Australia fell in love with Paulini during her time on Australian Idol and over the years we have never let her forget some of those iconic hits and certainly not that gold dress,….

Australia fell in love with Symon during his time on Gogglebox, proving that Bert and Ernie had found new life in Adam & Symon.

Their undeniable 'mateship' and ability to call it like it is has won over Australian audiences for up to 5 years - shocking us all when they finished their time on the Logie award winning program Gogglebox Australia.

The boys certainly have a thirst for life and shared love of footy, which for most blokes in this country is like peas and carrots or should I say a four-n-twenty pie with tomato sauce….. but right now Symon, without his mate Adam, is set to answer all the questions you want to know from his time in the jungle

Did he really want to do I'm A Celeb?

Did he get the roughest reception?

Who would he recommend next from Gogglebox?

Who was wrong regarding Rice-gate in the Jungle?

What's happening with his Footy Show on Foxtel?

Jack Vidgen's mum cried when she heard Jacks acknowledgement of her over the years.

Australia first fell in love with Jack in 2011, when he won Australia's Got Talent at just 14 years of age. After the chart topping hits that followed, the pressure of his new found fame saw Jack escape to Los Angeles, before returning to Australia to live life as a normal teenager, away from the entertainment industry.

In 2019 Jack found the courage to return to the stage as a part of the 2019 season of The Voice Australia. Jack 

This was a return to form for Jack and Australia's desire to see more of Jack has grown - now seeing him win over more audiences with his big heart and maturity - his time in the jungle was highly celebrated.

I got to ask Jack lots of the questions that you wanted to know the answers to from his time in the Jungle... and he is pretty candid with his responses.
