Georgie Tunny Breaks Silence on The Project's Shock Axe

Georgie Tunny has broken her silence since Channel Ten's panel show, The Project, was axed in 2025 after 16 years on air. Tunny, who was part of the show from 2022 to 2025, described the community's support following its cancellation as bittersweet.

She questioned the timing of the public outpouring, noting the speculation surrounding the show's future in its final months. Tunny emphasized the broader impact of the cancellation, highlighting that nearly 100 people lost their livelihoods, a significant consequence often overlooked when viewers focus on minor criticisms.

In addition to discussing the show's end, Tunny also shared personal news. She and her fiancé, Rob Mills, are preparing for their wedding, aiming for 2026. The couple, who announced their engagement in January 2022, are currently in the process of planning the event, acknowledging the significant work involved.

The Project, which first aired in July 2009, once achieved over a million metro viewers and won numerous accolades, including 11 Logie Awards. However, recent years saw a decline in viewership, with national ratings between 238,000 and 357,000 towards its conclusion.
