Bindi Irwin, who is fresh off winning ratings bonanza Dancing with the Stars in the USA, has a growing international profile and will likely pull in a big crowd for the reality show.

“We are very honoured that Terri, Bindi and Robert have agreed to drop into the I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here! camp and we know the camp mates will be amazed and excited,” said Channel Ten’s chief programming officer Beverly McGarvey.

This season’s I’m a Celebrity cast include former AFL star Brendan Fevola, cricket legend Shane Warne and former Australian Idol star Anthony Callea.

Thus far, the contestants have been made to eat rat offal, a fish smoothie and antelope blood.

Ratings have been positive for the show, which drew 1.3million viewers for its premiere.

Shane Warne is rumoured to be being paid up to $3million for surviving six weeks in the jungle, just days after closing his charitable foundation after it was revealed to have donated an average of 16 cents for every dollar it made in a three-year period.
