Carrie Bickmore, a prominent Australian television and radio personality, made a notable return to the public eye at the 2026 Logie Awards held at The Star in Sydney. Bickmore, 45, attended the event wearing a striking, low-cut animal print gown that highlighted her recent weight loss. The dress featured a built-in corset and a plunging neckline, with Bickmore opting for minimal accessories, complementing her look with smoky eye makeup and a styled platinum blonde bob.
Bickmore has been less visible in the spotlight since departing her role on the television program 'The Project.' Her appearance at the Logies marked a significant re-emergence.
The 2026 Logie Awards also saw nominations for the Gold Logie, the awards' most prestigious prize. Robert Irwin, a nominee for his work on 'I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!', is set to compete against co-host Julia Morris. Other nominees for the Gold Logie include Sam Pang, Lisa Millar, Poh Ling Yeow, Ally Langdon, and Todd Woodbridge.
The nomination for Irwin and Morris comes as Network 10 announced a decision to rest 'I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!' for the 2027 season. A spokesperson for the network stated the move allows for a focus on content across all platforms and confirmed plans to work with Morris and Irwin on future projects. The show's 2026 season opened with 925,000 viewers, but viewership declined to 571,000 by its finale.
Julia Morris reflected on the show's hiatus, describing it as "the end of an era" and expressing gratitude for the experience. This year's Logies also introduced the Bruce McAvaney Award for Most Popular Sports Presenter, honoring the long-time sports presenter's extensive career.
Bickmore previously won a Gold Logie in 2015, an occasion where she wore a beanie to raise awareness for her late husband's battle with brain cancer.
