Robert Irwin has rushed to congratulate his I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! co-host Julia Morris after the TV veteran scored a Gold Logie nomination this week.
Both were nominated for the coveted award in 2024, but Robert missed out this year.
Julia, 57, gushed over Robert's reaction during an appearance on Nova's Fitzy, Wippa and Kate Ritchie program on Tuesday.
The veteran comedian, who celebrates 40 years on Australian TV this year, said that he called her on Monday to tell her that the nomination was 'fantastic' and 'well deserved'.

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.
Robert's warm response to Julia's news comes after the fan favourite was nominated for a Gold Logie in 2024, after joining I'm a Celebrity... as co-host the same year.
Meanwhile, Home and Away favourite Lynne McGranger, 72, who played Irene Roberts on the soap opera Home and Away for over 33 years, finally scored a Gold Logie nomination.
Also nominated for TV top prize is A Current Affair's Ally Langdon, 46, who won Best News or Public Affairs Presenter last year.
Two-time winner Hamish Blake, 43, is in the draw again for the Gold Logie, having won it back in 2022 for Lego Masters and in 2012 for Hamish and Andy's Gap Year.
Former ABC News Breakfast presenter Lisa Millar, 56, is also in the running for the top prize for her work on Backroads and Muster Dogs.
Also in the running is MasterChef Australia's Poh Ling Yeow, 51, who has recently been plagued with speculation that she may be stepping back from the beloved cooking show.

The 65th TV WEEK Logie Awards nominees were announced on Monday in the Yallamundi Rooms at the Sydney Opera House, highlighting the very best of TV talent in Australia.

She wrote: "New music and art projects on the horizon. My hubby's art will be released on Friday, as well. "Very happy for him, as it's been a long time in the making. I'll share it here so you can let him know what you think! Let's go, men! 👏 You were born for greatness." Fans took to the comment section shocked to see her looking as ageless as ever, with one writing: "You still look just as beautiful." Another added: "Wow! You were the soundtrack to my 5 year old self & you haven't aged a day! 🔥 thank you for sharing your talent with the world." A third penned: "You look exactly like you did in 1998!" Jennifer's song 'Crush' shot to No 1 in 16 countries and sold 11 million copies. It then went on to become the station's most requested song of the summer. Crush was also the top three Billboard chart hit in the US, while in the UK it listed in the top 10. Her debut album was released the same year and Jennifer went on to record three more - although they failed to gain the same traction as her first.

When did ‘feminist critique' of celebrities become nothing more than a snide telling-off?

Sabrina Carpenter was accused of dragging women back into an unenlightened past last week, as the controversial cover for her new album was met with (apparently) feminist furore. It's ironic, then, that the past is precisely where Carpenter's most outspoken critics could do with looking. It's clear that the general consensus is lurching grimly to the right when it comes to gender, and a new generation of young, female critics should be wary of falling into step. The debate about how we look at women, and what they want, risks limply missing the point. In the past few weeks, Sydney Sweeney has been chastised for selling sexy soap, and Addison Rae scolded for dancing in her underwear on stage. It's odd that the backlash has been so immense, given the celebration of Halina Reijn's Babygirl film just a few months ago. The SheEO Nicole Kidman slurping milk out of a saucer? Hot. Sweeney's dirty bathwater? Degrading and vapid. Seemingly, Kidman's age made the former radically feminist, and by extension, permissible in the eyes of the kink police. It is relevant that these debates now take place on online platforms. At their best, these spaces could provide a rare forum for popular culture to be taken seriously. From uses of the 'sexy virgin' trope to golden-age glam fantasies of whiteness, to the transformative influence of a queer audience, there are so many interesting things to say about women such as Carpenter, Sweeney and Rae, and how we are encouraged to read them. Instead, the conversation is dictated by sexist algorithms, financially rewarding those with the most extreme views. Liberation no longer brings clicks, and so to open TikTok is to fall headfirst into a sea of diatribes so puritanical they'd bring a tear to Oliver Cromwell's eye. None of this is to say that to criticise the pop girlies is blasphemy, but vitriolic chastisement is no substitute for meaningful critique. One TikTok user, priding herself on inspiring tellings of 'Herstory', asserts: 'Sabrina knows nothing … [she is] a disgrace to every woman that has ever lived.' Oddly, accounts like this have a fetishistic preference for girlbosses centuries dead, happy to build a brand around celebrating 'first' women (authors, chemists, queens, you name it), while throwing abuse at those making headlines today. If only, the inference usually seems to be, young women such as Carpenter could be as good at feminism as Jane Austen or Anne Boleyn. In fact, the real lessons are to be learned from histories a little more recent. These critiques seem largely ignorant of the 'sex wars' of the 1970s, which saw militant feminists such as Andrea Dworkin argue that whatever the context, pornographic imagery was hateful, exploitative and male. Against her were sex-positive feminists such as Angela Carter, attempting to think generously and with complexity about desire and domination in women's lives. If anyone could be bothered to dig it out, Carter's 1978 book The Sadeian Woman might turn the argument about Carpenter on its head. There, she historicises the 'good bad girl', 'blonde, buxom' with a 'childlike charm', suggesting the impossibility of writing about power and sex without writing about capitalism too. For Carter, pornographic imagery, playing on domination and subordination, wasn't to be straightforwardly judged or disregarded, but might instead be seen as 'a critique of current relations'. For all that the sex wars were aggressively fought, they were also full of rich argument, breadth and a long-lost awareness of economic forces. One thing Dworkin did get right was pornography's grim realities when constrained to a ruthless commercial sphere. When it comes to the multibillion-pound porn industry and the world of pop, those with the real power, much like the anonymous, suited man on the cover of Carpenter's album, rarely appear in frame. It's ironic, then, that in January, no less than the record producer Pete Waterman singled out Carpenter as a small blond symbol of sexism. She was, he claimed, setting women's rights back years, adding: 'If you're asking to be respected, don't come on in a G-string.' I'm not sure Carpenter needs to beg for respect from those cooped up in the retirement home for pop producers presumably still profiting from Kylie's hotpants, but those comments serve to remind us that little has changed when it comes to raking in the cash. That latter-day Pete Watermans are still those benefiting, in this case from charged debates about violence against women, is what socialist-feminists would have been pointing out decades ago, and precisely what we should be talking about today. If images of sexual subordination make some feminists uncomfortable, we should talk about that too. Instead, we're reverting to ironically paternalistic tellings off. Of course, it should come as little surprise to find the parameters of feminine sexuality being policed under the patronising pretence of concern for women's safety. It's precisely this logic that has been weaponised against transgender women for years. The result? A feminism that packs women into smaller and smaller boxes with every convenient transgression that comes along. We might ask questions about the unhappy marriage of capitalism and kink, but suggesting that women who want to experiment consensually with images of domination should in some way take the blame for male violence is dangerous, distracting and ignorant of history. Decades of work (against, for instance, the so-called 'rough sex defence') have been spent protecting women's right to express themselves sexually without fear of harm – it isn't 'choice feminism' to try to hold that ground. 'I can't escape your history,' sings Carpenter on a 2022 track. If only those attacking her felt the same way about the feminism they invoke, they might see what's really going on here. It's not so much a return to sexy pop that is restricting women as the censorious criticisms that pop's profit-driven branding seems perfectly calculated to provoke.

Georgia Love and ex Lee Elliot reunite at their Hampton house auction and enjoy a trip to their local cafe - just a few months after their shock split

Georgia Love and Lee Elliot may have shocked fans with their split, but they proved on Saturday there is no bad blood between them. The former couple appeared very friendly with each other over the weekend as they attended the auction of their Hampton East love nest in Victoria. And they had plenty to be happy about as the 'SOLD' sticker outside their marital home proved they managed to off-load the $1.35million property. The exes were all smiles as they then went out to a local cafe together to celebrate the sale. Georgia, 35, was rugged up for the occasion, wearing a thick jumper and grey skirt over opaque black stockings.

The former couple appeared very friendly with each other over the weekend as they attended the auction of their Hampton East love nest in Victoria And they had plenty to be happy about as the 'SOLD' sticker outside their marital home proved they managed to off-load the $1.35million property The former Bachelorette star, who met Lee, 44, on the 2016 season of the show, covered up her ensemble with a black puffer jacket. She added a pair of matching ankle boots and pulled her brunette tresses back from her face, at one point accessorising with dark sunnies and a nude handbag. Lee also opted for a casual all-black look on the day, as he was spotted blowing leaves out of the yard ahead of the auction. He slipped on a pair of tights beneath running shorts before adding a puffer vest over his jumper. It was revealed earlier this month Georgia and Lee were set to put their marital home in Melbourne under the hammer this weekend. The high-profile pair, who announced their split in February, listed the spacious Hampton East pad with a price range of $1.5million to $1.58million. Georgia and Lee paid an estimated $1.35million for the chic ultra-modern two-storey townhouse in 2021. Located 17km from the CBD in the upmarket Bayside area, the property boasts a thoughtful open-plan layout and an alfresco dining area with a BBQ kitchen. Highlights include a main bedroom with a private balcony, a fitted dressing room, and a dual vanity ensuite. Design features include double-glazed windows and doors, Caesarstone benchtops, Tasmanian oak flooring, hydronic heating, and reverse-cycle air conditioning. Georgia and Lee fuelled rumours they had split for some time as it had been more than four months since they were seen together. The pair spent Christmas apart with their respective families before Georgia jetted off to New York City for a holiday without Lee. They were also both spotted without their wedding bands, which led to a wave of speculation online suggesting they had ended their relationship. The pair met and fell in love on the 2016 season of The Bachelorette, which saw Georgia, a former TV news reporter, choose tradie Lee as her winning suitor. They married in 2021 at the Frogmore Creek Winery outside Hobart, followed by an outdoor reception at the Shene Distillery. The lovebirds had been due to marry in Italy the year prior, but were forced to cancel due to Covid travel restrictions. The following year, they moved into their townhouse in Hampton East.
