Carrie Bickmore bids farewell to The Project
An emotional Carrie Bickmore has farewelled the team and fans of The Project after 13 years.
Dressed in a stunning red gown, Carrie fronted the cameras one last time for her farewell episode on November 30.
The 41-year-old made an emotional final speech thanking the team, her family, and viewers for their support.
“Is it too late to change my mind?” a teary eyed Carrie joked as confetti dropped from the ceiling.
Before she could continue, special guests Rove McManus, Fifi Box and Rachel Corbett also shared lovely words about her before a montage of Carrie’s work, particularly about brain cancer, played.
“I will forever be thankful to The Project, but also to our viewers at home for your support and for making our foundation what it is today,” Carrie continued.
“We have now raised over $20 million and that would not have happened if it weren‘t for this place, if it weren’t for Greg and it weren’t for you watching at home – so thank you very, very much.”

She went on to thank her partner Chris Walker and her three children Ollie, Evie and Adelaide, and her parents who were sitting in the audience.
“To Chris. Thank you for everything. Your guidance and advice over the years, your amazing production skills…” she continued.
“This show has given us so much. We wouldn't have our beautiful little prophets if it wasn't for The Project.”
To her children she said: “You guys are my world. Love you guys.
“To my parents, and my friends and family. It certainly takes a village to help a mum of three do a job like this on TV and I couldn't have done it without all of you. So thank you so much for picking up the pieces.”
