Ahead of The Project’s final episode on Friday night, co-host Sarah Harris has voiced her concerns for the vast number of junior staff facing job losses.
The Project co-host Sarah Harris has voiced her concerns for the “more than 50” staff who lost their jobs when the show was axed.
Network Ten announced in early June that The Project would be cut before the end of the month, with ratings continuing to decline, and would be replaced with a news and current affairs program.
Ahead of her final episode on Friday night, Ms Harris appeared on former Studio 10 colleague Joe Hildebrand’s The Real Story Nova podcast to discuss the show’s cancellation, opening the interview with a public callout.

“Hello, I’m Sarah Harris and I’m open to any sort of employment. You can check me out on LinkedIn,” she said.
Ms Harris said she will “deal with” losing her job, but more junior workers have been hit hard by the axing.
“A lot of people work on The Project, lots of people who behind the scenes are about to have babies – who have scrimped and saved and bought their first place,” she said.
“I can cop it, I’m old enough and ugly enough to deal with that but the kids that’ve lost their jobs…”
“There’s more than 50 people who have lost their jobs now.”
The Project will end its run on June 27. Picture: Ten.
Sources have claimed a few presenters, such as Harris, were offered extended contracts as dozens of others were given a couple of weeks’ notice.
When asked to confirm the media report suggesting she had accepted another role with Ten, Harris instead praised the network, and did not address the reports.
“Ten has been so good to me, I have loved my time at Ten,” she said.
The TV veteran is no stranger to losing her job, revealing she was first sacked at 19 when she worked on a show called Local Edition.
“It was axed after three months,” she said.

“I still remember walking in to shoot a story and our news boss calling us all in saying ‘show’s not going to air tonight, or ever again, pack your bags and go’.”
Ms Harris also shut down rumours her career change included a move to OnlyFans.
“You would not believe how many people thought that was real,” she said, after previously making a light-hearted remark about pivoting to the adult content site on-air.
