Actresses Robin Wright and Sarah Rafferty put on glamorous displays as they attended the Closing Ceremony of the 64th Monte-Carlo Television…
The talk of the Logies leading up to the big day was Robert Irwin’s likely date to the event.
But on Sunday, the 20-year-old Gold Logie nominee didn’t turn up with ‘helicopter mum’ Terri on his arm as expected.
Instead, the son of Steve Irwin hit the red carpet At Star City Sydney with his I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here co-host Julia Morris.
Wildlife Warrior Robert was dapper in a dark tuxedo for his red carpet turn.
Julia, 56, meanwhile, was ravishing in a red gown as she sashayed her way into Sydney’s Star City.
Irwin is the ‘hot favourite’ to win the Gold Logie at the 64th annual TV Week Logie Awards on Sunday night.
In June, sources told Daily Mail Australia the celebrity conservationist would be accompanied by his mother and matriarch of the Irwin family, Terri, despite recent backlash from fans who think the pair are ‘joined at the hip’.

‘The son of the late Steve Irwin is arguably Australia’s most talked about “bachelor” in the TV industry and everyone knows he wouldn’t find it hard to pull a date. Which is why his decision seems a little odd,’ the insider said.
‘He told the producers of I’m A Celebrity he plans to share the night’s celebrations with his Mum – who has been his biggest supporter.’
They continued: ‘However, the producers feel his decision is going to land with a massive thud with his core fans.

‘The mother and son travel everywhere together and since his break-up with Lorie Buckey they seem to be tighter than ever.
‘It is an odd dynamic for a 20-year-old boy to be so attached to his mother and many think it is time for Robert to step out from under her wings,’ the insider added.
The question of who Robert would pick to be on his arm at the Logies this year was widely speculated among industry insiders, given most attendees aren’t allowed to bring guests along with them.

‘That is how packed the awards night is – the venue simply doesn’t have the room,’ the source said.
‘Only the nominees for the Gold Logie are guaranteed the opportunity to bring a family member or a friend. Usually the nominee would bring their partner.
‘Those conversations are usually discussed internally with the unspoken rule that you require “network approval” with who you bring along.’
