Robert Irwin was left red-faced this week after he hilariously mispronounced ‘I’m A Celebrity’ while appearing on TV.
The conservationist, 19, was on Celebrity Gogglebox discussing his new gig as co-host of the hit reality show, and awkwardly fumbled the title.
‘I’m a celedebrity, get me…. I said it wrong! I’m a cedebrity,’ Robert began.
‘I’m gonna be a great host, I can’t even say the title of the show,’ he joked.

The Irwins featured on Gogglebox’s celebrity iteration alongside stars such as Carrie Bickmore, Fifi Box and Dave Hughes.
Earlier this week, Robert was announced as Dr. Chris Brown’s replacement co-host of Channel Ten’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here alongside Julia Morris.
