Carrie Bickmore shared a touching throwback photo with her son Ollie at The Project desk, as she reveals she’s leaving the show to spend more time with her family.
The beloved TV host fought back tears as her son looked on in the crowd, with the Gold Logie winner telling viewers that leaving the show was the hardest decision she’s had to make in her professional life.
“I started the show when Ollie, my son, was one, and he’s 15 now, which is crazy. And I want to spend more time at home,” she told The Project.
‘I want to go to more piano training, cricket training. I want to have more family dinners. I watch the show at home with a glass of wine in hand. I just wanted to say a huge thank you.’

In a post on Instagram, Ms Bickmore wrote: ‘I started the show when Ollie was 1 and he is now 15! What’s crazy!’
“I’m looking forward to more family dinners and watching the show with my pajamas on and a glass of wine in hand.
“I’ll say more about the wonderful people I work with when it’s time to say goodbye… but for now I’ll enjoy whatever show I have until the end of the year.”
The mother of three shares two children, Evie and Adelaide, with her partner Chris Walker, a former producer of The Project.
Her eldest son Ollie is from her first marriage to her late husband Greg Lange, who died of brain cancer in 2010, three years after the birth of their son.
Ms. Bickmore has been a panelist on the show and on The Project desk for 13 years since the program first launched in 2009.
