Let's take a look at the life of the show's on-call medical expert as he returns for another year of jungle drama.
Who is Medic Bob?
Robert "Bob" McCarron, 68, was born July 1950 in London, England and is an Australian medic.
He has been on I'm A Celebrity since the show started and is on hand to help with any jungle medical emergencies – especially after Bushtucker Trials.
Bob is also responsible for handling the snakes, spiders and other creatures for the challenges.
Although he is not a medical doctor, on screen he is often referred to as "Dr Bob".
He is a pre-hospital care practitioner and intensive care paramedic with degrees in nursing, para-medicine, pre-hospital medicine, and certificates in other specialised medical areas.
What does Bob do when he is not being a medic?
Bob is also responsible for the special effects and prosthetic makeup on many international films and stage productions.
Some notable films for which he has done the prosthetic makeup include: The Matrix, Vertical Limit (2000), Queen of the Damned (2002) and The Piano (1993).
He also designed the wild boar and the prosthetic makeup for the 1984 film Razorback.
