Insiders working closely with the show told Daily Mail Australia that the TV presenter has had to 'give up her luxuries' to keep within budget this year. 'The upcoming series of I'm A Celebrity has been facing some setbacks due to "budget issues" and everyone has been affected by the tightening of the belt,' one Network Ten source claimed.

'Let's just say that a few people known for their previous demands were not happy. 'Ten doesn't have the budget they once had and some of the long standing crew and Julia Morris have noticed that the 11th series is far from the "big budget production" it once was.'.

Julia Morris, 56, (pictured) has been hit with diva behaviour rumours yet again as sources from I'm A Celebrity Australia reveal a recent budget cut has sparked some 'big meltdowns'. A former producer of the series said the money being spent to 'lavish' hosts Julia Morris and Dr Chris Brown—who has since been replaced with Robert Irwin—and 'lure' celebrities to I'm A Celebrity in its early years 'was quite ridiculous'.
'That era was all before streaming platforms started to cannibalise the free to air networks,' they added. 'When I'm a Celeb started, Dr Chris Brown and Julia Morris were living polar opposite lives to the 'celebrities' in "the jungle" and that was kind of done on purpose.
