Project host Carrie Bickmore marked the show’s 13th anniversary by posting an adorable backlog photo on Instagram overnight, showing off the original lineup with a fresh face and a 2009.
Bickmore was flanked by original co-presenters Charlie Pickering and Dave Hughes in the ad image, wore skinny jeans and a shoulderless top and her hair sprayed in a scarf.
“Happy 13th birthday Project. I forgot they were making such small zippers, ”the photo captioned, and others were also eager to join the friendly roast.
“Was Hughesy dressed as an accountant in the eighties?” asked the comic Anthony “Lehmo” Lehmann.
“I think the kids borrowed their costumes from their parents for this session,” Grant Denyer commented.
As for Carrie’s look: “She barely covers your vagina!” he wrote Project colleague Rachel Corbett.
“That’s when fashion meant something. Happy birthday captions, ”Hughes said.
There are many more photos of The projectthe early years. We searched our archives to find a few.

The project first issued as The 19h project on July 20, 2009, with Bickmore, Pickering and Hughes in the host duties. Thirteen years later, Bickmore is the only original member of the panel left, and he recently took a well-deserved break, visiting the UK and Europe with his family for several months.
Making the announcement on the air in March, Bickmore explained that “I had wanted to do it for a long time,” but that for “many reasons, the timing has not been right.”
“But we think it’s never going to be the perfect time to go and it’s something we really want to do before my son starts his final years in school, so we’re going to do the second term in the UK.”
But after returning home this month, he confessed that the three-month trip had put his family to the test at times.
“Not everything went according to plan, and there were many times it was very, very difficult. Living far away with three children: the children are tough enough at the best of times, and living in a new place without your network support around … Addy (Bickmore’s three-year-old daughter, Adelaide) found it very difficult for a long time, ”he said. dit.
“She was a baby born around the Covid era and she likes being at home. Suddenly we dragged her on planes around the world.”
Meanwhile, there were tense scenes in last night’s episode The project, when former One Direction member Louis Tomlinson went on a live interview about his solo career. But the singer seemed visibly uncomfortable with questions about his former bandmates Liam Payne and Harry Styles, telling the panel “I see what you’re doing” and accusing his interviewers of “shit.”
