Robert Irwin may soon nab a gig as the host of this year's TV Week Logie Awards.
Industry chatter is rife with rumours that Channel Seven is hoping to poach the star from Channel Ten, where he's solidified his television appeal as the co-host of reality series, I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! Australia.
'Robert appeals to multiple demographics and has become incredibly valuable commercially,' an insider told Adelaide Now.
'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.'
The claims come amid talk that with recent budget cuts at I'm a Celebrity, Robert might soon exit the jungle reality series.

The TV host added, 'I'm so excited to finally share what I've been working on… things are about to get wild.'
Robert did not share any plot details, but the trailer included the title card, 'the threat is everywhere', suggesting that the film might have a conservation theme.
Other images include a crocodile in the wild, a frighteningly large spider and a flock of birds in flight.
The trailer also includes a 'starring Robert Irwin' credit for the I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! host.
