Bah humbug! Peter Helliar reveals his VERY grim Christmas prediction on The Project as he discusses lockdown in New South Wales and Victoria

Peter Helliar made a shocking prediction about New South Wales and Victoria’s lockdowns during Tuesday night’s episode of The Project.

The 46-year-old forecasts that both states will most likely still be in lockdown all the way through to Christmas.

During the show, guess panelist Georgie Tunny asked hosts Waleed Aly, Carrie Bickmore and Pete, ‘Do you think we’ll be in a different spot by Christmas than we are now?’

‘I can’t imagine,’ Waleed, 43, replied. 

‘Not before Christmas, no,’ Pete added.  

‘I’m really fascinated – if Victoria can suppress these numbers down low, do they open the border to NSW if it stays where it is now before Christmas?’ 

‘Do you think Victorians will be happy to open the border? I think that they will eventually,’ he continued.

Pete’s prediction comes after he delivered an off-colour joke about New Zealand MP Carmel Sepuloni during Monday night’s episode of The Project.

The comedian played a clip where the Minister for Social Development and Employment’s Zoom call was interrupted by her son entering the room. 

In the footage, the young boy is seen holding an unusual carrot, which he was desperate to show his flustered mother, in the shape of a penis.

As the boy tried to show his ministerial mother his find, she desperately swatted his hand away.

After the clip ended, The Project cast – including hosts Carrie Bickmore and Waleed Aly – were seen in fits of giggles.

Peter then quipped that Sepuloni had insisted that her son return the carrot to the fridge.

‘Or the bedside drawer, whichever,’ he added, before sniggering. 

Peter’s comment implied that the shape of the carrot could make it a useful marital aide.

The Project airs Sunday to Friday at 6.30pm on Channel 10
