Host of  The Living Room  Amanda Keller is up for multiple Logie Awards this year, and she did not hold back when talking about her fellow nominees.

Appearing on  The Project  on Wednesday night, the 57-year-old was asked a few awkward questions about how she feels going up against Carrie Bickmore and Waleed Aly in her award categories.

She was first asked why she believes she deserves the Gold over Waleed, before answering how she would feel if she lost against Carrie in the “Most Popular Presenter” category.

“Our very own Carrie Bickmore is up for most popular presenter. She’s a gun,” said co-host Gorgi Coghlan.

“She hasn’t even been on TV for almost nine months. So how will you feel if she beats you in that category?” she asked Keller.

Despite the awkward exchange, Amanda didn’t seem to mind answering as she offered a joke about Carrie who has been on maternity leave since welcoming her third child.

“Oh look, Carrie has had a baby,” the veteran host said.

“She’s got a baby on the shelf at home. She doesn’t need a Logie.”

Comedian and co-host Peter Helliar then made a witty remark telling people not to put “babies on shelves”.

“Don’t put babies on shelves,” said Amanda, before saying: “Use them as doorstops, obviously. Logies – not babies.”

Amanda is nominated for “Most Popular Presenter” as well as the top prize of the night – the Gold Logie.

Also hoping to win the Gold is Sam Mac, Tom Gleeson and Waleed Aly.
