Carrie Bickmore's most embarrassing mum story wins, pants down
The Project’s Carrie Bickmore may have taken the top spot for most “embarrassing mum” story of all time – as she revealed she once answered the door with no pants on to one of her son’s friends.
Sharing the hilarious story with panellists Waleed Aly, Peter Helliar and Rachel Corbett on Wednesday night, the host had her colleagues in stitches as she recalled the moment she thought her 12-year-old son had come to the front door after forgetting something for school.
It came as the host sympathised with those who are currently quarantined after ACT Police warned them to “pop on some pants before they answer the door.”
“Being home in the nude is fine but honestly, legitimate question, not just in the cold, who is answering their door without putting something on?” an alarmed Rachel Corbett had asked her co-stars, before Peter Helliar ratted his co-star out.
“’I’ve said this before on this show … accidentally once,” Carrie replied.
“I thought it was Ollie coming back from school, he left for school and I was heavily pregnant and went to have a shower and I heard the gate click and saw a school kid in uniform, and I thought it was Ollie and I said, what have you forgotten, and it wasn’t him, it was one of his mates,” she went on, laughing.
But it gets worse, with the star going on to share that she continued to stand there, pantless, chatting to her son’s friend.
“I didn’t want to make it awkward, so I asked how he was going!” she said, adding: “We get along well, he can have a laugh about it.”
