The Project's Kate Langbroek takes a thinly veiled swipe at Channel Ten as she praises host Sarah Harris - after 10 News+ tanks in the ratings
The Project star Kate Langbroek and Sarah Harris are still not over Channel Ten 's shock decision to axe the long-running news program.
Langbroek, 59, took to Instagram to make a brutal swipe at the network alongside a selfie with Harris while inside the show's studio.
'She made it look so easy it was easy to take her for granted,' Kate captioned the story.
Kate shared the same image a second time, alongside the text: 'Tuesday's now Bluesday. Tuesday is not the same without The Project and my girl.'
In the snap, Kate pouted while posing alongside Sarah with her arm around her shoulder.

Sarah, alongside The Project hosts Waleed Aly and Hamish Macdonald, are set to exit the network, while comedian Sam Taunton will continue his guest appearances on other Ten shows.
The Project was pulled from the schedule after 16 years and more than 4,500 episodes.
The show also received mixed reviews from other viewers, with many sharing their thoughts on X.
Several compared 10 News+ to A Current Affair, with one posting: 'This is like ACA. Going to people's houses to talk and them avoiding the cameras.'
'You replaced The Project with a Temu ACA not seeing @theprojecttv is incredibly depressing. 10news+ sucks!' complained another viewer.
Someone else said: 'This is proper @Channel7 style commercial JUNK. It's like watching a cross between Fox News and Anchorman. Why the silly "news" voices!?'
One more person tuning in at home asked: 'Anyone else bored so far?' while someone else said, 'please no more long investigation reports it's 6pm'.
The Project was officially axed after 16 years last week, and aired its final episode on June 27. Pictured L to R: Sam Taunton, Waleed Aly, Sarah Harris, and Georgie Tunny
'Oh dear. I thought I would give 10 News Plus a go.I feel like we have regressed 20 years! An inauthentic painfully choreographed attempt at current affairs!' one said.
'Dribble. Won't last the year' a viewer said with another adding, 'Felt like it was a Comedy Company parody from the 80s. The fist pump at the end? Yikes.'
Not everyone was so negative with one fan writing: 'Loving @10NewsPlus - strong launch story. Is this the new Schapelle Corby story we all need to know about. 10 news should be very proud.'
The show's hosts, recently poached Seven journalists Denham Hitchcock and Amelia Brace, opened the episode by telling the audience what they can expect from the hard-hitting program.
'Firstly, we're not here to tell you what to think, to scare or depress you,' Hitchcock said.
'We will give you facts, information you can trust – the truth,' Brace added.
Of course, we are a daily news program, so you won't miss the stories that matter,' Hitchcock went on.
'But we are also digging deeper with investigations and original reporting you won't see anywhere else,' Brace said.
The first episode included an investigation on drug-smuggling Melbourne mum Debbie Voulgaris and a sit-down chat with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.
