News Anchor Shuts Down Kid Rock After He Calls Her ‘Sexy’ And ‘Asked Her Out’ During Interview
A BBC News anchor shut down Kid Rock flirting and asking her out during a live interview.
She was filmed shutting him down after he referred to her as ‘sexy’ and even asked her out.
The exchange occurred during the network’s live coverage of Donald Trump’s Inauguration Day.
The American musician, a vocal supporter of the incoming president, had performed at Trump’s ‘victory rally’ the night before and joined the broadcast to discuss his plans for the day.
However, the interview took an unexpected turn when he decided to make personal remarks about the presenter.
The brief but awkward moment left viewers reacting strongly on social media.
One user on X commented: “Yikes. I cringed so hard.”
Another remarked: “I think I just watched @KidRock ask an @BBCNews reporter (that he couldn’t see) out on a date while being interviewed. All very wholesome and funny.”
Others described the exchange as ‘one of the most awkward things’ they’d seen.
Appearing via video call, Kid Rock – whose real name is Robert James Ritchie – asked Irish journalist Caitríona Perry about her plans for the day.
“What about you? What are you doing? Where you at?” he inquired.
Perry, standing on a rooftop in Washington D.C., responded professionally, explaining that she was enduring ‘very, very chilly conditions’ and would be on air for 11 to 12 hours.
“I don’t think I’ll have anywhere near as fun a day as you have planned for yourself there. That sounds like you got the better deal here indeed,” she added with a smile.
The rapper then admitted he couldn’t see Perry on the call and didn’t know what she looked like.
Maintaining her composure, Perry remarked that she was ‘ready to hit the slopes,’ dressed in full ski gear to stay warm.
Seizing the moment, Kid Rock quipped: “I love to go skiing. You sound sexy, you want to go with me?”
Without missing a beat, Perry deflected the remark, keeping the tone professional.
“Well, we won’t get into that right here. We’re doing no skiing today—we’ve got a day of broadcasting to do,” she replied before smoothly transitioning to close the interview.
“But Kid Rock, thank you so much for joining us here on BBC News. Enjoy your day.”
