Radio presenter Amanda Keller has confirmed she will be reuniting with Dr Chris Brown for his new series, Once in a Lifetime.
The Jonesy & Amanda co-host will be departing for Africa on Friday to shoot the series, telling her WSFM breakfast show listeners she would be absent during filming.
Brown and Keller are reuniting on screen after working together on the Ten show The Living Room for a decade and forming a close bond before it was axed in 2022.

Once in a Lifetime was announced at the Channel 7 upfronts — in which the network reveals its upcoming shows — last year.
“In a spectacular new animal adventure series, Australia’s most loved vet, Dr Chris Brown, will be pushed to his limits in the pursuit of the ultimate animal encounter,” a Channel 7 spokesperson said at the time.
“But he will not be travelling to the furthest corners of the globe alone. In the most delicious twist, Chris will be taking the country’s most intriguing and entertaining personalities along … as his veterinary assistant.”
“This is a journey into the unknown packed with heart and humour in equal measure as these unlikely duos take on the challenge of helping the world’s most iconic animals – all while hopefully not putting themselves on the menu.”
On Tuesday morning, Keller spoke of the series to her listeners explaining: “It’s a show called Once in a Lifetime, and Chris Brown is hosting this.
“And this is a show I know that he’s wanted to do for years … I do know which country I’m going to, but I’m not allowed to say. It’s in Africa.
“It’s Chris’s show. He and I are hanging out, and I’m going to be having experiences.
“My nature is to over-research things and there’s nothing I can do. I can’t do that. So it’s a TV show where I can go into it floating, I can get on a plane and not have to be anxious about having to prepare something.
“It’s a real gift for me, so I’m excited. But I have arranged for people to come in and play with you while I’m away.”
Once In A Lifetime is coming to Seven and 7plus in 2024.
