Bear Grylls is heading to Australia for his Never Give Up Tour.
And the British adventurer stopped into Aussie current affairs show The Project on Friday night, where he was asked his opinion on the outcome of the British election, which Labour won by a landslide.
'I don't know... I try to stay pretty out of politics, but I think, change is always good' the 50-year-old began cautiously.
'People don't like change, but is change is always good. I think there's lots of progress to be done and let's hope they do a good job,' he continued.
Grylls was optimistic, adding, 'It has been probably a long night for many people, but here we go, ready, ready.
'The only people who like change is a baby with a wet nappy. Most people are scared of it, but let's make it good.'
It comes after Rishi Sunak bade an emotional final goodbye to Downing Street today after leading the Tories to their worst ever election result - with Keir Starmer waiting in the wings to take over.
Flanked by clearly emotional wife Akshata Murty, the outgoing Prime Minister delivered his parting statement as he prepared to head for Buckingham Palace to formally tender his resignation to the King and bring an end to 14 years of Conservative government.

The weather held off - in contrast to when he called the election back in May - as he said he was 'sorry' and had 'heard the anger' of the country and the 'clear message' delivered via the ballot box.
'I have given this job my all. But you have sent a clear message, and yours is the only judgement that matters,' he said.
'This is a difficult day, but I leave this job honoured to have been prime minister of the best country in the world.'
Mr Sunak said he would resign as Tory leader once a replacement had been chosen. He also paid tribute to Sir Keir as a public servant, wishing him and his family well in their new duties.

A statement from Buckingham Palace a short time later said: 'The Right Honourable Rishi Sunak MP had an audience of The King this morning and tendered his resignation as Prime Minister and First Lord of the Treasury, which His Majesty was graciously pleased to accept.'
Sir Keir is basking in a massive general election win following a brutal night for the Conservatives - but Labour's victory is being dubbed a 'loveless landslide' and a 'super meh-jority'.
With nearly all constituencies having declared their results, Labour were found to have won barely one in three votes across the UK.
Polling experts highlighted how Labour's vote share of 33.8 per cent is likely to be less than any of Sir Tony Blair's general election victories in 1997, 2001 or 2005.
