‘You can’t say that!’ The Project’s Lisa Wilkinson gasps over a comment co-host Tommy Little made to singer Thelma Plum
Lisa Wilkinson could not hide her shock over a comment co-host Tommy Little made on Sunday night’s episode of The Project.
Singer Thelma Plum appeared on the show where she discussed having developed ‘dysosmia’ – a disordered sense of smell and taste – after recovering from COVID-19 earlier this year.
After Thelma revealed that everything tastes like ‘garbage’, Tommy quipped that he had a similar condition growing up with his mother’s cooking.

‘I lost my smell and my taste when I had COVID,’ Thelma, 25, said. ‘It came back and I was really happy and now I’ve developed this thing called dysosmia.
‘So everything I smell and taste smells like ammonia and garbage and rancid meats.’
Tommy, 35, responded in a joking manner: ‘I had a similar condition that was called “growing up with my mum’s cooking”.’
