While Carrie was born in Adelaide, she moved to Perth to live with her mother, stepfather and two step-sisters when she was three years old.

Carrie spent her younger years travelling between Perth and Adelaide to visit her father, noting in a 2018 column for Stellar: “My childhood wasn’t perfect but I’ve realized the older I get, and now with a family of my own, that no childhood is perfect. A nuclear family doesn’t guarantee happiness.

“Despite the complicated set-up of my family, and all the challenges that presented, I grew up with a stack of love around me, more than some 'traditional' families have.”

In 2001 Carrie moved to Melbourne with her late ex-husband, Greg Lange, where she got a job as a newsreader at NOVA FM before working her way up the ranks to eventually become the host of The Project in 2009.

Carrie and her now ex, Chris Walker, decided to move to the UK in 2022 for a few months, however, it didn't all go to plan and they were soon back on Aussie shores.

Speaking on her Carrie and Tommy radio show, Carrie said: “And there were lots of times when it was really, really hard,” she said.

“Living away with three kids – kids are hard enough at the best of times, and living in a new place without your support network around … Addy (daughter Adelaide) found it really hard for a long time.

“She was a baby born around COVID times and just likes being at home. All of a sudden we were dragging her on planes all over the world.”

Carrie quit The Project in 2022 after 13 years on the show and has since been focusing on her family and her radio show, which she co-hosts with Tommy Little.
