He’s the beloved host with a witty comeback for everything, but funnyman Peter Helliar was left scrambling for words on The Project Monday when Carrie Bickmore threw him a gushing compliment about his recent weight loss.
The comedian, 45, blushed as Carrie commented on his trimmed-down physique, which he attributed to having more time to exercise in isolation.
He’s previously revealed he’s also cut back on the midweek beers of late.

Following a brief story about tailor businesses booming across the US as increasing numbers of people have their clothes taken out due to added snacking in isolation, Helliar joked that The Project panel could relate.
“We actually made the panel bigger to make us all look smaller,” he quipped.
But co-host Carrie wasn’t letting the throwaway comment slide without drawing attention to Pete’s slim appearance.
“Not you! someone is needing to add holes to their belt,” she said, adding: “You should feel proud!” as Pete shuffled awkwardly in his seat.
“But I had a fair bit to work on,” he joked, explaining: “You’ve got more time (to eat or exercise in isolation) and I have chosen to do a bit more exercise.”
“You look amazing, and fit, Pete,” Carrie said, to which the comedian responded with a bashful chuckle: “This is not supposed to be a flirt fest. Please.”
The host’s weight loss journey first came to light back in May, when he toldThe Sydney Morning Herald that he had hit his sub-100kg goal.
“I’m under 100 kilos for the first time in years,” he told the publication.
The comedian went on to reveal the simple lifestyle changes he’s made to achieve the impressive results.
“I made a choice at the end of last year to get into shape and I’m not drinking during the week and I’m exercising every day,” he told the publication.
The father-of-three admitted he’d been self-conscious about his shape in the past.
“I was always the kid wearing T-shirts while swimming,” he said.
But he went on to say breaking under the 100kg mark “felt really good” and was encouraging him to continue.
