring her hair with golden highlights.
But on Tuesday, she debuted a dramatic new hairstyle in the first sneak peek at I’m A Celeb’s forthcoming season alongside her co-host Robert Irwin.

In the spirit of the jungle-themed ad, she also sported a pleather leopard print dress.

In the first look poster, Julia and Irwin grin and pose together against a photoshopped background of the jungle surrounded by cartoonish animals.
A gigantic spider crawls over Julia’s shoulder as she smiles widely with one gloved hand poised beneath her chin.
Irwin sported a similar hairdo, slicking his blonde locks fully back with gel.
Julia revealed she has been diagnosed with cancer in September, as she bravely gave an insight into her gruelling treatment on social media.

The I’m A Celebrity Australia host took to Instagram to publicly share her diagnosis for the first time and revealed she has undergone surgery.
She posted a confronting photograph of herself lying hospital with a huge bandage across her face as she explained that she had a ‘pretty big’ skin cancer removed.
Though the comedian put on a brave smile for the camera, she told how one of her eyebrows has been left marred from the surgery and warned fans of the importance of sun safety.
‘How is your 50+ [SPF] working out for you? I wish I had used it more in my life. Another pretty big skin cancer removed this week,’ she captioned the picture.
‘Going to have to up my eyebrow drawing game.
‘The Aussie sun is no joke & while I lived like a pig on a spit in my 20’s, I’m absolutely suffering the consequences now.
‘Please slip slop slap & as always, early detection is the key.’
A TV insider told Daily Mail Australia, Julia, 55, has been feeling pressure to ‘keep up’ with 20-year-old Robert’s natural banter but rumours of her leaving IAC were unfounded
Daily Mail Australia previously revealed that the show wasn’t expected to return last year.
According to an inside source, host Julia told a close friend she was not confident the show would run again, until Robert Irwin was introduced to the series.
The Wildlife Warrior’s addition to the reality TV show after former co-host Dr Chris Brown jumped ship to Channel Seven reinvigorated the series.
‘I think if Dr Chris Brown and Julia Morris were still hosting “celeb” it might have been done, but the show’s addition of Robert Irwin has given the show new life.
‘The youngest Irwin has really saved the show,’ the source said.
‘There are also a lot of established fans that have supported this show over the years and I think being back in January is the right decision for the show and there are some great people behind the show’s production.’
A part of the push to keep I’m A Celeb on the air was also the failure of the Gladiators reboot, produced by Warner Bros.
After I’m A Celeb suffered a major ratings decline in 2022, Channel Ten moved it from it’s primetime January slot to April.
They replaced it with the Australian Gladiators reboot, which launched with high hopes but failed to sustain its initial viewership.
Hosted by Beau Ryan and Liz Ellis, the show drew a substantial summer audience of 395,000 metro viewers for its premiere.
Robert performed so well on the show he landed himself a nomination for the Gold Logie, and was quickly crowned as Australia’s most popular TV talent amid his impressive rise to success as a top presenter.
Despite being a relative newcomer to Aussie screens, he impressively toppled comedic veteran Hamish Blake from the number one spot on the Australian Talent Index’s 2024 Top Talent Report.
