The anniversary should have been a career highlight for Lisa Wilkinson, but a throwaway comment from Peter Helliar reportedly put a damper on the festivities.
The Australian reported that the comedian singled out Lisa as an outsider amongst his fellow co-hosts, Carrie Bickmore and Waleed Aly, when he said, "We love having you on our show."
The report went on to say that the brunette had ‘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,’ said the publication.
Peter, Carrie and Waleed reportedly stayed for the after-party, where they gave warm toasts to each other.
‘You are the show!’ Peter gushed about Carrie, who has been a panellist on The Project since it's 2009 launch.
‘You are the soul of this show and it is an honour to work alongside you,’ he stated.
Lisa has yet to comment on the claims, but is currently enjoying a holiday in Italy.
