The Project star Sarah Harris took a moment to apologise to Channel 10 bosses during Tuesday night’s episode of the panel show.

Harris was spekaing about crocs with co-stars Waleed Aly, Tom Cashman and Kate Langbroek when she made an X-rated confession.

The panel were discussing news that Queensland’s male crocodiles “are being driven into a mating frenzy by the sound and vibrations of Chinook choppers flying overhead” when things took a lewd turn.

The owner of a crocodile farm in the state recently revealed that their mating season had started especially early this year due to being sparked accidentally by the armed forces.

Harris explained: “That’s right – helicopters are making the crocs horny. No, easy way to say that. Experts aren’t sure why, but they think the helicopter may have sounded like a thunderstorm – which can often get the reptiles feeling randy.”

Her co-stars then questioned how experts can even tell when the crocs are “aroused,” and it sparked a cheeky confession from Harris.

“I’ve been doing a bit of a deep dive,” laughed the host, before turning directly to the camera to speak to Channel 10 bosses.

“Apologies to Channel 10 because I’ve made some unsavoury searches on my work phone this afternoon.”

Waleed then joked that Harris was just making excuses, teasing: “Nice cover, Sarah.”

Harris didn’t stop there though, and she went on to imitate the sound the “horny crocs” make by slapping the palm of her hand against the table over and over again.

“The thudding is what they think the helicopters are,” explained Cashman.

“So have some empathy. Imagine when a helicopter went over you heard a male human sex noise.”

Longbroke then chimed in, laughing: “What would that sound like?” to which Cashman responded: “Probably, ‘Oops. Sorry,’ or ‘Please’”.

John Lever, who owns Koorana Crocodile Farm in Rockhampton, Queensland, recently told the ABC that the bulls among his stable of about 3,000 crocodiles were sent into a mating frenzy when a Chinook helicopter came in low over the farm.

“All of the big males got up and roared and bellowed up at the sky, and then after the helicopters left they mated like mad,” he revealed last month. “There’s something about the sonic waves that really gets them stirred up.”
