The Project’s Carrie Bickmore is forced to apologise to viewers for her erratic on-air behaviour and multiple embarrassing blunders: ‘I lost the plot’
Carrie Bickmore admitted to having ‘lost the plot’ after making multiple blunders while hosting The Project on Tuesday night.
The 41-year-old stammered and stumbled over her lines several times, with her fellow panelists remarking on her strange and erratic behaviour.
After the chaotic broadcast, she posted a compilation of her gaffes on Instagram and apologised to viewers for her mistakes.

‘I lost the plot on tonight’s show… and this is only a small sample of the mayhem… I blame [co-host] Kate Langbroek. Sorry, everyone!’ she wrote.
Her first mistake came when she repeatedly slipped over her words while trying to introduce Guardian Australia political reporter Amy Remeikis.
‘She joins us ow – now,’ she stuttered. ‘Sorry, I’m really struggling tonight!’
She later asked Remeikis: ‘Amy, what do you think – do you think this has the capacity to see some big head roll – some big heads roll?’
After this gaffe, she buried her head in her hands in embarrassment.

Comedian Peter Helliar later joked that an alarm in the background of the taping was coming from the ‘minibar’ in Bickmore’s dressing room.
Daily Mail Australia is not suggesting Bickmore was under the influence of alcohol.
Also during the show, Bickmore blurted out to Langbroek and guest panelist Dr Chris Brown that she’d ‘never found a lost dog’.

Bickmore burst out laughing, which prompted Helliar to joke again: ‘Our producers are telling us pre-show drinks are cancelled! No more, no more.’
Langbroek, who was filling in for host Waleed Aly, wrote on Instagram after the show: ‘I’m still not sure what happened tonight.’
Fox FM presenter Fifi Box commented, ‘This is sooooooooooo funny,’ while KIIS FM host Jackie ‘O’ Henderson added: ‘This is the best, Carrie!!!!’
