Steve Price headed to TEN’s jungle?
Do we have the "shock jock" destined for I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here?

Rumours are afoot that Steve Price is the “shock jock” heading into the jungle for I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here.
According to News Corp, because he has returned to work earlier than usual the speculation is he will have time off for the TEN series. A pretty good theory.
TEN isn’t giving any other hints on its “outspoken, unapologetically controversial person,” but The Project regular fits the bill.
Meanwhile here are the clues thus far on the others:
A US sitcom star is not only a world famous television actor but also a stand-up comedian who has appeared in over 60 films.
A much-loved, three-time Olympian has had success in sport, business and on television.
One of AFL’s biggest characters and an AFL legend is a straight-talking Brownlow medallist.
A pop diva and soap star has had a number of top 10 hits and is one of the biggest names on Australian television.
TEN is yet to confirm a January 29 airdate.

Roseanne Barr & Michael Klim both came to mind with the other clues…
Fran Drescher
James Hird
Anyone have any theories why in three out of three seasons, we have AFL players going in.
Is this a thing Channel TEN is doing now that they don’t have the AFL anymore?
AFL, NRL, Cricket, Swimming & Iron(woman) have all been in. It’s sport. It’s Australia.
Remember that TEN only release clues which can apply to several candidates for each description. For every Toni Pearen there is a Natalie Bassingthwaighte, for every Steve Price there is a Ray Hadley, for every Jason Akermanis there is a Dipper.
Yeah last year there were rumours that Denise Drysdale was one of them but as she was on Studio 10 the week before when they had already left for the jungle realised she wasn’t.
Steve Price
Jason Akermanis
Natalie Bassingthwaite
AFL Player – maybe Ben Cousins?
i’m thinking he would break the no contraband rule pretty quickly 😉 would be pretty good ratings winner though seeing as the media still follow his every move even though he hasn’t played footy for about 6 years
Warne & others were allowed to smoke off camera.
what about Kyle Sandilands??? loud mouth shock jock, shoots his mouth all the time!?!
No soft drink or tobacco would just about kill him!
Actually it came out last year that they were allowed to smoke out of the camp off camera.
He has zero need to do this. He earns bucket loads of money for his radio show and there is nothing at all in it for him. Same with Ray Hadley. It will be a second or third tier one like Steve Price.
Grant Hackett going in for sure.
As hard as I try, I cannot bring myself to believe Steve Price would do this kind of thing.
Stand up comedian with over 60 films + sitcom makes me think it could be one of the Saturday Night Live cast members who have had small parts in lots of movies… Rob Schneider not up to much at the moment?
I am very curious who the sitcom star is. Over sixty films?? He would have to be older. John.Goodman? Hmmmm maybe He wouldn’t go.for it. What about jBelushi? When do they announce the names?
They don’t. Revealed on the night. Also just announced an Aussie “triple threat” comedian whatever that means. I think they mean stand up, comedy acting and radio.
I have a feeling Channel 10 is either getting the new sitcom Fuller House or is going to show repeats on their Channel 11 of Full House so I think maybe Bob Saget (who played Full House’s Danny Tanner) could be going in.
As Maureen McCormick (who played Marcia on The Brady Bunch) went in the jungle in 2015 and in 2016 Channel 11 started showing repeats of the Brady Bunch once again.
Fuller House is a Netflix exclusive, I don’t see TEN getting this.
Yes but also they also could be going to show repeats on Channel 11 maybe of Full House which ran from September 22, 1987 to May 23, 1995.
Price is boring. I want to see Bronwyn Bishop.
like she would be more interesting? hope u were joking….
they could “chopper her in” at tax payer’s expense…
I’m trying to remember last years show, they either flew them or choppered them in & they had to parachute down.
I like watching I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, but I won’t be able to tolerate this bigot on the show, it’s the reason I don’t watch The Project on Mondays! Why are these old racist, homophobic gerks still allowed to be on TV, is beyond me. New Year, new people, younger people. Please.
Not that I am defending him, but it appears people have forgotten Steve Price’s visit to Mardi Gras years ago for The Project where did a complete U-turn on his outlook.
Steve also did an excellent report on unemployment in adeleides suburb Elizabeth a few years ago. Steve is all about controversy and the theatre of it but would do him good to do more of these social stories on the project. And maybe that is why he is going on celebrity so we can see the real Steve price after a fairly controversial 2016 for him. I like Steve on the project as he does balance up on waleeds biased views ( not that I agree with him on everything) And balance is good!
People go on the show to lift their profile or to make us see another side to them.
“waleeds biased views” yeah! fancy being a moderate centralist, we must balance it with a far-right out-of-touch bigot!!
I am the opposite. Monday nights Project is my favourite because he is on it. I really enjoy Pricey and his views whether I agree with him or not
As much as I agree (that he’s just the worst of the worse), several times Carrie has mentioned that he’s different away from the cameras then how he is in front of them — If this is so, I would be quite keen to see him heading in to the jungle.
Oh, I was hoping it was Kyle Sandilands.
Pricey has always insisted he would never go on the show, but maybe Ch 10 producers have been very persuasive. Andrew Bolt maybe another option?
AFL player probably Jason Akermanis.
Lock in Melissa Tkautz or Toni Pearen as the supposed Pop Diva. Also my money is on Jason Akermanis as the AFL player.
Toni Pearen and Jason Akermanis both crossed my mind (although she is hardly one of the biggest names on TV). Melissa is doing Real Housewives of Syd so I would rule her out. Hoping it is not Dipper, as he has done too many celeb reality shows.
I was thinking Natalie Imbruglia.
