LOOKS like the Judds have well and truly kissed and made up with Channel 9 sports presenter Tony Jones.
Former Carlton football star Chris Judd ambushed Jones — nicknamed Chompers — in the corridors of Channel 9 on Monday night and plonked a cheeky kiss on his cheek.
Judd was in the building to appear on Footy Classified as a guest and bumped into Jones who was signing off after the nightly news bulletin.
The kiss, which was posted on Facebook, showed there were no hard feelings after Jones’ awkward on-air run in with Judd’s pregnant wife Rebecca a week earlier.
Weather presenter Bec had just delivered her last report before maternity leave, when Jones and news stalwart Peter Hitchener wished her well for the impending arrival of the couple’s twin boys.
ON-AIR EMBARRASSMENT: I just wanted the bulletin to end: Jones
NEW FACE: Conway to replace Judd during leave
Jones then leaned in for a kiss on air, but Bec dodged, before collapsing into giggles with Hitchener.
Hitchener could barely contain his laughter while wrapping up the program.
The awkward encounter quickly went viral on social media.
Red faced Jones later admitted: “All I could think of was please let this end and throw to the closer.”
“Most people can see the funny side of it. It might look awkward but we all do get on like a house on fire,” he said.
Bec responded by tweeting Jones after the bulletin: “You know I love you”.
It seems hubby Chris does too.
