Carrie Bickmore shared a tribute to Johnny Ruffo on Wednesday following his heartbreaking interview on The Project in which he revealed his brain cancer was terminal.

The Channel 10 host posted a clip from the interview on Instagram alongside a supportive and uplifting message.

'Johnny Ruffo. I won’t say "stay positive" because I know you hate that, but we are all here for you, mate,' the 41-year-old wrote in the caption.

In the accompanying clip, the 34-year-old former Home and Away spoke of his rise to fame as a contestant on The X Factor and subsequent ill health.

Carrie first interviewed Johnny on The Project 2017 when he was first diagnosed with cancer and was recovering from a surgery to removed a 7cm brain tumour.

He then underwent chemotherapy and radiotherapy, only for him to reveal in November 2021 the disease had returned.

Johnny was back sitting across from Carrie on Monday night as he confirmed his illness was now terminal.

He told the Gold Logie winner he had already outlived his life expectancy.

'At some point it will get me but I'm still fighting. Still kicking on. Looking up my diagnosis and my tumour, the average life expectancy was three years,' he admitted.

'And for me it's now been five years. I'm already winning. My goal now is to try and help as many people as I can and also live a happy life.'

Despite his battles, the former Dancing with the Stars contestant was more concerned about how his girlfriend Tahnee Sims would cope after his passing.

'You can only imagine how difficult it's been for her,' he told Carrie.

'What plays in my head a lot is, I hate to say this, how hard it may be for her if something does happen to me.

'So it's something that I don't want to think about. It just gets me a little bit emotional about it because I know at some point something will happen, whether it's, you know, a month from now or 10 years from now or 20 years.'

Johnny has often spoken of the support Tahnee has given him since his diagnosis, even crediting her with 'saving' his life in an interview with Who magazine.

The pair first met at a dance studio in 2015, and have been together since.

'You can only imagine how difficult it's been for her,' he told Carrie. 'What plays in my head a lot is, I hate to say this, how hard it may be for her if something does happen to me'
