Robert Irwin took to social media to share an unwanted guest in his hotel room while filming I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! in South Africa.

On Thursday, the wildlife warrior shared a video of the moment he discovered a vervet monkey was causing a ruckus at this jungle-edge accommodation.

The video shows a curious monkey brazenly taking up residence in Robert’s bathroom.

The young wildlife enthusiast found humor in the situation, recounting the unexpected encounter with his usual charm.

“I’m sitting in my room and I hear a noise. Okay, that’s how it’ll be,” he recounted, just before revealing the adorable source of the commotion.

Robert tried to get the monkey out of his room by saying, “Very well, could you please leave the premises?” I don’t need you in my bathroom, buddy.

Fortunately, the monkey immediately jumped through an open window.

Looking back on the encounter with a smile, Robert admitted to a slight security oversight: “I really thought that door was locked. Clearly no.

He greeted his unexpected guest with a friendly: “Have a good one.” See you, buddy.

It comes after Channel 10 confirmed Irwin would return as co-host for the 2025 season of the reality show.

Speaking to the Daily Mail Australia, a Channel 10 spokesperson vehemently denied reports suggesting Irwin’s tenure at the channel could be coming to an end.

“What a load of crocodile!” We’ve heard a lot of furphy over the last 10 seasons, but media reports are that Robert is no longer hosting I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! take the cake and are completely wrong,” they said in a statement.

“We just finished a great season and we can’t wait to do it again next year.”

The Woman’s Day report, which hinted at a potential return to rival network Seven, was quickly quashed by our source at Channel 10.

This comes as a network insider praised the wildlife warrior for his recent hosting gig.

“Robert’s relaxed and impeccable live television skills won the nation over. But contrary to rumors, his career at Ten is far from over; Robert will definitely stay with us,” they said.

“Robert has been an absolute treasure on the show.

“His wildlife expertise and genuine charm resonated well with viewers, and we’re thrilled to have him back.”
