And in a surprising move the 42-year-old Lego Masters favourite has announced he will be hosting a special episode of the SBS hit on May 29.
Alone Australia: The Reunion will feature Hamish in an intimate chat with the cast of season two.
The episode will go to air immediately after the winner of the dramatic survival series is announced on Wednesday.
The gruelling show sees 10 survivalists dropped into the remote expanse on New Zealand’s South Island, where they must outlast their competition for the chance to win $250,000.

And the reunion will be the first chance the cast has had to share with each other their experiences since enduring the hardships of the New Zealand wilderness.
Fans can also expect to see images and clips not shown during this year’s blockbuster season.
Meanwhile, Hamish admits that he is no survivalist, even if he is a huge fan.
‘I, like everyone, get so invested in every season of Alone whilst watching smugly from the comfort of my own couch,’ he said in an announcement.

‘I have so much respect for the contestants and so many things I want to ask them as a viewer, again, from a couch but this time one in a studio with them.
‘I hope our conversation has far more trouts than eels in it and if you don’t get that reference maybe don’t watch,’ he joked.
The program, which has been a massive hit for SBS, has been billed as the most brutal and authentic reality series in history as the contestants are left alone in the wild and must film themselves.
The first season of Alone Australia made headlines last year after it became the SBS network’s most watched original series ever.
Based on a US format, the Aussie version, which saw its first season filmed in Tasmania, scored more than a million viewers for half of its 11 episodes.
The season one finale saw Gina Chick crowned the series winner, after braving the elements to survive in the grueling wilderness for a staggering 67 days.
