Lisa Wilkinson responds to rumours she left The Project

Lisa Wilkinson has responded to rumours that she left Australia for the US following her disastrous Logies speech which saw the Brittany Higgins case delayed. 

The Project co-host had not appeared on the show since mid-June and was not due to reappear up until August, The Australian’s Media Diary reported. 

However, Wilkinson has revealed she is in America for a series of interviews with musicians and actors. 

She shared an image on Instagram standing outside Hotel California in Palm Springs putting all rumours to rest. 

“Plenty of room at the Hotel California! I’m here in the US for some very special @theprojecttv interviews. Can’t wait to share more…,” she captioned the image. 

Once her interviews are completed, Wilkinson is then expected to undertake some leave which was reportedly booked before the Logies speech. 

During her absence, Studio 10’s Sarah Harris, Flash presenter Georgie Tunny and Sydney radio presenter Rachel Corbett will take turns appearing on The Project. 

Wilkinson had disappeared off screens and was not appearing regularly. 

Last week, she presented her interview with Michael Klim and before that she appeared in The Today Show’s 40 year celebration on air. 

“A big piece of my heart with always stay right there with the Today show family and all the years we spent together at breakfast,” she said in the pre-recorded piece as she blows a kiss.
