Julia Morris has spoken out about Channel 10's decision to 'rest' I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! in 2027.
The Australian comedian, 58, who co-hosted the series alongside Robert Irwin, admitted she was 'devastated' by the decision.
Speaking to Nova 96.9's Ricki-Lee & Tim, Julia said the fact that it was 'rested' was 'good' because it gave her hope that the show wasn't being completely tossed in the bin.
The network confirmed last month that the series was taking a 'rest' rather than being cancelled, suggesting that I'm A Celeb could be returning in the future.
Morris said being able to travel to South Africa every year for over a decade has been such a thrill.
Julia also revealed what she told Channel 10 after the decision was made.

'I also said to them, "You have my blessing, whatever form it comes back in, and whoever is at the helm… you're not going to hurt my feelings,"' she told the radio hosts.
Julia's comments come after Robert recently shared his thoughts on the show being rested.
'I want to express what an absolute privilege it has been to work on this show for the past three seasons,' Robert said in a statement.
'I grew up watching this show as so many Aussies do... to be part of the fantastic team that make this series a reality felt like a dream come true.'
The 22-year-old then thanked his co-star Julia Morris, who he has worked with since taking over the role from Dr Chris Brown in 2024.
'We have had the honour of sharing incredible stories and creating a platform to shine a light on amazing charities that our celebrities have supported along the way,' he said.
'And to do it all alongside my co-host, and friend, Julia Morris made it a truly life-changing experience I will remember for the rest of my life.'
I'm A Celebrity opened strong in 2026 with 925,000 viewers, but ratings fell to 571,000 by the finale.

Is it about time Channel 10 axed I¿m A Celebrity after 12 seasons?
Daily Mail first reported the show would not be returning to screens on May 14.
Robert will return to screens when he hosts this year's TV Week Logie Awards.
Industry chatter is rife with rumours that Seven is hoping to poach the star from Ten, where he's solidified his television appeal as the co-host of IAC.
'Robert appeals to multiple demographics and has become incredibly valuable commercially,' an insider recently told Sky News.
'He's someone networks believe could front several major formats over the next decade. This is no longer just about one hosting role.
'It's become a much bigger conversation about which network wants to build around Robert long-term.'
Robert has recently been carving out a global career after his recent winning stint on Dancing with the Stars US.
He will soon be seen in a Dancing with the Stars spin-off that recently wrapped filming in Brisbane.
The Disney/BBC production features hopefuls trying out for a role on Dancing with the Stars.
