Lisa Wilkinson returns to The Project after month-long absence with little fanfare 

Lisa Wilkinson quietly returned to The Sunday Project this weekend. 

The television personality, who has been off air for a month, appeared at the desk during the live show. 

She also interviewed musician and songwriter Ryan Tedder, treating viewers to her singing voice as the pair worked on a song together. 

Those watching at home had mixed views, with some delighted at Lisa’s return while others were less than enthused. 

‘So disappointed to turn on channel 10 this evening and find Lisa Wilkinson on The Project. I thought we’d moved forward on her bulls**t. Sadly not,’ one tweeted.   

‘Let me give you my take on Lisa. I’m a Lisa fan, an 80s teenager and grew up with her editorialising in teen mags and in her corner recently,’ another said.

‘But I cannot reconcile her absence since the Logies and her reappearance tonight with nothing. It is unpalatable’.

‘Lisa Wilkinson. The worlds most hated. Good luck with that,’ another complained, while one more wrote: ‘Lisa is to be avoided at all times.’

‘Great to see Lisa Wilkinson back on @theprojecttv wonderful powerful woman. I’m joking. Nice try but Channel 10 should be ashamed of itself. Annoying as ever, and back getting paid once again to spruik garbage. Please just stop,’ another said.

One more complained: ‘I’ll tell you what’s causing the mental health issues. Watching The Project. WTF is the moron @Lisa_Wilkinson doing back on. Goodbye Project.’

‘Oh dear Lord. WTF am I watching? Lisa Wilkinson ‘jamming’ with One Republic? Finger on the pulse,’ someone else tweeted. 

Others were delighted, with one writing: ‘Welcome back to our screens’ while another said: ‘Yesss Queen, so happy you’re back!!’

‘I always look forward to see you on The Project Lisa,’ someone else said while one more agreed: ‘So happy you are back – Project not the same without you’. 

Lisa was originally expected to remain off the live panel until ‘mid-July at the earliest’. 

Wilkinson was taken off the air after her acceptance speech at the Logie Awards last month in which she spoke of an upcoming court case.

Last week, The Project host shared a photo of herself outside The Hotel California in Palm Springs and announced she was working on interviews for the show

The trial in question was rescheduled until October as a result.
