Tony Jones stormed off live TV after a savage swipe about his infamous moment with presenter Bec Judd.<\/p>\n
Jones was hosting Channel Nine’s Footy Show on Sunday when Gold Coast Suns youngster Zeke Uwland made the cheeky swipe about the notorious kiss during a 2016 Nine News Melbourne bulletin.<\/p>\n
As the players and panellists took part in a game where they had to hit a target with a handball, Uwland was asked if he had watched the show previously when Jones had failed in the challenge.<\/p>\n
\u201cOh I don\u2019t know, I\u2019ve just seen Bec Judd that\u2019s all,\u201d Uwland hit back.<\/p>\n
The Footy Show panel of Matthew Lloyd, Damian Barratt, Nathan Brown and Rory Sloane broke out into laughter as Jones stormed off set.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll tell you what, I don\u2019t mind copping s**t from you lot but when I start getting it from that, I\u2019m out of here,\u201d Jones remarked.<\/p>\n
The sports presenter failed to see the funny side of the jibe and remained off screen for the rest of Sunday’s show.<\/p>\n
Uwland’s swipe was a reference to the infamously awkward moment between Jones and Judd six years ago.<\/p>\n
TV presenter Judd, who was reading the weather during a Nine News Melbourne bulletin, was signing off for the final time after previously confirming her departure from the show.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As she delivered the forecast, sports presenter Jones put his arm around her and leaned in to kiss her on the cheek.<\/p>\n
However, in an excruciating embarrassing moment, Judd quickly turned her face away in horror.<\/p>\n
Jones turned away and the pair nervously laughed in response to the now-infamous incident.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Judd has since addressed the moment, joking Jones was “scared” to approach her at the 2024 Brownlow Medal.<\/p>\n
\u201cDid TJ try and kiss you hello downstairs,\u201d Lloyd asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe didn\u2019t. I was a bit disappointed. I thought he was going to go in for a crack and I\u2019d make a joke about it. And, do you know what, I think he\u2019s scared to be honest. He looked and he kind of went ugh,” Judd responded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tony Jones stormed off live TV after a savage swipe about his infamous moment with presenter Bec Judd.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":559386,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[64,63,230867,447,36783,134,276067],"class_list":["post-559385","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-bec-judd","tag-celebrities","tag-channel-nine","tag-entertainment","tag-tony-jones"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/559385","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=559385"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/559385\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/559386"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=559385"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=559385"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=559385"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
