Tommy Little ‘drank himself into a stupor’ after breaking up with girlfriend
The Project host Tommy Little has admitted he spent his days in lockdown drowning his sorrows after breaking up with his live-in girlfriend.
The comedian, 36, told TV Week he would regularly drink himself ‘into a stupor’ after splitting from environmental activist Natalie Kyriacou late last year.
The relationship breakdown was made worse by the fact Melbourne‘s strict Covid-19 restrictions were already taking a toll on his mental health.

‘I was living with a partner but that didn’t go well. She’s wonderful but we didn’t go well. Then I’ve been living with my housemate,’ he said.
‘And it sucked. I thought I was going to achieve so much having more time on my hands but I didn’t. All I did was drink myself into a stupor.’
Tommy said he’d wanted to take advantage of the time at home to write material for his upcoming stand-up show, I’ll See Myself Out, but his ‘brain turned to mush’.

He explained: ‘I didn’t have any motivation to write stuff. My comedy is quite happy, you know. When a lot of that joy has been sucked out of that existence… I found it hard to be fun.’
Reports surfaced in February that Tommy had quietly split from Natalie after about year of dating.
They debuted their romance in July 2020, but had vanished from each other’s social media feeds by the end of the year.
