A Rebecca Judd prepares to welcome her twin boys, she farewelled the team at Nine News to head off on maternity leave.
Her last broadcast almost went off without a hitch, however in the final moments, as she was saying goodbye, things turned awkward. Really awkward.
As co-host Peter Hitchener said the final goodbye and was wishing her well, sports anchor Tony Jones walked into the shot to also bid Bec farewell.
First of all, Jones put an arm around Bec, lingering it there as the trio spoke.
But then as he said “Good luck, Bec,” he leaned in for a kiss, presumably he was going for the cheek but a surprised Bec quickly squealed and pulled away.
Jones took a step back, crossed his arms, and said: “Ok, good, this is going well.”
The three broke out in laughter and Hitchener quickly wrapped up the show.
Afterwards Bec took to Instagram to laugh off the incident. “Okaaaaaaaaay then. Final weather bulletin before maternity leave didn’t quite go to plan but as always, thanks to my wonderful@9newsmelbourne family for the laughs.@phitchener9 @tonyjones9
Jones also took to Twitter, writing “Well that was… #awkward”.
