The Project’s Lisa Wilkinson makes VERY awkward joke about secret tattoo

The Project’s Lisa Wilkinson makes a VERY awkward joke as she asks AFL star Barry Hall to show her the secret tattoo on his bottom

Lisa Wilkinson left her co-stars feeling awkward during The Sunday Project. 

The panel had been discussing bad tattoos after rocker Joel Madden had appeared to discuss the new season of the show Ink Masters.

Asking her co-stars if they had any secret tattoos, Lisa turned to guest panelist, AFL star Barry Hall, insisting, ‘you do’.

 ‘I’ve got one that everyone knows about… that’s on my arm,’ Barry replied. 

‘But I also have one that’s top secret, only my wife knows about it. On my right butt cheek, I’ve got the worst tattoo you’ve ever seen.’

‘That’s very selfish because you will never see it!’ Lisa complained, and Barry answered: ‘I will never see it and I continue to suffer because my nude modelling career declined rapidly.’

‘So what’s bad about it?’ Lisa shot back. 

'I've got one that everyone knows about… that's on my arm,' Barry (pictured) replied. 'But I also have one that's top secret, only my wife knows about it. On my right butt cheek, I've got the worst tattoo you've ever seen

‘The colours, it’s purple and yellow, and it’s just the shield of I don’t even know what it is and I’m thankful I don’t have to look at it,’ Barry answered. 

Comedian Susie Youssef then asked, ‘Are you revealing it this evening or…’

‘Negative. Negative!’ a flustered Barry replied. 

Lisa then leaned over towards Barry’s backside and attempted to illicit a look at the tattoo.   

‘You almost could… can I reveal what’s happening under the desk tonight?’ she said as she leaned down.

Co-star Hamish Macdonald tried to end the exchange, and said to Barry: ‘I’m so sorry about my colleague.’

Lisa tried again, quipping: ‘Gee I wish everyone could see…’ before finally dropping the awkward subject.  

Not everyone found it funny, with one viewer writing on Twitter: ‘@Lisa_Wilkinson If man had act towards a woman like you acted like towards Barry tonight on @theprojecttv, he would have been called a misogynist and sexist no matter how innocent and funny it was intended to be’.
