Lisa Wilkinson has a dig at Jesinta Franklin: ‘You just kind of wear clothes and walk, right?’

THINGS got awkward on the Today Show yesterday when Lisa Wilkinson appeared to have a dig at guest Jesinta Franklin.

The model was appearing on the breakfast show after David Jones’ catwalk show the night before.

After Franklin told the hosts she’d been working 14 hours days for a week in the lead up to the show, Wilkinson jumped in to question the guest.

“What are you doing for 14 hours, because you’re just kind of wearing clothes and walking right,” Wilkinson said.

Co-hosts Karl Stefanovic and Sylvia Jeffreys looked a little uncomfortable at the comment.

The model came back with her response seamlessly.

“That is the perception for a lot of models that you put on an outfit and sashay down the runway,” Franklin said.

“Yesterday I had about 20 media interviews back-to-back, I had hair and make-up, I had briefings and I had rehearsals.”
