‘My God, what a magnificent human, well we already know he’s a magnificent human…’
Julia also shared details about Robert’s emotional phone call.
‘He was just like ”This is unreal… this is fantastic, and you deserve it” and he’s an incredibly generous man on so many levels. So yeah, getting to share this experience of the jungle with him has been amazing.’
Elsewhere in the chat, Julia made reference to her roots in Gosford on the Central Coast of NSW.
‘Gosford has never been prouder,’ Julia said, adding that this is fourth time she has been up for prestigious TV gong.
Meanwhile, co-host Ryan ‘Fitzy’ Fitzgerald suggested that Julia could enlist Robert to help raise some votes for the prize.
‘We love this man. Is there any chance that you can use the 58 million followers that he has on social media to help with your campaign Julia?’
‘Yes! It should be called let’s get Coastal Grandma all the way to the finish line,’ she replied.
