Waleed Aly says he 'led The Project into a ditch' as Peter Helliar returns to pays emotional tribute to his former co-star on second last show

Peter Helliar has returned to The Project as the axed show aired its second last episode on Thursday night.

While Aly admitted the situation isn't unique to the television industry, he said the emotional weight of the announcement was felt deeply - especially by his own family. Aly, who shares two children - Aisha, 22, and Zayd, 18 – with wife Susan Carland, said returning to a regular home routine is a bittersweet adjustment. After years of missing family dinners due to his evening work schedule, he's preparing for a lifestyle shift that includes more cooking – and plenty of cleaning.
