'I don't think I could be away for that long': Carrie Bickmore reveals she'd never be a contestant on I'm A Celebrity... because she couldn't be away from her kids

She's not afraid to ask the tough questions on Channel 10's The Project.

But that's because Carrie Bickmore, 36, is comfortable in the knowledge that no matter how hard her day is, she gets to go home to her two kids.

In an interview with The Daily Telegraph, the blonde beauty spoke admirably about the contestants' efforts to win money for their chosen charity, but revealed she could only go 'a couple nights' away from her children.

Carrie submitted that she'd be happy to join the show if they guaranteed they would kick her out after a week.

'But I am so scared of heights and I hate creepy crawlies so it wouldn’t be a very successful venture having me in there,' she added.

'I’d like the challenge but I struggle with a couple of nights away from the kids so I don’t know how I’d go that long.'

In a heart-warming admission, the journalist revealed she only found out that regular The Project panelist Steve Price chose Carrie's own charity after he'd already entered the jungle.

'It just really warmed my heart,' she said of the outspoken shock jock's decision to appear on the show for the Beanies 4 Brain Cancer Foundation. 

'To get $100,000 in one shot would fund a scientist for a whole year to complete the research they are doing so it would have a significant impact if Steve was to win the foundation that money.'

While the pair's polar opposite political views regularly cause tension on the show, Carrie revealed that there's a different side to her cast mate than the opinionated conservative he portrays on the show. 

She believed that during his time on I'm A Celebrity... The 62-year-old has shown Australia that more caring, calm side than what many would have expected.

The journalist also threw her support behind former Australian Idol Casey Donovan, who is playing for The Starlight foundation.

Carrie gave birth to her first son Oliver in 2007, who she shared with her husband Greg Lange, who tragically died of brain cancer in 2010.

In 2015, she welcomed daughter Evie into the world with current partner Chris Walker.
