Tv's Leading Ladies At War!

Tens top stars are at each others throats as tensions erupt over huge pay packets, jealousy and star status.

Carrie Bickmore is simmering with rage over her co-star Lisa Wilkinson’s multimillion dollar salary and big star interviews, and has banned Kerri-Anne Kennerley from appearing on The Project, as a bitter war is played out behind the scenes at Ten.

Network flacks have tried to hose down rumours of tension between Carrie, 37, and Lisa, 58, for months, but insiders say it’s now at a flashpoint, with Carrie finding it increasingly difficult to “keep up appearances” and pretend they are friends.

“It’s become a war between the Sunday Project and The Project,” our source claims. “Carrie cannot believe the money being thrown at Lisa’s travel and overseas interviews, and she’s furious that Lisa has the pick of any interviews – and takes all the big ones. You have to remember The Project is Carrie’s show.”
