'So... I posted a few things. People noticed. Slightly more than I expected,' they wrote. 'Turns out, there's a lot of news. Whether it's serious stuff, the weird stuff, the did-that-actually-happen?! stuff. And I reckon we have enough to fill a few posts a day... and you seem to like it?
'So here's the deal: I post news, you read it, laugh, comment, maybe have a little existential crisis (optional), and we keep building a space that feels smart, sharp and not sad all the time. Sound good? Want more? Say the word. And if you don't... I'll just keep pretending you do, for my mental health.'
The announcement gained 11,000 likes in 12 hours, making it one of The Project's most popular Instagram posts in months. The post also received plenty of comments from its famous followers, including Colin Fassnidge, Matty 'J' Johnson, and Julie Goodwin.
'Love it!' Magda Szubanski wrote, followed by Rob Mills who said, 'I'm in.'.
'I am SO HERE FOR THIS!!' former host Lisa Wilkinson commented on another recent post, while The Project's producer Rove McManus joked, 'I don't know if I'm still paying for this, but I'm all for it'.
Julia Morris, Dannii Minogue and Georgia Love have also shown their support for the show's 'rebrand', with host Sarah Harris commenting, 'Here for it'.
Interestingly, Social Blade statistics show that The Project's Instagram account has gained 12,000 followers since the announcement last month that the show had been cancelled.
This comes shortly after it was announced that The Project presenter Georgie Tunny would be joining the network's brand-new current affairs program, 10 News+.
The show, hosted by Amelia Brace and Denham Hitchcock, premiered at 6pm on Monday and airs six days a week. Channel 10 announced in a statement on Thursday that Georgie will bring her passion for sport, news, and storytelling to the program, covering the biggest stories and events in Australia and around the world.

'I've always been a fan of news delivered differently and am excited to be staying with the 10 family. Can't wait to see where this new chapter leads!' she said.
Meanwhile, Waleed Aly and Sarah Harris have both left Channel 10 following The Project's cancellation, and Sam Taunton is expected to continue making guest appearances across the network's entertainment shows.

7 Love Islanders who have left the UK as Patsy relocates because she's 'too embarrassed' to work 9 to 5 job
Season 11 Love Island star Patsy Field has revealed that she's planning to move to Australia, as she feels "too embarrassed" to look for a regular 9 to 5 job in the UK a year after appearing on the ITV2 dating show. Speaking in an interview, she said: "I probably will be looking for a job soon, but I'm planning on moving to Australia." She added to The Sun: "A year post-show… I don't know if it comes with a little bit of embarrassment of looking for a normal 9 to 5 job." Patsy wouldn't be the first Islander to pack up her bags and relocate to another country after taking part in the show. Over the years, we've seen many contestants ditch the UK for opportunities overseas. Here's a list of all the Love Islanders who've made the move. Season 11 star Patsy is the latest Islander to join the trend of moving abroad. In a recent interview, she was asked if she considers herself an influencer, to which she responded: "I don't think I'm a very good influencer…I guess at the moment, yeah, you could say influencing — or just fun-employed, I think is the term, isn't it?" She then went on to say that she's planning on moving to Australia to find a job, explaining: "I feel like if I move to the other side of the world and maybe find one over there, I might feel a bit better about it.' Prior to being on Love Island, Andrew worked as an estate agent in Dubai. He returned to the UK after his time on the show and moved in with his girlfriend at the time, Tasha Ghouri. However, since their split he has now returned to Dubai, calling the move a "new start". Season four star Laura Anderson relocated to Dubai with her then-partner Dane Bowers. She's since moved back to the UK and now has a daughter with actor Gary Lucy. She regularly visits Dubai, and took her 16-month-old daughter Bonnie on a trip there earlier this year. Season four star Eyal Booker moved to LA in 2019 with his then-girlfriend Delilah Belle Hamlin. While he still considers London to be his home, he spends a lot of his time stateside and last year he moved into a luxury apartment there with his best friend Max and his girlfriend. Season five star Anton moved to Dubai after appearing on Love Island. He originally went on a brand trip but fell in love with the city, so he splashed out on a Bentley and an apartment. He later returned home to Scotland, calling the decision a "mistake". Speaking in a video, he explained: "After Covid, I got invited on an influencer trip to Dubai. As soon as I got there, I absolutely fell in love with the place - and I never came home. "I bought myself a Bentley, I bought myself an apartment on The Palm and I was absolutely living the dream. Unfortunately, it was all downhill from there." Anton went on to explain how he invested £100,000 in a "gym concept", with plans to open a "nightclub gym". Season seven bombshell Abigail Rawlings has moved to US since appearing on Love Island. She works as a tattoo artist in LA, and judging from her Instagram page, she's having a pretty good time settling in there. Season two star Rachel Fenton returned to nursing after the reality TV show and she's since moved to Dubai, where she's continued her nursing career. New episodes of Love Island air on weekdays and Sundays on ITV2 at 9pm.

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom confirm split
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have split, three years after announcing their engagement. The couple, who have a daughter, confirmed that they are no longer together, after much speculation about the state of their relationship. According to US Weekly, which was the first outlet to report the official confirmation, representatives for Bloom and Perry issued a statement in which they said: 'Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting. 'They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is – and always will be – raising their daughter with love, stability, and mutual respect.' CNN has reached out to the couple's representatives for comment. The news came a week after widespread reports that Perry, who is currently on tour in Australia, did not attend the wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez in Venice, although Bloom was a guest. It followed speculation that the A-list duo, who had been together for nine years, might have parted ways. On Thursday, Bloom shared a series of cryptic quotes from Swiss psychologist and psychiatrist Carl Jung on Instagram. The numerous quotes referenced love, power, loneliness and addiction, with one reading: 'Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself.' Bloom and Perry began dating in 2016. In 2020, they welcomed a daughter, Daisy Dove. In an interview with Trevor Noah last year, Bloom said he wouldn't change his relationship with Perry. 'I wouldn't change it for anything, even when sometimes it feels like, 'How do we do this?' Because we've got these two giant careers and lives, and hers is like a universe sometimes,' the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' star said. 'But I think I just keep coming back to her and trying to hold her hand and walk her back to the sand pit and be like, we're just going to build a sandcastle.' CNN's Lisa Respers France and Marianne Garvey contributed to this report.
