Carrie’s shocking revelation as she roasts cohosts
Carrie Bickmore has slammed her male co-hosts after they joked about a Canadian news reporter for being fired just because she had grey hair.
Lisa LaFlamme, 58, announced she would be leaving the CTV National News presenter and said she was “blindsided” and left “shocked and saddened” by the allegedly sudden decision to end her contract.
The company rejected claims that LaFlamme was let go from her job because of her grey hair and that she would instead be replaced by a younger male.
The Project co-host, who is only 35, was speaking about the issue to the rest of the panel before revealing that she is in fact “fully grey” under her blonde locks.
However, comedian Peter Helliar went a step too far saying that he hoped burger chain Wendy would remove any grey hairs found in their food after changing their red-headed girl in their logo to grey.
A shocked Carrie snapped saying this isn’t a problem for males who are able to continue their day-to-day jobs without worrying about ageing.
“Is that what you’ve taken out of this story? You guys don’t have to worry about this, do you?” she asked.
Her co-host Waleed Aly then teased asking if there was something Carrie wanted to say to which she responded: “I’m fully grey under here”.
Aly pointed out that grey hair appeared to be less acceptable in the US and Canada but the UK, where Carrie had a three month stint at, was more open about it.
“Yes, I did notice that in the UK. I’ll move there and do it!” she said.
