“My family and I can’t wait to be part of Celebrity Gogglebox. We are passionate Wildlife Warriors and conservationists but at the day’s end, we love our family time watching TV together. Can’t wait for everyone to get a little look into what a night at the Irwin household looks like!” Robert Irwin said.

The Irwins
Australia’s favourite family and Wildlife Warriors The Irwins – Terri, Bindi & Robert will gather together on their couch to get acquainted with the latest our television screens have to offer. Terri, a passionate wildlife spokesperson and conservation icon, dedicates her life fulfilling her late husband Steve Irwin’s legacy. Bindi and Robert have both inherited their parent’s love for wildlife and are determined to have a positive impact on the planet, continuing to educate through their television series including Crikey! It’s The Irwins. Bindi recently became a mum to daughter Grace Warrior, while Robert continues to educate thousands of guests in Australia Zoo’s daily Wildlife Warriors Show.

Dave Hughes & Holly Ife

Kerry Packer’s War, and Dr Martin Clegg in Offspring. Lachy has also appeared in movie and theatre productions over the past 30 years and well known as the voice of Fox Footy.

Alex Perry, Joh Bailey & Cheyenne Tozzi

  3. I was looking forward to this until I saw Dave Hughes was involved – why does he keep getting work? Celia Pacquola & Luke McGregor could carry the whole show TBH.

  4. That sounds wonderful and putting in the diary as we speak. Some of Robert Irwin’s recent Instagram posts about a bird with anger management issues have been hilarious. He’s got brilliant comic timing so I imagine he’ll be fun on Gogglebox. Can’t wait.

  5. Hmmm… not the most diverse of casting for 2022.
    Would love to see more of Ernie Dingo or Lee Lin Chin (imagine her in funky Ga-Ga fashion on the couch wearing Ugg Boots).
    Gian Liano would have been good value too…

  9. The moment i read Dave Hughes, i was like, yeah nah i’m out. Irwins are a good get though. If they just got rid of Dave, i’d watch but he is one of the worst personalities on tv. So grating.
