"New beginnings": Lisa Wilkinson's rumoured comeback
Lisa Wilkinson reportedly has plans to launch a new career in 2025, over two years after her exit from The Project in November 2022.
A close friend of the veteran TV presenter reportedly told Woman's Day magazine that Wilkinson is looking into the world of politics.
"She's 65 and ready for a new challenge - to try her hand in politics. She's always had a keen interest in being on the front foot to her local community," the close friend reportedly said.
"She may well just run for a seat in the upcoming election."
A few days into the new year, Wilkinson shared a cryptic post to social media revealing that she was ready for "new beginnings".
This comes after her contract with Channel 10 finally lapsed on New Year's eve. Rumours suggest that Wilkinson was on a salary of $1.7 million per year, and up until that point was still receiving a monthly cheque from the company.
In the two years since vanishing from Aussie screens, Wilkinson has been trying to slowly build back her public image with quiet appearances at a handful of red carpet events.
Her recent attendance at the launch of wellness brand Vegamour's new GRO+ Advanced Hair Serum at Bondi Icebergs, is Wilkinson's latest effort to "ease back into the Sydney social scene" according to the Daily Telegraph.
It follows rumours that the former TV host was keen to get back to delivering more "blockbuster interviews" in the New Year, according to a source in the Weekend Australian.
