Lisa Wilkinson has been under a lot of scrutiny this week, following revelations she allegedly stormed out of work at Channel Ten’s The Project, after apparently feeling insulted by a comment made by Peter Helliar. Now she has responded to the frenzy – in a very classy way.

According to reports, The Project team were enjoying a 10th anniversary discussion when Peter, seemingly unwittingly, singled out Lisa as an outsider amongst his fellow co-hosts, Carrie Bickmore and Waleed Aly – telling Lisa in front of assembled co-workers, ‘We love having you on our show.’
According to a report in The Australian newspaper, Lisa ‘shuffled offset’ after just 30 minutes of the hour and a half broadcast.
‘Diary hears she was not sighted again, either during the 90-minute-plus extravaganza or the after-party,’ reported the publication.
In contrast, Peter, Carrie and Waleed reportedly stayed for the after-party, where they toasted each other.
‘You are the show!’ Peter gushed about Carrie. ‘You are the soul of this show and it is an honour to work alongside you.’
In the wake of publication of details of Lisa’s alleged upset, the star has responded in the best way possible – avoiding adding fuel to the fire, and posting evidence she’s living her best possible life, on holiday with her husband Peter Fitzsimons in gorgeous Sicily.
‘Yesterday’s lemon (and coffee and pistachio and strawberry and almond and chocolate) granita pitstop spot at Taurmina, @belmondgrandhoteltimeo in the shadow of the grand ruins of the town’s magnificent Greek Theatre dating back to the 2nd Century BC,’ gushed Lisa of her blissful break, on Instagram.
‘Today we work off all that sugar (we had A LOT of granita!) by climbing that baby there on the left, Mt Etna….Europe’s highest and most active volcano.
We’re goin’ in…’
Revealing further stunning photos, Lisa raved, ‘Made our way up to heaven today….actually, it was a gorgeous little medieval village called Castelmola high, high above the coast behind Taormina in Sicily, but it sure felt like heaven…’
Lisa had earlier given indication that she was fine with everything at work, by posting approvingly of The Project’s anniversary on social media, with a behind-the-scenes photo from the 10th birthday celebration episode, writing ‘Ten years of @theprojecttv And I’ve never felt more at home than with these amazing humans…’
