Carrie Bickmore spends a lot of time being prepped, primped and prepared for live TV every weeknight.
But The Project co-host has revealed there’s a certain beauty treatment she avoids at all costs: getting a massage.
Carrie questioned why she dislikes massages in a column for the Daily Telegraph’s Stellar section on Sunday.
“Maybe it’s the stranger running their hands all over me. Or the waterfall music making me need to pee. Or perhaps it’s the headache I get from squashing my head into that tiny hole in the bed?” she wrote.
“Whatever it is, it’s not working for me.”

The 35-year-old acknowledged that most people enjoy getting massages.
“I get them in theory. Time away from the busyness of life, an hour to relax – they sound perfect. But I never quite feel relaxed.”
“I know I’m in the minority. It seems everyone loves massages. I often buy massage vouchers as gifts and the recipients are always delighted.”
It seems like maybe the pressure of being among the few who dislike them was starting to get to Carrie though, because she convinced herself to give them another try.
“On reflection, perhaps I am the problem. Maybe I just need to learn to chill out and let go (and pee before the massage). I really could do with some hot rocks and soothing hands.
“I’m going to book a massage.”

Nup, hate 'em. I don't enjoy massage at all and only ever go if I have an injury and even then it's a last resort. Not at all relaxing for me.
I've met a couple of women who really don't enjoy facials.
Yeah ha ha, no I don't mean *those kind you dirty little so-and-so.
I mean the beauty therapy skin treatment kind. I love them personally. Would be happy to get a voucher for one on Christmases, birthdays, anniversaries etc.
