“In April I’m going to be taking a few months off The Project desk,” Carrie said, before adding that her partner Chris Walker and her kids are heading “on a family adventure together”.
She went on to explain that she and Chris have been wanting to make the trip for a while but the “timing hasn’t been right”.
“We figure it’s never going to be the perfect time to go,” she said. “It’s something we really want to do before my son starts his final years at school so we’re doing term two in the UK. So I will be off for a couple of months.”
Carrie also spoke about how family time dwindled after lockdown came to an end, revealing that her son Ollie missed being in each other’s corners.

Following the announcement, Carrie took to Instagram to share further details about her sabbatical, writing: “After 13 years on the The Project desk it feels a little like long-service leave.
“I’ll miss you all, but you’ll still hear me across the airwaves every afternoon on the @carrietommyshow and I’ll be back on The Project desk in a few months 💋.”
Carrie also shares two children, daughters Evie, six, and Adelaide, three, with Chris.
