'Can't wait': Georgie Tunny announces exciting new TV role with Network 10 just days after leaving The Project
Former Project co-host Georgie Tunny has confirmed her next move, revealing she's staying with Network 10 as part of its new current affairs show, 10 News+. The 34-year-old presenter, who appeared on The Project for three years, joins the team just days after the long-running news program aired its final episode. "I've always been a fan of news delivered differently and am excited to be staying with the 10 family," Tunny said. "Can't wait to see where this new chapter leads!" 10 News+ launched Monday night, fronted by Denham Hitchcock and Amelia Brace - both formerly of Channel Seven - and replaces The Project as part of a sweeping schedule shake-up at the network. The revamped evening line-up now includes 10 News First at 5pm, followed by 10 News+ from 6pm, Sunday to Thursday. Tunny joins a robust team on 10 News+ that includes Angela Bishop, Ashleigh Raper, Bill Hogan, Brianna Parkins, Samantha Butler, Carrie-Anne Greenbank, and Claudia Vrdoljak. The move is a bittersweet one for Tunny, who broke down in tears as she farewelled The Project on air last Friday. "I can't actually look at you all, I'm so sorry, because you've just been an absolute dream to work with," she told co-hosts Waleed Aly, Sarah Harris and Sam Taunton. "There can be a lot said about the media industry and its cat fights and all of this, but this has been a family from the beginning and I know that you'll still be in my life. "You can't get rid of me. I'm a stalker." It's not yet clear whether Melbourne-based Tunny will relocate to Sydney for her new role, with 10 News+ filmed at the network's Sydney studios. The presenter, who is engaged to performer Rob Mills, began her journalism career at the ABC where she spent four years as part of the News Breakfast team. She later hosted News Flash segments for Foxtel's now-defunct streaming service Flash before joining The Project in early 2022 following Carrie Bickmore's extended leave. In addition to her new 10 News+ role, Tunny was recently announced as the narrator for Channel 10's local edition of House Hunters Australia, which premiered in May. "Narrated by The Project's Georgie Tunny, the stakes are high as buyers tour three homes, each offering a unique mix of pros, cons, and unexpected decisions," the network said at the time. The news follows confusion surrounding The Project's official social media accounts, which continued to post content even after the show's cancellation. A day after the finale, the program's Instagram account featured a playful post that joked, "The bosses really should have changed the password from Password1." The anonymous admin, calling themselves the show's "social media hero"- followed up with a caption poking fun at executives: "Look who is in charge now. So, one question: what should I do with these accounts?" On Wednesday, the account returned once again, posting a tongue-in-cheek update: "Still cancelled. Still curious," alongside a caption expressing sadness over having "no one to share silly news with anymore."

'Head first into the chaos': The Project star Georgie Tunny to narrate House Hunters Australia on Channel 10
Channel 10 has confirmed The Project star Georgie Tunny has officially signed on to narrate their upcoming series House Hunters Australia. Tunny, 34, joined The Project as a permanent host in 2022 during Ten's infamous panel shake up which saw the likes of Carrie Bickmore, Peter Helier and Tommy Little leave the program. In a statement, Ten announced they were doubling down on Tunny for the network's highly anticipated Aussie edition of House Hunters. House Hunters and its spin-off House Hunters International have been airing in the United States and internationally for over two decades and are known in the TV industry as one of the most cost-effective shows to make. Each episode sees a couple inspect three possible dream homes with the viewers left to decide which house the participants chose. 'Narrated by The Project's Georgie Tunny, the stakes are high as buyers tour three homes, each offering a unique mix of pros, cons, and unexpected decisions,' the network said in a statement. 'Whether it's debating modern kitchens versus heritage charm, clashing over pools and veggie patches, or weighing city life against coastal escapes, each episode is packed with big personalities and even bigger decisions.' While House Hunters International episodes usually take place in exotic destinations like Spain, Iceland and the Caribbean, Ten revealed that their version will feature exclusively 'Australian backdrops'. 'With stunning Australian backdrops, plenty of laughs, and the occasional wild card property that could change everything, every episode delivers the thrill of the hunt and the satisfaction of the final choice,' a spokesperson said in a statement. The announcement comes as the network continues to rebuild and revamp its programming lineup after wielding the axe to ageing franchises like The Bachelor and The Masked Singer. Earlier this month, the channel gave the greenlight for Sam Pang's late night show to return for a 'second run' of episodes just weeks after its debut in March. House Hunters Australia will premiere on Sunday, 11 May at 8.20pm on 10 and 10 Play, straight after MasterChef Australia, before moving to Friday nights at 7.30pm.
