‘It was a real shame when Totally Wild was cancelled, and all the major networks have been looking at capitalising on that space since,’ an alleged source tells the weekly magazine.

‘Now that Robert’s 18, he’s the perfect choice to become the new Ranger Stacey – and it helps that he’s got the potential to be a bit of a heartthrob, too!’ they added.

Channel 10’s long-running children’s show Totally Wild was axed in February after 29 years on the air.

The former host, ‘Ranger Stacey’ Thomson, 57, was beloved by viewers.

The decision was made because Channel 10 is refocusing its children’s programming on drama rather than factual content.
