Georgie Tunny has already lined up her next broadcast gig less than a week since The Project’s final episode went to air.

The Project co-host Georgie Tunny has announced her next TV gig less than a week since the program hosted its final episode.

Tunny, 34, is officially joining Channel 10’s new offering 10 News+, which has replaced The Project, from today.

“I’ve always been a fan of news delivered differently and am excited to be staying with the 10 family,” Tunny said.

“Can’t wait to see where this new chapter leads!”

The journalist, who began her career at the ABC, joined Ten after Carrie Bickmore took extended leave from The Project in early 2022.

Georgie Tunny is joining 10News+ after The Project was axed.

Tunny first joined Ten in 2022.

Addressing viewers alongside co-host Waleed Aly on Friday, Tunny broke down in tears as she said goodbye to the program and her colleagues.

“I can’t actually look at you all, I’m so sorry, because you’ve just been an absolute dream to work with,” Tunny said.

“There can be a lot said about the media industry and it’s cat fights and all of this, but this has been a family from the beginning and I know that you’ll still be in my life.”

10News+ launched Monday night with anchors Denham Hitchcock and Amelia Brace, both former Seven employees, at the helm.

It saw a softer debut with a reach of 769,000 and a total TV national average audience of 291,000.

When announcing its fresh news offering, a Ten spokesman said the show would deliver “comprehensive analysis, trusted reporting, and long-form investigative journalism.”

Tunny joins the wider team including Angela Bishop, Ashleigh Raper, Bill Hogan, Brianna Parkins, Samantha Butler, Carrie-Anne Greenbank and Claudia Vrdoljak
