Sarah Harris took oversharing to a new level during Wednesday night’s episode of The Project, and it was enough to have people reaching for the remote control.
Harris’ candour came during a segment with Aussie physiotherapist Ben Foster, who recently made headlines after he saved his beloved dog’s eyesight by sucking a leech of its eyeball.
During the chat with the besotted animal lover, Harris was all too happy to turn the spotlight on her.
‘I have done some gross things as a mum as well,’ the mother-of-two said alongside panelists Waleed Aly and Liz Ellis.
‘You know, if your baby has like a runny nose and the consistency is kind of like a leech…’ she continued, turning towards fellow mum Ellis who knew exactly where the conversation was going.

‘Finish the story, what did you do?’ encouraged Ellis.
‘… I sucked the snot out of it, all right! continued Harris.
Foster was quick to let Harris know she’s not alone.
‘My partner actually does that with our daughter as well,’ he said.
‘I’ve been vindicated!” said Harris, but Ellis was having none of it.
‘This whole thing is gross,’ she said.
‘I want to put on record I would never suck a leech out of my kid’s eye or the snot out of my baby’s nose.’
But Liz, it’s crystal clear many would.
Take former Project funnyman Tommy Little, Home and Away star Kate Ritchie and comedian Em Rusciano who have all shared similar tales.

Kate Ritchie
In July of this year, Kate Ritchie left the entire Nova FM breakfast team appalled when she revealed she used to suck the snot out of her daughter’s nose when she was sick.
The former Home and Away star, 44, made the revolting confession live on Fitzy, Wippa and Kate, leaving her co-host Michael Wipfli in shock.
Convinced she wasn’t the only one, the radio host said she ‘sucked the mucus’ out of daughter Mae’s nose when she was ‘little’ and had a cold.
‘I’ve sucked the mucus out of her nose when she’s had a cold in the shower. With my mouth. When they’re little. Everyone does that. No?’ she said.
Wippa, 43, and host Matt de Groot, who was filling in for Ryan Fitzgerald, were disgusted by Kate’s admission.
‘As soon as you said it, outside the studio I just heard a raft of people going, “No! No one does that,”‘ Matt said.
However, Wippa was left speechless, dropping his head into his hands as Kate insisted all parents suck the snot out of their babies’ noses.
‘Everyone out there is saying, “Yuck!”‘ another producer said.

Tommy Little and Carrie Bickmore
ln 2019, Tommy Little and Carrie Bickmore indulged in a controversial on-air stunt that involved him sucking the ‘snot’ out of her nose.
The 34-year-old retched uncontrollably after siphoning the mucus from Carrie’s blocked nostril using a nasal aspirator on the Carrie & Tommy Show.
Tommy agreed to do the stomach-churning deed after Carrie explained that she used the aspirator – effectively a long tube that siphons out mucus – on her own three children.
‘You are going to suck out my snot because I have a cold,’ Carrie instructed, in a clip posted to their show’s Instagram account.
A horrified Tommy winced and replied: ‘I’m going to give it one aggressive suck and then we’re never doing this again and you owe me big time.’
It wasn’t long before the comedian doubled over and retched violently, before wailing: ‘I don’t want to do radio anymore!’

Em Rusciano
In 2017, Em Rusciano candidly revealed how she dealt with her infant children’s snot, as she and 2Day FM breakfast co-host Harley Breen discussed the parenting trick of sucking their cold-struck kids’ noses clear.
The outspoken brunette then admitted that on some occasions when she had sucked out a ‘booger’ in the middle of the night ‘you don’t spit it out either – sometimes you just swallow the snot down.’
Harley was quick to defend the method, revealing he did that for his newborn son Walter.
‘Harley does that every day’, confirmed Em, ‘Harley walks into work and goes “I’ve had to suck snot out of Walt.”‘
