Jonathan LaPaglia seen for the first time since Survivor exit
Jul 2, 2025
Jonathan LaPaglia has been seen for the first time since news emerged he was fired from Australian Survivor after almost 10 years as host.
The 55-year-old appeared downcast as he went for a family stroll in Los Angeles on Tuesday, just hours after Daily Mail Australia revealed that LaPaglia was left blindsided after learning of his sacking via email.
LaPaglia, who had been the face of the franchise since 2016, was spotted on a family walk with his wife Ursula Brooks and their daughter Tilly.
The TV star showed off his muscular arms in a singlet and appeared deep in thought as he walked alongside Tilly, who held their dog's leash.
He completed his casual look with navy shorts and a pair of comfortable sneakers.
Daily Mail Australia exclusively revealed on Tuesday, the first LaPaglia heard of his sacking was in an email from producers at EndemolShine Australia, the company behind Survivor.
This was before anyone from Ten had the chance to pick up the phone.
The message pinged in his inbox after he had wrapped filming on his last season of Survivor, Australia v The World, which is slated to air later this year.
'He got an email first. That was the initial comms from EndemolShine,' a source said.
'Then a call came from Ten, but by then it was already done. It's really not how you treat someone who's been part of the show for almost a decade.'
