Carrie Bickmore Confronted by Son Over 'Nude' Moments in TV Premiere
Carrie Bickmore is set to face a humorous grilling over her so-called 'nude' moments tonight, with her own son taking the lead in the interrogation on national television. The popular TV and radio host will appear as the inaugural guest on comedians Glenn Robbins and Mick Molloy's new Channel 7 series, Glenn & Mick's Celebrity Intervention, where celebrities are put under the spotlight by those who know them best.
Son Ollie's Jovial Confrontation
In the first episode, Bickmore's son Ollie is seated in the audience and playfully confronts his mother about some questionable social media footage. 'Seeing you dressed as a lifeguard made me want to drown,' he quips, referring to footage of Bickmore running along the beach in a Baywatch-esque red swimsuit. Speaking on Sunrise ahead of the premiere, the comedians noted that Bickmore faces the music tonight but 'gives as good as she gets.' Molloy added, 'Don't worry about that, she goes down swinging.'
Revealing Stories and Humorous Exchanges
The show delves into personal anecdotes, with Robbins revealing there's a story about 'nudity' that surfaces during Bickmore's intervention. 'She has an incredible passion for nudity,' he joked, 'and how confronting it was for her son.' Ollie hilariously challenges his mother by asking, 'Why do you appear nude in front of my friends, even when you're heavily pregnant?' Robbins teased, 'And her answer is astonishing.' The comedians also mentioned other quirky questions, such as why Peter Helliar found Bickmore's bra in his car, offering fans a deeper, comedic look into her life.
Concept and Premiere Details
The new series, hosted by Robbins and Molloy alongside a rotating guest co-host like Kate Langbroek in the premiere, features a celebrity's closest friends, family, and colleagues revisiting their highs, lows, and more cringeworthy moments in a light-hearted 'intervention.' Robbins explained the concept on Sunrise, saying, 'When someone has some stuff going on, they need an intervention. People who care about them bring them in and put them up on the grill. They find out what's really happening for them, and they feel better for it.' Molloy added that the show is done with 'love,' providing an entertaining yet insightful peek into celebrities' lives.
Other Guests and Reactions
When asked if any guests had taken offence to the on-air interrogations, Robbins revealed that comedian Dave Hughes was 'carried out on a stretcher' and that 'there was no shortage of people queuing up to put the boots in with that guy.' This highlights the show's blend of humor and candidness, promising engaging episodes ahead. Glenn & Mick's Celebrity Intervention premieres at 7:30 PM Monday on Seven and 7plus, offering free streaming for viewers eager to catch the fun.
