They have been firm friends ever since they started hosting I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! together. 

And Julia Morris’ relationship with co-host Dr Chris Brown is so strong she’s the first to defend him in public, especially when it comes to tabloid rumours. 

Speaking to TV Week, the comedian, 52, says she feels ‘like an older sister’ towards 42-year-old Chris.

‘Oh my God – I rise up like a machine! I get very protective of him.

‘He really is very private, whereas I’m open like a pizza.’  

According to Woman’s Day, the celebrity vet has been dating stunning model Brooke Meredith, 29, since April.
