Bec Judd’s on air snub leaves sports reporter red faced

Awkward!

Awkward!

Bec Judd said goodbye to her 9NEWS team before going on maternity leave last night but her exit was one that will be remembered.

The media personality, who is expecting twins with her husband Chris Judd, was in the middle of bidding adieu to Melbourne news anchor Peter Hitchener when sports reporter Tony Jones thought it might be nice to say his goodbyes on air too.

Among the pleasantries Jones, who had his arm around Judd, leaned in for a kiss but just before the his lips could make contact with Bec’s cheek she turned away in a terribly awkward snub.

Later a red faced Jones turned to Twitter to highlight his embarrassment but a cheery Bec assured him there was no love lost.

But this isn’t the first time Bec has rejected Tony live on air.

In 2013 after Judd telling viewers they were in store for a “nice and sunny for the weekend” Jones suggested the weather presenter “come round for a barbie”.

“No thanks,” Judd said a giggly Judd.
