If he thought the cocktail parties at the mansion were wild, wait until he’s tasked with dunny duty after an eating trial.
Our very first celebrity for 2025 has been revealed and it’s none other than our leading man, Matty Johnson, aka Matty J!
Matty’s journey to celebrity status began back in 2017 when he handed out roses on The Bachelor and, spoiler alert, found true love with Laura Byrne. Fast forward to now, they’ve got two kids, a three-legged dog, and are living happily ever after – but Matty’s about to experience a whole new kind of khaki chaos.
Matty J said: “When I’m an old man I hope to be at family gatherings with the grandkids begging for another story of how I was able to survive in the African Jungle for months by fighting off wild baboons and eating boar anus.”
Matty J has come a long way since The Bachelor… and it just keeps going all the way to South Africa. Having spent the last few years working across television in both presenter and contestant capacities, it’s Matty’s parenting related antics on social media that has earned him a loyal following and the title of the country’s Best Creator on Instagram at the inaugural AiMCO Awards. Alongside his good mate Ash Wicks, Matty J’s uber popular podcast Two Doting Dads, has also managed to turn dad bods into the hottest accessory and made parenting fails funny.
Matty and Laura may have found true love on TV, but he’s about to meet his one spew love when he comes face to face with the trials Robert Irwin and Julia Morris have prepared for his arrival.
Want to know who’ll be joining Matty J in the capital J-ungle? All will be revealed very soon!
