On Wednesday, ex-NRL player turned reality TV star turned author Luke Bateman announced he would be swapping the farm for the African jungle.
In a video posted to his social media accounts, Luke confirmed he was the “rugby league romeo” that Channel 10 had been teasing for the past couple of weeks.
“In some very exciting news, I’ll be trading the Australian outback for the African jungle,” the debut author posted on social media. “I’m very excited to see what Robert (Irwin) and Julia (Morris) have cooked up for me. I’m sure there’ll be some delectable food items and some fear-instilling trials.
“I can’t wait,” he added.
