Hustlers star Keke Palmer awkwardly propositioned on live TV

Well, this is cringe-worthy: Hustlers star Keke Palmer was ambushed with a request for a date during a live TV interview.

On to the next one.

Mike Johnson and singer Demi Lovato are apparently no longer dating because the US Bachelorette cast-off just asked Hustlers star Keke Palmer out on a date on national television.

During an appearance on US morning show Strahan, Sara and Keke on Monday, Johnson, 31, told Palmer, 26, “I made a mistake. I don’t like dating in public, but if I were to ask you if we can go on a date in public …”

Keke seemed stunned by the offer.

Before the reality star could finish asking Palmer out, the crowd cheered and she said, “What’s the next question? Michael, you got the next question.”

Johnson continued, “How would that make you feel? I heard she’s super adventurous.”

Co-host Michael Strahan then warned, “You mess up, I’m coming for you. You don’t want that.” He then added, “But, I will say, ya’ll look real good there sitting together. I ain’t going to lie to you.”

“I’m at work, guys!” Palmer responded, deflecting the question.

Co-host Sara Haines, 42, then chimed in, saying, “So is he!” and Strahan, 47, said, “OK, after commercial break, you’ll get another (chance).”

After the show, Palmer shared a clip of the segment on her Instagram with the caption, “Even at the workplace #imtakenbymyjob #strahansarakeke.” It is unclear whether she said “yes” or “no” to a date.

Wrap it up, guys.

Johnson and the Hustlers star do not follow each other yet on Instagram, but he still follows Lovato — his former flame.

Lovato, 27, and Johnson went on a few dates and the Bachelorette alum even spilt that the pop star “kisses really well.”

However, an insider told Us Weekly earlier this month that the couple were just “casually dating” and their relationship “isn’t anything serious”.

After Johnson publicly asked Palmer out on a date, Lovato shared a screenshot of Ariana Grande’s song Imagine on her Instagram Stories with a broken-heart emoji.
