Dancer, musician and reality TV star Lance Savali will co-host the upcoming season of Celebrity Treasure Island alongside Bree Tomasel.
Savali is stepping in as regular co-host Jayden Daniels is otherwise engaged with an acting commitment.
As well as performing internationally with the likes of Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez and Chris Brown, Savali was also a finalist on the 2021 season of Celebrity Treasure Island, then returned in 2023 for Treasure Island: Fans V Faves.
"I'm so excited to be co-hosting this season of Celebrity Treasure Island, and it's an honour to share this experience with my beautiful friend, Bree," said Savali.
"Everyone knows how I feel about Celebrity Treasure Island, it has a special place in my heart, and we all know it's gonna be a good season if I'm there, haha.
"I've obviously been here twice before, on the other side, but I'm also loving the fact I get to go back to my hotel room, have a shower, eat food, not worry about what's happening tomorrow, who's going home, what Bree's going to say, and not get annoyed with anyone. Let's do this, baby!"
On working with Tomasel, Savali commented that the pair each had "big personalities" and promised to "push the boundaries a little bit."
Tomasel is also thrilled to have Savali come on board as a co-host.
"I'm so excited, honestly. When I heard that it was going to be Lance, I sent him a message and we were just sending each other voice messages back and forth, being like, 'leshgo baby!'," she said.
"He's such a likeable, charismatic dude, and we have similar personalities, so I knew we'd have heaps of fun along the way."
The cast of season six of Celebrity Treasure Island will be announced on Sunday, 25 August, ahead of its airing on TVNZ 2 and TVNZ+.
