Award-winning television producer and Carrie Bickmore’s former husband Chris Walker has snapped up an Eaglemont home for $3.22m.
Walker is the co-creator of the shows Hard Quiz, The Weekly with Charlie Pickering and Tomorrow, Tonight under the television production company Thinkative Television.
He was also managing editor for The Project and was married to host Carrie Bickmore, who he shares two children with, for more than a decade before splitting at the start of 2023.

Walker has purchased an expansive four-bedroom Eaglemont home, which the vendors hoped to sell for $2.95m-$3.2m.
Jellis Craig Ivanhoe and Rosanna agent Matthew Treacy said the main things the producer was looking for in a property was a large open plan living and dining area.
He added that the Eaglemont home he bought is on a large block of land, has a pool and in a good location.
“The extension was done quite tastefully; it’s quite beautiful,” he said.
Mr Treacy said many residential sales in Ivanhoe East and Eaglemont happened off market as they’re tightly held areas but very sought after, and are among Melbourne’s top suburbs where homeowners stay long term.
Spanning more than 900sq m, the home features a separate self-contained space to the residence with its own kitchen and powder room.
The main kitchen is fitted with a Miele appliances, billi tap and stone island bench, and the primary bedroom has an adjoining Carrera marble ensuite.
There are three other large bedrooms that share a travertine bathroom.
Other features of the abode are its heated mineral pool, two-car garage, workshop and under house storage.
