He may not have one this year’s Australian Survivor, but firm fan-favourite Luke Toki has scored the next best thing…his own TV show.
Confirming the news at their annual Upfronts in Sydney, Network Ten revealed that the ‘King Of The Jungle’ will be at the helm of his own digital and social media show for Australian Survivor All-Stars.

Last month over $550,000 was raised for Luke and his family after a GoFundMe page was set up by a Survivor fan.
Speaking to WA’s Sunday Times, Luke explained his reason for shutting down the crowd-funding account once donations reached over $500,000.
“You get people saying they are waiting to be paid so they can donate,” he said, adding that he’d grown up “living pay cheque to pay cheque”.
“It speaks volumes about the kindness of these people who are donating. They have their own goals and their own bills, so they need to look after themselves.”
Luke was open from the start about his motivation behind joining Survivor for a second time, (he previously took part in 2017) explaining he was hoping to win the $500,000 prize money to help his family.
The reality star’s sons Nate and Lennox are both on the autism spectrum and require therapy sessions and his newborn daughter Madeleine was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis just weeks before he left for Fiji.
Following his request for the GoFundMe page to be shut down, Luke has revealed he will be donating the excess money – which totals around $50,000 to charity. He has also urged fans who still wish to send money to donate to to ‘Care Today, Cure Tomorrow’, a collaboration between Cystic Fibrosis WA and Telethon Kids Institute.
