The Project’s Georgie Tunny was left in tears during the show’s second last episode ever on Thursday night.

Georgie, 34, became emotional after a segment in which long time panellist, Susie Youssef, visited a Melbourne primary school.

The kids featured were asked by the comedian about the best way to ‘say goodbye’ to the people they care about.

At one point one of the cute tots turned tables and asked Susie what she would say to The Project team as the show faces cancellation on Friday.

‘I would tell the people that I worked with that I loved them and I was really grateful for all the experience they gave me’ she said.

‘I’m gone already, I’m gone,’ Georgie said, wiping away tears, before gushing over Susie’s touching segment. 

Meanwhile, Susie also appeared emotional as she paid tribute to the show. 

It comes after Sarah Harris has broken down as The Project enters its final days after being axed.

The host was left in tears live on air when Kate Langbroek praised the the series for being a maverick in the world of current affairs.

‘In an industry where so much is planned and you are so straitjacketed in so many ways because of the necessities of TV. I don’t know how you break all these structures and rules’ she said.

That was enough to set Sarah off, leaving her swatting away tears as she confessed, ‘You got me.’
