One of the best gigs in TV is up for grabs as Dr Chris Brown finishes up with Channel 10 after being poached by Channel 7.

Brown’s last episode as the co-host of I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here alongside Julia Morris is Sunday evening.

His departure leaves open the co-hosting role, which will need to be filled given that I ‘m A Celebrity has drawn enough viewers this year to be a shoe-in for another season.

So who could be in the running?

Comedian and radio host Joel Creasey deserves to be considered. The fact that he has previously been a contestant on the show would presumably work in his favour.

Darren McMullen is a brilliant live TV host and is a favourite of Ten’s although his last show The Real Love Boat sank. Tim Campbell is better known as a singer these days, but he has TV hosting experience (Wheel of Fortune) and was a Home And Away star.

Rob Mills, Sammy J , Dave Thornton, Shane Crawford and The Project’s Sam Taunton are others who could fit the bill.

Whoever gets the gig will inherit the gift of working alongside the genius that is Julia Morris and you would imagine she will have some input into the selection process.

Chemistry is everything and she and Brown had it.
