Robert "Bob" McCarron OAM (born July 1950 in London, England)[1] is an Australian medic and special effects prosthetic makeup artist who has worked on many international movies and television shows. He is most recognisable from his on-screen appearances as "Medic Bob", in the UK series of I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here! and as "Dr. Bob", in the German version, Ich bin ein Star – Holt mich hier raus!.[2]

He was the medical supervisor for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Sydney 2000 Summer Olympics.

Ahead of the 22nd British series of I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! in 2022, it was announced that Bob would not be returning, as he was reportedly too busy with other work commitments, and was replaced by another medic/doctor off screen. Bob is still present on the German version, appearing in the 2023 season.[3]
