Carrie Bickmore provides update after moving family to the UK

Carrie Bickmore has opened up about her family’s life overseas, weeks after stepping away from The Project desk to embark on a new “adventure”.

Carrie Bickmore has provided an update on her family’s move to the UK, revealing they’re “settling in” after a whirlwind tour of Europe.

The Project presenter shared a picture of herself with husband Chris and their kids loaded up with bags at Melbourne Airport pre-departure, along with a caption with details of their trip so far.

“Our adventure is well underway. Can’t wait to share what we’ve been up to over the past few weeks travelling,” Bickmore wrote.

“We’ve packed it in [France, Switzerland, Austria] (perhaps too many stops for our little people!) and we’ve seen the most incredible places.

“Settling in to the UK now. #Britmorefamilyadventure or the Chriswolds’ family adventure as Chris calls it.”

Bickmore, her husband and their three kids have moved to the UK.

In March, Bickmore opened up about her decision to move her family to the UK for several months, explaining that it felt like the “last chance” to embark on a family adventure with her eldest son in tow.

Bickmore, 41, made the announcement on The Project last month, telling viewers she wanted to share “a little personal news.”

“In April I’m going to be taking a few months off The Project desk,” she began.

“[Partner] Chris and I and the kids are heading off on a family adventure together.

“We figure it’s never going to be the perfect time to go and 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.”

Shortly afterwards, Bickmore opened up further about her decision to temporarily move the family to the UK in a post to her Instagram account, revealing it was a move she and partner Chris Walker had “dreamed of for a while now.”

“One of the unexpected silver linings to come out of living through Melbourne’s lockdowns was the extended family time and we feel like this is our last chance to do something like this together before Ollie hits the pointy end of his schooling and no longer wants to hang out with us so … we are heading to the UK for a school term,” she explained.

Bickmore had Ollie, 14, with her late husband Greg Lange, who died in 2010 after a decade-long battle with brain cancer. She’s since had two daughters, Evie and Adelaide, with partner Chris.

Chrissie Swan and Georgie Tunny are filling in for Bickmore on The Project.

Bickmore said that after 13 years as a co-host of The Project, the break felt “a little like long service leave,” and explained that while she’d be absent from TV screens for several months, she’d still co-host the Hit network’s Carrie and Tommy Show each afternoon with Project colleague Tommy Little.

Since Bickmore’s departure,Project regulars Chrissie Swan and Georgie Tunny have stepped into the seat to replace her, joining Waleed Aly, Peter Helliar and a host of other big names on the panel to discuss the day’s news.
