Too bad if you tuned in to The Project last night at the wrong time – you probably would have thought co-host Carrie Bickmore was announcing her pregnancy with her third child.
But unfortunately, the exciting news was all just a farce!
Her co-hosts made it into a cheeky joke based on tabloid rumours that she was expecting, and they made the big ‘announcement’ right after Bickmore read out the news that Netflix binges kill sex drive in couples.
Then Peter Helliar waltzes in carrying a big bunch of flowers, saying: “Speaking of those kinds of activities — big announcement. Big congratulations in order. Carrie Bickmore, baby number three on its way!”
“I hope you don’t mind us giving away it’s a boy,” he continued as the crowd cheered.
But Bickmore jumped in, saying that it wasn’t true and that she had “a big focaccia for lunch.”
Bickmore laughed it off but was quick to shut down the pregnancy rumours.
“If you’re watching at home, mum, no, OK. I just started sleeping! God, that would be a nightmare!” she said.
Carrie has two children with her husband Chris Walker, an eight-year-old boy Oliver, and a one-year-old girl, Evie.
