Two options I see from this:
either the obvious one: Amanda Keller (although taping of I'm A Celebrity likely conflicts with final Jonesy/Amanda brekky show on Gold Sydney),

With another flying jumping castle incident in the books, we are reminded of that one fictional one... that led Nine to not letting Andrew Lofthouse intro those sorts of stories: after he did a story intro for Chris Lilley's "We Can Be Heroes" whilst working at the ABC.
