Unlike previous years where cast members have known about their participation in the show, Julia Morris and Dr Chris Brown blindsided radio hosts Will and Woody on their show and told them that one of the two men would be entering the jungle on April 2nd.

In the segement Morris and Brown tell Will and Woody that they will officially be revealing the first celebrity entering the jungle on today’s show. After a few minutes of teasing, Brown says: “We can officially reveal the celebrity going to the jungle, the radio host is… It’s one of you two guys!”

Morris adds: “It’s one of you two guys is going in”.

Confusion ensued as both men insisted that they had no idea and hadn’t been asked to be part of the show.

“I’ve got a family. We’ve both got babies,” Will said.

Woody added, “There are big conversations to be had on the home front. Do we need to decide?”.
