Carrie Bickmore 'unhappy' with Lisa Wilkinson's arrival

She's publicly congratulated Lisa Wilkinson over her new role beside her.

But reports have emerged that suggest Carrie Bickmore isn't as happy about Lisa's arrival as she suggested.

According to The Daily Telegraph, The Project host is 'less than impressed' with the fact the esteemed presenter will be working on the show.

"She is p*ssed off at Wilkinson being shipped in to sit alongside her," a source told the publication, who suggested the trouble ironically, is over their reported pay differences.

It's rumoured that Carrie earns $500,000 a year for her seat on the panel, while Lisa is reported to have snagged four times that after jumping ship from the Today Show.

Lisa Wilkinson had worked as a co-host on Today for ten years before sensationally quitting earlier this week over a suspected gender pay dispute.

As well as Carrie's personal tweet to 'friend' Lisa, she also welcomed her new colleague on air along with Waleed Aly.
