1. Inside the rumour that Carrie Bickmore’s been poached by Nine to host Today with Karl Stefanovic.
For the past ten years, Carrie Bickmore has presented our nightly dose of news on Chanel 10’s The Project, but now there’s a rumour going around that Carrie could be moving to Chanel Nine.
An article published by The Daily Telegraph claimed Channel Nine had offered Carrie $1.5 million to co-host the Today show alongside Karl Stefanovic, who was previously axed in 2018.
“Despite Karl’s patchy history he is still seen as a star who can draw an audience. And Carrie is undoubtedly seen as a legitimate star of the future,” an inside source apparently told the publication.
“The question is whether [Nine] can align the planets and pull this deal off.”
The source, who conveniently asked not to be named, said Carrie believes it’s time to move on from The Project and “step up into the big leagues.”
