Carrie Bickmore’s ex Chris Walker has been spotted commenting on dating advice columnist’s Jana Hocking’s photo.

Hocking posted a photo of herself in a bright pink dress alongside Candice Warner. Warner, of course, is a retired iron woman and is married to cricketer David Warner.

Hocking shared a sweet snap of the pair and posted a loving tribute to her friend.

“Some weekends just fuel your soul and this was one of them! Happy Birthday Candice Warner. I’m ridiculously chuffed that you came into my life,” she wrote.

This is where Bickmore’s ex enters the picture.

Walker commented under the post a flame emoji, a flame emoji is typically used as a way to convey you find something or someone hot.

Hocking didn’t respond to the piping hot emoji.

This isn’t the first time Walker has been spotted leaving comments on famous Australian women’s social media posts.

As if we didn’t need further proof that the Australian media circle is minuscule, Walker’s been spotted engaging online with reality star Abbie Chatfield.

Chatfield, 28, posted a photo of herself in workout gear including a crop top and matching black shorts.

“A non-work related post as a lil treat,” she wrote as she posed on her knees.

Walker, 42, commented by posting two flexing bicep emojis in support. Chatfield didn’t reply.

Walker and Chatfield do know each other. She had appeared on Walker’s Brains Trust podcast where she discussed her iconic collaboration with the sex toy brand Vush to create one of Australia’s best-selling vibrators.

Walker, who also works in television most recently as a producer at the ABC, has kept a fairly low-profile since his break-up with Bickmore.

The power couple announced they were over on Instagram in January after more than a decade together.

“While this is a tough time, our focus is to concentrate on parenting, loving and supporting our three amazing children, Ollie, Evie and Addie with everything we’ve got. They are doing great,” they wrote on Instagram.

The news was a shock because the pair had just returned from an overseas holiday in Europe with the three kids.

They’d spent several months in Europe and Bickmore had taken time off from her high profile gig on The Project.

The trip was scandal-free apart from the fact that some of Walker’s ABC co-workers saw him naked after he stripped off for a shower and forgot to turn off his camera following a work Skype call.

The incident has since been labelled “unintentional”.

As soon as the break-up was announced romance rumours quickly started.

One that has lingered is that Bickmore might be dating her radio co-host comedian Tommy Little.

Bickmore’s never commented on the love rumours but Walker didn’t help matters when in March he posted an odd photo of the trio on Instagram without any explanation.

It was taken as promotional photo for Carrie and Tommy’s radio show back in 2018 and it showed Walker caressing a then pregnant Bickmore with Little standing behind them. Clearly the photo was making a visual joke about Little being a third wheel.

Walker has yet to comment on why he uploaded that photo at that time.
