Liz Ellis delivered a savage dig to Peter Helliar during The Project on Wednesday evening.
The pair were discussing Peter, 48, being crowned the 2024 king of the iconic Moomba festival when Liz, 51, made a cheeky jab at him.
Ellis and Helliar both competed on the 2023 season of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, with Liz being crowned Queen of the Jungle.
‘Pete, I always say if you can’t be king of the jungle then you might as well be king of Moomba,’ Liz quipped.
Helliar then admitted he found it heartbreaking to get eliminated from IAC last year and wore his Moomba crown as a consolation prize.
‘It was only when I received this crown today that I put the sting of losing the jungle crown behind me. Now, it’s all coming back to me,’ he said.

‘Being kicked out of the jungle on ANZAC Day when I was trying to raise money for Legacy, it’s all coming back to me now,’ he continued.
Liz then joked she wore her IAC crown much better than Peter wore his Moomba one.
Last year, Liz narrowly beat runner-up Harry Garside when competing on the grueling show.

In May, she reflected on her I’m a Celebrity win and time in the jungle.
Appearing on The Project, the former Netball star said she had the ‘best month of her life’ filming the hit show.
Liz, who took home a cool $100,000 for her chosen charity, said winning the show felt bizarre.

‘It was so surreal and the best part was the throne was so soft!’ she said with a laugh.
‘It felt surreal as we had no idea how we were being perceived at home, if people liked us.’
Meanwhile, Helliar was eliminated after three weeks in the jungle and finished seventh.
