Carrie Bickmore shares incredible throwback images of her wild 2000s hairdos on The Project in the wake of show’s axing
Carrie Bickmore recently wrote an emotional message about The Project, following its cancellation by Network 10 on Monday, after being part of it for 16 years.
On Thursday, the former radio host (age 44), who parted ways with the program in 2022 following a 12-year tenure, shared an Instagram post reminiscing about her memorable moments during her stint on the show.
Additionally, Carrie added a humorous retrospective video montage as a tribute to The Project’s crew, both old and new – even sneaking in a brief moment from the show’s debut back in July 2009.
Instead of choosing flattering moments, the lively emcee opted to highlight some awkward blunders, embarrassing show parts, and even some less-than-stellar hairstyles (her own included) for her tribute.
In addition, she added a heartfelt old video snippet from a special tribute section for her deceased husband, Greg Lange, who passed away from brain cancer at the age of 35 in 2010.

I hold a great deal of admiration for every host who has graced the chair throughout the years. Particularly, those who are currently serving.
Each day, I’m humbly amazed by the incredible ingenuity and hard work that goes into transforming our daily news program. Behind the scenes, there are countless unsung heroes who tirelessly put in their efforts day after day, and it is these unseen faces who truly deserve our recognition and appreciation.

‘Remember the show fondly. It takes guts to try something different.
‘(I have thousands more memories, this is literally what I found quickly in my camera roll).’
