‘This week on the Sunday The Project, the fabulous Harry Styles and I bond big time over Daryl Braithwaite’s The Horses,’ Lisa explained on Saturday.
Lisa went on to share a bizarre fake music video, where Lisa sang along to Horses while on the beach with a 1990 version of Daryl.
‘Now seems as good a time as any to remember that time Dazza and I did our own version (sort of)… and I felt like I was my 16-year-old Sherbet-loving self all over again.’

On Friday, the TV presenter almost found herself stranded on the other side of the world while on assignment for The Project.
‘Los Angeles, you’ve been great, and the major celeb interview we managed to get for The Project was definitely worth the trip. But… we’re outta here!
‘America feels like it’s shutting down, and I don’t know how much longer these borders are going to be open. Australia, here I come,’ Lisa wrote on Instagram.

‘Be safe everyone. Wash your hands. And look after each other. xxx,’ she concluded.
