Carrie Bickmore shows off some serious abs

The Project host Carrie Bickmore has shown off her impressive abs on the cover in the latest Women's Health issue.

She also opened up to the publication about how drastically her life changed after her late husband, Greg Lange, was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer.

Carrie reflected on how she had to grow up very fast and lived a very different life to the average woman in her twenties.

“Most people in their 20s are working, partying, travelling, hanging out with friends – and though I got to do some of those things, I was forced to grow up very quickly,” the 36-year-old admitted.

She added: “I had to get my head around some health concepts – brain cancer – which wasn’t something I had any idea about or thought I would need to know about for many years.”

The TV host also said it was “really hard to see such grown-up things at a young age”.

Greg eventually lost his fight against cancer in 2010 at the age of 34 – the two had a son together, Oliver.

He was the inspiration for Carrie starting her Beanies 4 Brain Cancer initiative to raise funding for research into the disease.

Carrie also told the magazine Greg was the reason behind her winning speech at the 2015 Logies.

The host wanted to talk about something she was passionate about and it was raising awareness about brain cancer.

“I also wanted to pay tribute to Greg. He’d been so much a part of my professional life as well as my personal life. I’m really glad I did it,” she said.
