Viewers flocked to the ABC’s Australian Story last night as broadcaster Libbi Gorr reflected on her tumultuous career in TV.
Gorr was Australia’s saucy darling before she was infamously ‘cancelled’ after a controversial interview with convicted criminal Mark ‘Chopper’ Read.
“After that episode television didn’t want me. It felt like I was cancelled before it was invented,” she told Australian Story.
Despite being cancelled Gorr is still a big advocate for taking risks.
‘But I still believe in risks. If you don’t take them then nothing changes.’
She has now largely rebuilt her career and is a presenter on Disrupt Radio. A total of 571,000 metro viewers signed up to watch the show last night, making it the most-watched entertainment show.
Channel share was unusually even yesterday with Nine taking in 26.4 per cent of views, followed by Seven with 25.2 per cent, Network 10 with 20.7 per cent, the ABC with 20.2 per cent and SBS with 7.5 per cent.
