The 59-year-old has taken to Instagram to set the record straight, with a photo taken during her recent European holiday with husband Peter Fitzgibbons

‘The pic above is one Pete [FitzSimons] took of me on holidays just a week ago. Do I look like someone ‘fleeing’ anything?’

‘Do I look like I feel like ‘an unwanted stepchild’ as this story so ridiculously described me (with apologies to all the beautiful stepchildren out there)?’ 

‘I’m old enough and been in this business long enough to take the hits,’ she wrote, adding: ‘but I figure if I don’t call this BS right now, this story will go on under a bunch of different headings for months to come.’ 

Meanwhile Sportsbet claims ‘Lisa Wilkinson is odds on to leave amid rumours of a feud with other cast members’.

The bookmaker has priced Lisa as $1.85 to leave the show this year, while Waleed Aly is $3.00 to depart, and Carrie Bickmore and Peter Helliar are at $4.00 to leave.

‘We find it hard to believe anyone could be feuding with Waleed or Carrie, but rumours gather momentum. Apparently all is not well with Lisa and her co-hosts and we’re tipping she’ll go sooner rather than later,’ said Sportsbet’s Rich Hummerston.

The wild speculation has its roots in a report that she stormed out of The Project’s 10th anniversary celebrations.
