Pete Helliar from the Project to the jungle

Comedian Peter Helliar has done it all, from the jungle to co-hosting the Project, to even being declared dead.

I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here was never a reality television experience that had tempted Helliar. But after his resignation from The Project - alongside Carrie Bickmore and Lisa Wilkinson - the time was right to say yes to something totally different.

In this chat with Jamila Rizvi, Helliar is circumspect. Not the usual laugh-a-minute guy you’re used to seeing on screen.
