Carrie Bickmore’s ex-partner responds to Tommy Little romance rumours

Carrie Bickmore’s ex-partner Chris Walker appears to have responded to rumours the former Project presenter is ‘growing close’ to her radio co-host Tommy Little.

The ABC TV producer shared a bizarre image on Instagram late Wednesday night of Little, 38, gatecrashing a family photo shoot from 2018, when Bickmore, 42, was pregnant with the couple’s third child.

Walker did not caption the post, and deleted it almost six hours later.

His unusual post was screenshotted and reposted by the gossip account Influencer Updates AU, which asked its followers: ‘Theories what this means?’

One explanation is that Walker was laughing off reports of Bickmore and Little’s friendship, which has become the subject of much speculation in the months since the couple announced their separation in January.

Bickmore and Little have co-hosted the Carrie & Tommy radio show for the Hit Network for years, and are known for their on-air chemistry.

The image Walker shared was from a tongue-in-cheek photo shoot from November 2018.

The photo showed a pregnant Bickmore posing with Walker and their two children, Ollie and Evie, but things became awkward as Little was standing right behind Walker and squeezing his buttocks.

At the time, the Channel 10 personality was expecting the couple’s daughter Adelaide, who is now four years old.

The shoot raised money for Unicef Australia’s Save a Newborn Appeal. At least one company, Little Innoscents Organic, donated $20,000 to the charity.

‘This is what happens when you let Tommy [organise] a beautiful photo shoot to celebrate Carrie’s pregnancy,’ Hit FM captioned the photo at the time.

It comes as Bickmore is said to have grown close to her radio co-host Little, who is also single following his break-up with ex-girlfriend Natalie Kyriacou in 2021.

Little rushed to the mother of three’s side in January when she confirmed her split from Walker, leading insiders to speculate their friendship could evolve into something more.

In recent months, Little has shared several gushing tributes to Bickmore on Instagram, and in one post called her the ‘best in the business’ who ‘lifts up everyone around her and makes them look good’.

Ahead of her last day on The Project last November, Little treated her to a private helicopter ride across Melbourne.

He is often seen close to her at glitzy events, including the 2022 Australian Commercial Radio Awards (ACRAs) last October, where he didn’t leave her side even as guests got up from their tables and mingled with others. 

The duo are regularly seen posing for cosy selfies on social media, which has prompted curious fans to question whether romance is on the cards. 

‘You guys make a lovely couple,’ one recently commented on a photo of the pair.

‘Get a room already, you two,’ another said.

It’s not hard to see why fans are hoping for love to blossom, as Little and Bickmore are already known for their electric chemistry.

A year later, the pair began co-hosting Hit Network’s Melbourne drive show in 2017, and immediately gained a cult following thanks to their entertaining and organic banter.

In November 2022 it was confirmed the show had been renewed for another four years. 

Carrie announced her split from her longtime partner Walker in January this year via Instagram, saying the pair are focused on co-parenting their three children.

The news came just one month after Bickmore hosted her last episode of Channel 10’s The Project after stepping down because she wanted to spend more evenings at home with her family. 

Almost a year earlier, in February 2021, it was reported that Little had split from his ex, social media manager Natalie.

At the time, the couple vanished from each other’s social media feeds and he was spotted on dating app Tinder.
