The Project reveals which star is not returning for 2025
The Project has revealed which major star of the panel show will not be returning for the 2025.
According Network Ten, comedian Michael Hing will be leaving the program in 2025 after first joining the cast in 2023.
Ten confirmed his departure in a statement, saying, "For the last two years, we have loved Michael Hing’s quick wit and hosting hijinks as a regular on The Project."
"We wish Michael every success for his nationwide stand-up tour and look forward to welcoming him back to the desk between gigs in 2025."
Hing also shared the news on social media, explaining that he is leaving The Project in order to focus on his stand-up comedy tour of Australia, which runs from February to July.
He wrote, “Unlike last year (when I didn’t do a tour), this year I’m not eagerly (terrifiedly) awaiting the birth of our first child. And now that we have said child, I’m embarking on the biggest tour I’ve ever done: Perth, Adelaide, Canberra, Gold Coast Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney (not exactly a big effort) and Newcastle."
“I should mention as well, with the size of the tour, and my ongoing commitment to not being entirely absent from the baby’s life, I’m going to take a step back from being on The Project next year.”
The network also revealed that The Project panel would be reduced to three co-panelists on Fridays, commencing from February.
