7PM extends sympathy to Carrie Bickmore

Carrie Bickmore will take leave from The 7PM Project, following the death of her husband Greg Lange.

Lange lost his decade-long battle with cancer last week.

Last night on the TEN show, Pickering announced she would return to the show in February.

Bickmore’s colleagues have publicly extended their sympathies.

In a statement Charlie Pickering said: “My thoughts are with Carrie and Ollie, and their family, all of whom have been so strong throughout this horribly difficult time.”

Dave Hughes has also said, “Our thoughts are with Carrie and her son at this incredibly sad time for the family.”

TEN recently issued a statement noting, “Carrie and family are extremely thankful for the support, care and consideration they have received during this period, especially the last twelve months.

“Privacy and understanding at this difficult time is appreciated so they may now grieve as a family.”
