Carrie Bickmore is back!
After a shocking resignation from Channel Ten's The Project last year, beloved presenter Carrie Bickmore is making her long-awaited comeback to Australian screens. But it's not just any return; it's a heartwarming and charitable one.
On a sunny Sunday, the 42-year-old veteran presenter happily revealed to The Daily Telegraph that she will be gracing the small screen once again, this time on a special celebrity edition of Gogglebox Australia. The show is set to air later this month, and it promises to be an unforgettable event, featuring a star-studded lineup.
Carrie, alongside other well-known personalities including Fifi Box, the Irwin family and Dave Hughes, are coming together to raise awareness for the essential youth mental health service, ReachOut Australia.
"I already spend time on Fifi's couch watching TV and chatting, so this really is the perfect gig," Carrie exclaims with enthusiasm. It's a testament to her commitment to the cause and her genuine love for television.
Adding to the excitement, Fifi Box chimed in, saying, "How could I pass up the opportunity to hang out on the couch with my mate Carrie and watch some great television?" It's evident that these two charismatic TV personalities are excited to share their couch, their humour, and their insights for a great cause.
But the star power doesn't stop there. The celebrity edition of Gogglebox Australia will also feature the likes of presenter Julia Morris, Paralympian Dylan Alcott, MasterChef Australia judge Andy Allen, and singer Anthony Callea. With such a diverse and talented group of individuals, the show is sure to provide a fantastic mix of laughter, heartfelt moments and entertainment.
For fans eager to tune in, mark your calendars for Thursday, October 26, when Celebrity Gogglebox Australia will air on Channel 10 at 8:30 pm. It's an opportunity to witness some of your favourite celebrities in a more relaxed setting, reacting to various TV programs, and, most importantly, raising awareness for a vital cause.
Carrie's departure from The Project after a remarkable 12-year run left fans in shock and curiosity. Her decision to resign came after a three-month "sabbatical" with her family in London earlier in the year, only to return to the panel in July, and eventually step down in October. It was a turning point in her career and personal life, marked by significant changes.
Just three months after her exit from The Project, Carrie announced her separation from her partner of 11 years, Chris Walker. The heartfelt statement she shared on Instagram read, "It's with immense sadness that Chris and I have decided to separate." Despite the challenging time, their primary focus remains on parenting and providing unwavering support to their three children, Ollie, Evie, and Addie.
In May, it was heartening for fans to learn that Carrie had scored a role in the immensely popular Australian children's show, Bluey, in a voice-over role. This exciting opportunity not only demonstrated her versatility as a presenter but also provided a glimpse of her continuing passion for the world of television.
As we eagerly await her return on Gogglebox Australia, it's evident that Bickmore's presence on our screens brings a sense of warmth and connection. Her commitment to raising awareness for ReachOut Australia is a testament to her generous spirit and dedication to important causes.
For fans, this upcoming event is not just a couch session; it's a chance to witness the magic that happens when celebrities come together for a greater good, sharing their laughter and insights from the comfort of their couches.
