During his chat Price revealed that he brought his adult daughter to see his last ever show. 

‘My daughter Kate’s here tonight. She was 11 when I started doing this. She was still in primary school’ he said.

Price, who was a regular panelist on for the start of the working week edition of the show, joked that he would not know what to do with his Mondays now the show has been cancelled. 

‘I love the crew behind this show,’ he added.

‘They are the best in the world… And the on-air hosts have been fantastic. You’ve all been very generous and kind to me.’

Waleed Aly also offered his thanks to his co-star, ‘Pricey, before we go, I just want to say – it has been a joy to work with you, mate.’

It comes after The Project’s Rachel Corbett could not make it past her introduction before getting emotional as the recently axed show aired its final Sunday edition this weekend.

Corbett, 44, who has been on the panel show since 2015, also seemed to set off host Sarah Harris who was also seen to fight back tears.

Price said he was 'amazed' that an 'old white guy' like himself would be 'allowed' to stay for more than a week on the show. Pictured: Host Sarah Harris and Price

‘You know it doesn’t take me much,’ Corbett said as she tried to keep a brave face.

‘But you’re such a pretty crier,’ Harris joked.

Corbett replied that that ‘wasn’t true’ before sharing a heartfelt tribute to her outgoing colleagues.

‘Anyway, we’ve got plenty of show to get to but I just want to say it’s been a bloody privilege doing this show with you guys. I love you so dearly.’

The broadcaster, who regularly appears as a panellist on The Project’s Sunday edition also thanked the show’s regular studio audience who she said turned up ‘week after week for this wonderful show.’

The show’s producer’s later shared the moment to X with the caption, ‘It only took us 30 seconds to start crying during our final week on air.’

The Project hosts Waleed Aly, Sarah Harris and Hamish Macdonald are set to exit the network, while comedian Sam Taunton will continue his guest appearances on other Ten shows.

The Project is leaving the TV schedule after 16 years and more than 4,500 episodes.

The Project’s original stars Carrie Bickmore, Charlie Pickering and Dave ‘Hughesy’ Hughes will be joining the panel one last time when the final episode airs on Friday June 27.
