KARL Stefanovic’s 60 Minutes interview with pop sensation Kylie Minogue took an awkward turn last night after he called her “hot” and told her to stop dating “d**kheads.”
The 43-year-old, who is at the centre of an Uber audio leak drama in which he badmouthed his colleagues, was the host of Sunday night’s episode.
Stefanovic, who is engaged to shoe designer Jasmine Yarbrough, 34, was chatting to Minogue for her latest promotion for her album Golden.

But things went downhill after they began to discuss her age.
“My friends say ‘Do you know what? I’m just going to try to enjoy myself, I’m just going to try love the people I love, do the best I can, understand as best as possible where I am in the world, where I may have stuffed it up, where I am at the moment,” she said on air.
Stefanovic responded: “Well, you’re doing it very well. I mean, it helps obviously that you’re a hot 50-year-old.”
Minogue was filmed squirming in her seat when she finally said: “Oh, well, thanks. We try, we try.”
“I mean, I don’t know what to say to that”
Stefanovic then focused the interview to her failed relationship with British actor Joshua Sasse.
“Stop dating incredibly good-looking d**kheads,” he told her.
Minogue discussed the split telling Stefanovic that she was “thankful.”
“I’m thankful. I don’t want to go through it again but there’s some lessons that take a little while to learn,” she said.
“Is it because I’m 49 and eleven twelfths that I’m becoming a little wiser? I do feel like I’ve kind of shed a skin.”
In Feburaury, Minogue revealed how she had “nervous breakdown” after splitting from fiance Sasse.
She told The Sunday Times at the time: “I just wanted to stop.”
“I knew I needed to heal … My physical system was compromised. I think it’s called a nervous breakdown.”
