Carrie Bickmore's rumoured TV return

Carrie Bickmore is rumoured to be the next host of the upcoming reboot of the iconic Aussie game show Deal or No Deal. 

The former The Project anchor is the front-runner to host the series which is set to air on Channel 10 next year. 

It is understood that the network is desperate to get Bickmore onboard, but with fame comes a hefty price tag. 

“She’s one of the biggest stars in Australia and she comes with a very big price tag,” a source reportedly told New Idea, revealing that her current rate is believed to be over $500,000.

“Deal or No Deal is currently lined up to air at 6pm as the lead-in to The Project - with hopes those eyeballs that tune in to the game show will stay on to watch Sarah Harris, Waleed Aly, and the gang,” the source added. 

“It’d be a win-win for the network, getting Carrie back on TV and hosting a show that could actually get people back into watching The Project - it’s sort of genius.”

However, she isn't the only star the broadcaster have their eyes on. 

Peter Helliar is also rumoured to be part of the line up, with a much cheaper price tag. 

Deal or No Deal first aired in 2003 on Channel 7, and had a ten-year run before the show was axed.

Although there's no set date for the when the show will air just yet, they are looking for their next stars with casting calls open for those over 18.
