‘You better f*cking prepare yourself’: Australia’s favourite unlikely duo Robert Irwin and Julia Morris to battle for Gold Logie

Julia Morris and Rob Irwin have been lighting up Australian screens as the country’s favourite unlikely duo. Now, they’re battling for the prestigious Gold Logie. Mumbrella sat down with the pair to talk all about it.

When Rob Irwin got the call that he’d been nominated for the Gold Logie, he had his head in a chicken coop.

It sounds like the type of neat publicity story that the Ten promotions department would conjure up, but given that a 14-year-old Robert brought a python onto the Logies red carpet in 2018, Irwin certainly has priors in this regard.

“I was cleaning my chicken coop when I got the call,” Irwin tells Mumbrella, “I answered the phone, went, ‘No way!’, and immediately just called Julia. We were both just over the moon.”
