That’s a claim being promoted today by Sportsbet. Earlier this week, the agency outrageously announced it “believes Lisa Wilkinson is odds on to leave amid rumours of a feud with other cast members”.
The bookmaker has priced Lisa as $1.85 to leave the show this year, while Waleed Aly is $3.00 to depart, and Carrie Bickmore and Peter Helliar are at $4.00 to leave.
“We find it hard to believe anyone could be feuding with Waleed or Carrie, but rumours gather momentum. Apparently all is not well with Lisa and her co-hosts and we’re tipping she’ll go sooner rather than later,” said Sportsbet’s Rich Hummerston.
The shocking claims come after the veteran journalist reportedly left the 10th anniversary of The Project early a throwaway comment made by co-host Peter Helliar left her reeling.
The Australian reported that the comedian “unwittingly” singled out Lisa as an “outsider” amongst his fellow co-hosts, Carrie Bickmore and Waleed Aly, when he said, “We love having you on our show.”
The publication said the former Today show host, 59, “shuffled offset” just half an hour into the 90-minute broadcast.
“Diary hears she was not sighted again, either during the 90-minute-plus extravaganza or the after-party,” said the report.
On the other hand, Peter, Carrie and Waleed— who have been working alongside each other on The Project since 2015— reportedly stayed for the after-party and gave heart-felt toasts to each other.
“You are the show!” Peter gushed about Carrie, who has been a panellist on The Project since it’s inception in 2009.
