Sarah Harris has broken down as The Project enters its final days after being axed.

The host was left in tears live on air when Kate Langbroek praised the the series for being a maverick in the world of current affairs.

‘In an industry where so much is planned and you are so straitjacketed in so many ways because of the necessities of TV. I don’t know how you break all these structures and rules’ she said.

That was enough to set Sarah off, leaving her swatting away tears as she confessed, ‘You got me.’

Sarah said that Kate was ‘inspiring’ and added: ‘I will be a sheep follow you around. You are magic.’
