'When they axed the show, Ten said it wasn't personal. They said it was just a strategic refresh, which we all know in TV speak means: "We don't know what we're doing, but we're not doing it with you."'
She went on: 'People are always asking me for the news... You know what? I've got some news for you.
'The economy is down. My wine consumption is up.'
She finished the segment, saying: 'I'm an unemployed celebrity, of course the Jungle is coming for me,' alluding to the Robert Irwin-hosted I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!'
Sarah shared the tongue-in-cheek skit to Instagram, which she accompanied with a hilarious caption.
'Turns out live-streaming myself sobbing while eating grated cheese straight out of the bag was too 'niche' for #OnlyFans,' she penned.
'So I'm pivoting to comedy,' she said, adding: 'On whatever you're streaming in 2026.'
Two weeks ago, Sarah cut a sombre figure as she arrived at Sydney airport in the wake of the Network Ten series' axing.
Sarah, who joined the Project in 2023, was spotted arriving back in Sydney from Melbourne looking almost incognito as she rugged up against the chilly Sydney weather in a long, dark grey wool overcoat.
Speaking to an awaiting photographer, Sarah revealed that she was eager to get back home.
'I'm good,' she said. 'I'm tired - glad to be home with my boys,' she smiled.
When asked her thoughts on The Project's demise, Sarah remained philosophical.
'It's TV, I guess,' she said with a shrug of the shoulders. 'We've had a pretty good run.'

Strange footage of 'bald' Beauty and the Geek star emerges from a month before she was accused of killing and beheading her boyfriend
A Beauty and the Geek star charged with the murder of her boyfriend was seen by Port Lincoln locals with her head shaved and acting oddly in the weeks beforehand. Police are still searching for the missing head of local man, Julian Story, after Tamika Chesser allegedly killed him, decapitated him, carried his head in a bag to an unknown location and dumped it. Police and SES are desperately searching cliffs and bush in Port Lincoln and the waters off the Eyre Peninsula as Mr Story's family are subjected to an agonised wait to bury their loved one. Two residents in the famous South Australian fishing port told Daily Mail Australia that Ms Chesser only arrived in town a few months ago and they only remembered her as having a shaved head. The 34-year-old, who finished second in the second series of Beauty and the Geek in 2010, visited KMart and other shops in central Port Lincoln, usually accompanied by a small dog. One shop worker said Ms Chesser 'acted normal, but she was, like, bald', however, the reality TV star has since been caught on CCTV or filmed by locals acting strangely. In one video, obtained by Channel 7, she is shown at a Port Lincoln hotel wearing a long dark wig and a hat, which she then ripped off as she yelled. In another video she is also sporting a shaved head while doing gymnastics on bars outside a coffee shop, and in a third she is standing bare-chested at the Port Lincoln War Memorial. Julian Story, 38, whose family still live in Port Lincoln, was living in a dingy rented flat along the town's Flinders Highway reportedly on his own until Ms Chesser moved in with him a few months ago. She appears to have been living in Port Lincoln since at least last December. Earlier this year, Mr Story was charged with two counts of dishonestly take property without consent, and last year was charged with two counts of disorderly behaviour. He also has historical charges of damage building or motor vehicle and driving charges including drive motor vehicle with cannabis in blood. It is unclear how Mr Story met the former cocktail waitress, whose full name is Tamika Sueann Rose Chesser, but it is believed she moved to South Australia from Queensland. Police allege that Mr Story was murdered on about June 17, but it was not until June 19 that neighbours of the unit she shared with him were alerted to a fire coming from within. Justin Ware said when he expressed concern at the smoke billowing out of the next door unit, that Ms Chesser 'reckoned everything was okay'. He went inside anyway and threw some water on what he thought was a pile of smouldering rags, but was allegedly Mr Story's headless remains. When emergency services responded, they found Mr Story dismembered and missing his head on the bathroom floor of the apartment, according to police. Police later obtained and released CCTV images and video which showed Ms Chesser walking three dogs and carrying a bag while apparently wearing a Hijab-style head covering. A neighbour expressed concern at the smoke billowing out of the next door unit and he he went inside and threw some water on what he thought was a pile of smouldering rags, but was allegedly Mr Story's headless remains Police charged her with murder and, after being released from Port Lincoln hospital, she was admitted to James Nash House, a forensic mental health care facility. Detective Darren Fielke told a press conference it was 'crucial' Mr Story's head was returned to his family so they could hold a funeral. In an effort to find Mr Story's head, officers are appealing to the public for help in tracking Chesser's movements in the week of the alleged murder, particularly between midnight on Tuesday night (June 17) and around the report of the fire at 3.30pm on Thursday afternoon (June 19). 'We know that Tamika did not drive a vehicle and regularly walked around the township of Port Lincoln,' Det Fielke said. Tamika's sister, Kiya-May Chesser, told Daily Mail Australia about the final phone call Tamika made before she was charged with murder. Kiya-May said her family were reeling from reports their loved one had been charged. 'Please report how my sister is in a mental psychosis,' she said, 'this is not her... She would never do these things.' In Tamika's last phone call to her sister, a week before the alleged murder, she was worried about one of her dogs because it had 'pooed on the floor'. Mr Story, who was 'not in a good mind space himself' had on earlier phone calls been 'going off in the background' when the Chesser family spoke with Tamika. 'There is more to this story,' Kiya-May said. She said 'a lot has happened' in Chesser's life since she appeared on Beauty and the Geek and 'in the past five years she's become very mentally ill'. In addition to the murder charge, South Australian police have charged Chesser with assaulting police and with knowingly performing an act or omission intending to result in human remains being less likely to be found for the purposes of concealing the commission of an offence relating to the human remains, court documents state.

Jeff Fenech breaks silence on his daughter's big baby announcement with NRL star Bradman Best - after saying he didn't want her to date a footy player
Aussie boxing legend Jeff Fenech has spoken of his pride after his daughter Kayla announced she and NRL star Bradman Best were expecting a baby. The former IBF and WBC title holder had previously stated that he didn't want his daughter to date a rugby league player but has now changed his tune after meeting the Newcastle Knights star. Kayla and Best announced that they were expecting a baby in 2026 on Instagram last week. 'Baby Best due in January 2026. We can't wait,' Kayla wrote on the social media platform. But despite his earlier comments, Fenech has now spoken of his delight at the news. 'They are so happy,' he told The Daily Telegraph. 'And I'm so proud of both of them. Whether it's a boy or a girl, the baby is going to have some great genes. 'And they'll be great parents. You know how much I love Kayla and Bradman is a great fella who will make a great dad.' Fenech said he went 'apes***' when he found out his daughter was dating a footy player. 'I'd always warned my girls about going out with league players,' he had previously said. He added: 'So when she rang and told me, I went off the deep end. I gave her a roasting. She kept trying to say, "Dad, he's a lovely guy". Kayla was telling me every day how nice he was.' But it his opinion has changed since meeting Best, with Fenech, one of the country's greatest fighters, now also having gone down to the gym to train with the footy star. 'Bradman knew I was angry, but he told Kayla, "I'll prove your dad wrong" - and he has,' Fenech added. Kayla has over 200,000 followers on Instagram and works as a business development manager for Ray White. He added that he was 'so proud' of the pair having also previously revealed that he and Best had gone down to the gym to train together After announcing the big news on Instagram last week, the pair received a heartfelt reception from many of their close friends and family. Her mother, Suzee, wrote in the comments: 'Omg I'm so proud of you both, can't wait to meet my gorgeous little bubba. 'Super excited to be on this next chapter/journey with you both. Luv u both.' Jeff has also previously sung Best's praises and lifted the lid on how their training went. 'Maybe he was trying to impress his future father-in-law,' Fenech said. He was very impressive when we trained. 'When we first met, you could tell he was a good young man. He's treating Kayla beautifully. Like a gentleman. They're very happy. And so is my wife Suzee and I. 'The only time I got dirty is when he scored two tries against my Parramatta side last weekend and beat us.'

James Packer's ex-wife Erica and MasterChef star Shannon Bennett call it quits after 18 months of dating: 'Was always going to be a challenge'
Erica Packer and Shannon Bennett have split after 18 months together. The former singer, 47, and celebrity chef, 49, are said to have parted ways earlier this year, with friends revealing that distance was a big factor in their breakup, according to Erica, who is the ex-wife of billionaire James Packer, currently resides in London after relocating with her three children to be near her sister. However, occasional MasterChef judge Shannon lives in Belongil Beach near Byron Bay, with his business Culinary Wonderland being based in Sydney. 'The distance was always going to be a challenge for them,' a friend of the couple told the publication. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Shannon had previously opened up about navigating their long-distance relationship. He revealed last year that his girlfriend was doing a lot of travelling to make things work between them. 'She's really good. (Erica is) going back and forwards a lot,' he told the Herald Sun. He went on: 'It's a fun and amazing adventure. It's amazing we haven't met earlier. We're loving life. 'I'm a very lucky man'. In April last year, Sunday Confidential reported that the couple had bought a house together just months after they first went public as a couple. The publication claimed the pair were 'going strong' and had decided to expand after living in Shannon's $2million beachfront property at Belongil Beach. Between them, the lovebirds share nine children, with Shannon sharing Phoenix, Hendrix, Xascha, Xanthe, Xahlia and Margaux with ex partner Madeleine West. Meanwhile, Erica co- parents children Indigo, Jackson and Emmanuelle with ex-husband James. Shannon and Erica were first spotted out and about together in 2023 over the Christmas holidays. Erica married former husband James in 2007 and they later split in 2013, but are on good terms as they co- parent their three children. Erica reportedly received a $100 million divorce payment, and purchased a family home in Los Angeles shortly after the break-up. In contrast, Shannon's relationship with ex-partner Madeleine West is not as amicable. Shannon, who rose to fame on MasterChef Australia, split from Madeleine in September 2018 after 13 years of dating. Madeleine later stated the separation process 'turned love toxic'.
