Aussie Star Rumored Not Returning to Channel Ten After LaPaglia’s Exit from Survivor

Another huge name is rumoured not to be returning to Channel 10 after Jonathan LaPaglia was axed from Survivor Australia.

According to a TV insider, Rodger Corser was quietly ‘let go’ after the quirky reality show he hosted, The Traitors, was cancelled at the end of 2024.

Channel 10 confirmed to Daily Mail Australia on Monday that the show would not be back, amid recent speculation that the network was looking at a reboot.

The source added that management is trimming budgets back by letting go of high-priced talent.

‘Essentially anyone with anything close to six zeroes [salary] has been let go,’ a source told Woman’s Day on Monday.
