Huge change coming to The Project after mass exodus
The Project is reportedly opting for more youthful hosts following the shock resignation of their top dogs.
Carrie Bickmore, Lisa Wilkinson and Peter Helliar all announced they will be leaving the news program within weeks of each other.
Studio 10 host Sarah Harris has already been named as Carrie’s replacement but now the network may have new faces for the show.
”I did not see this coming. And I'm still trying to wrap my head around it,” Sarah said at the time of the announcement.
“It's such an incredible opportunity to step into some pretty huge shoes and be part of The Project's next chapter.
“I can't wait to learn more, and have some fun with Waleed and the team. This is one of the biggest jobs in TV, and feels like a once-in-a-lifetime gig.”
Bachelor stars Abbie Chatfield and Laura Byrne, and the ABC's Tony Armstrong have all been possible name drops to front Channel Ten’s news program along with remaining host Waleed Aly.
A strong possibility of Laura replacing Lisa has seen fans point out her appearance on the show in the previous weeks.
She is also constantly sharing similar snaps as to what Carrie does, showing off her outfit.
“Lisa, you’re all class and it has been a career highlight. The biggest privilege to sit at your desk,” Laura wrote on her podcast Life Uncut.
“As a viewer and lover of the show, you will be so very missed.”
Lisa responded: “I absolutely loved doing the show with you. I am so thrilled you are now a part of The Project family.”
