“She’s having a lovely sleep in after an extraordinary day, thank you. The best sleep in 10 years,” he told reporters.

Peter also took a swipe at an online troll on Twitter this morning who said: “With a lefty husband pretty obvious she was going to end on a lefty show. No brainer.”

He responded writing: “She’s been up at 3am for 10 yrs (sic), but still not early enough to put one over on you Andy. Yes, driving force in tv moves is political slant.”

It was announced on Monday night Lisa was leaving Channel Nine’s Today for rival network Channel 10 for a role on The Project.
