‘It’s something that I think about at any milestone in my life’: Robert Irwin on furthering his father’s legacy

When Robert Irwin signed on to co-host the 2024 season of I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!, he made one important stipulation before agreeing to the job: no more eating wildlife organs.

For the uninitiated, earlier seasons often had contestants bravely chomping through tiger testicles or some unsavory snack as part of a squeamish challenge. But no more.

Although it’s a small change — the eating challenges did continue, with “sustainably farmed animals” — it’s part of a conservation continuum that began with his father’s groundbreaking work.
