Rumours are swirling that The Project‘s looking for a more controversial hire to balance out the reliable Sarah Harris.
The Project has currently faced a mass exodus, with Lisa Wilkinson, Carrie Bickmore and Peter Helliar all heading for the exits.
Last week, the network announced that Sarah Harris would be joining the team, but there are still two more seats to be filled. While nothing has been confirmed, there have been rumours that Abbie Chatfield and Laura Bryne are potential new candidates.
Both have guest-hosted, and both are currently thriving in their respective careers.
Chatfield’s obviously famous for her stint on The Bachelor, which she used to catapult her career. She now has a podcast, radio show and endorsement deals coming out of her ears. Plus, she’s someone that makes headlines and generates conversation.
Meanwhile, Laura Bryne also made a name for herself on The Bachelor. She won Matty J’s heart and has since gone on to have two children with him, get married and most famously, get a gig on KIIS.
Her podcast with Brittany Hockley is also one of the most downloaded podcasts in Australia. Not too shabby.

So what do these two have in common? Well, they’d drive the youth audience. Both are social media influencers and are known for having that real clickbait factor. So, they’d definitely bring a fresh vibe to the panel.
Stay tuned!
