Carrie Bickmore faces renewed rumours of 2Day FM departure
This gossip column collects several Australian media industry items, most notably persistent radio rumours that 2Day FM afternoon host Carrie Bickmore is set to leave her network SCA amid its merger with Seven West Media, with speculation she could join KIIS FM's revamped drive slot after industry upheaval at that station. It also revisits the case of former Deal or No Deal host Andrew O'Keefe, who has been forced to publicly deny writing a series of explicit and flirtatious messages that appeared on his Threads account, some directed at women who appear to be bots.
O'Keefe told the publication his phone was stolen roughly four months ago and that several personal accounts were subsequently compromised, and he has since made his Threads account private after providing login records showing access from unfamiliar devices. Meanwhile, sources suggest Bickmore's potential move could be driven by radio executive Dave Cameron, who originally hired her at SCA and now works for rival network ARN, though whether her co-host Tommy Little would follow is reportedly uncertain given cooled relations between the pair; both SCA and ARN declined to comment on the record. The piece also briefly notes a positive career update for Claire Murphy, a former Mamamia podcast host affected by earlier redundancies.
