Carrie Bickmore has opened up about the devastating moment she suffered a miscarriage and why she appeared on The Project straight afterwards. The TV host, who fronted the now-axed current affairs show for 13 years, invited former co-hosts Waleed Aly, Pete Helliar and Dave Hughes on Hit Network's Carrie and Tommy to discuss some of the show's most memorable moments over the years. During the roundtable discussion, the 44-year-old revealed that she suffered a miscarriage the day Lisa Wilkinson first appeared as a co-host on The Project in 2018. Despite receiving medical advice to skip the episode to get a dilation and curettage, the media personality insisted on filming, concerned what the public might think if she missed Lisa's first stint. 'I sat in front of a doctor - who said I needed to get a D&C - and I remember the words, "I can't because Lisa Wilkinson is making her first appearance on The Project tonight"' she recalled.

During the roundtable discussion, Carrie revealed that she suffered a miscarriage the day Lisa Wilkinson (left) first appeared as a co-host on The Project in 2018 She went on to say that the repercussions of missing the show felt more overwhelming than the consequences of not getting medical help due to the public's perception of her relationship with Lisa. She said: 'I sat on-air that night knowing I had a baby that had passed away inside of me, as I pretended to be laughing and having a great time… that was the power of the outside world.' Carrie later on confessed that she had the 'most fabulous professional relationship' with the former Today host, but the female duo were constantly depicted as rivals by the media. 'How embarrassing and how ridiculous. I'm mortified that was the sort of decision (I was making) but that's the power of pitting women against each other.' On Friday, an emotional Carrie struggled to hold back tears as she returned to The Project desk for the show's final episode. Carrie joined the current affairs program when it first launched in July 2009, then known as The 7PM Project. Carrie became emotional when discussing the impact the show had on both her career and personal life, particularly the boost it gave her Beanies for Brain Cancer charity. 'I wanted to raise a million dollars and I wouldn't have raised 25 million if it wasn't for you guys at home,' she said tearfully.

Then it was time to close the show, with Waleed offering Carrie his heartfelt thanks for returning to her old stomping ground. 'Thank you for your friendship,' Carrie replied, hinting that most of the tears were shed in the lead-up to the final episode. 'We caught up yesterday and it was so emotional being there - Pete [Helliar], you and everyone backstage,' she said, with tears beginning to well in her eyes. 'I've literally got friends for life from this show,' she added. 'It had such an impact on me personally and professionally.

BBC regrets not stopping Glastonbury livestream of Bob Vylan
LONDON, June 30 (Reuters) - Britain's BBC said it regretted not stopping the livestream of punk-rap duo Bob Vylan's set at Glastonbury after the performance included chants against the Israeli military, drawing condemnation from British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. The BBC has come under fire for allowing the performance to be shown live on Saturday as a Bob Vylan member led the crowd in chanting "death, death to the IDF," a reference to the Israel Defense Forces, following chants of "free, free Palestine." The BBC, which broadcasts the festival in southwest England, issued a warning on screen while the set was being streamed online, but said on Monday it should have gone further. The comments were "utterly unacceptable and have no place on our airwaves," the national broadcaster said in a statement. "The team were dealing with a live situation but with hindsight we should have pulled the stream during the performance," the BBC added. "We regret this did not happen." The BBC said it would look at its guidance around live events so that in future its teams were clear on what is acceptable content to be shown.
