Wilkinson quit The Project in November 2022 and despite remaining on the Ten payroll until the end of 2024, she hasn’t appeared on the channel since.

Despite her lengthy hiatus from the network, Wilkinson has remained in the public eye through her role in a highly publicised defamation trial.

Friends of Wilkinson say her court appearances played in her favour by giving the TV star ‘a constant stream of publicity’.

‘Yes, she’s been off air for a while but I don’t think anyone will have forgotten her,’ former Seven and Nine executive Peter Meakin told the Weekend Australian.

‘I’m sure her loyal followers will remain loyal.’
