Wild footage has resurfaced of Robbie Williams 'snocking' an Australian TV reporter on her first day on the job.
Robbie Williams, 50, was 27 when he appeared on Channel V in 2000.
In a video posted to Instagram on Monday, a young ponytailed Osher Gunsberg can be seen introducing reporter Yumi Steins to the world-famous musician in front of a live audience.
'Now, it's Yumi's first day,' Osher began, introducing the pop star to the young reporter.
Robbie held Yumi's gaze and said, 'Nice to meet you. Are we going to snoke?'
To the shock of both Osher and the studio audience, Yumi agreed, and the British pop star leaned in for a long, open-mouthed kiss.
After coming up for air, a seemingly impressed Yumi fans herself with a sheet.
Despite comments about re-released footage of the kiss suggesting the Angels singer would be 'arrested' for the act in 2024, the surprise moment was actually planned by Yumi.
The first day on the job as a young reporter on Australian music TV Channel V dates back to 2000.
The 49-year-old podcaster and writer has revealed that she actually set up the kiss to protect her job at the music TV channel.
Later working as a chef, he answered a newspaper ad in Melbourne and queued with hundreds of TV hopefuls before receiving a call back for a second live audition in Sydney.
She was one of eight finalists for a job on Australia's own 24-hour music TV channel.

The podcaster and writer actually asked the Angels singer if she'd 'bash' to land a steamy stunt backstage, and her work
'We're sure Robbie Williams is the person you'll be interviewing for your live interview,' said Yumi. The Guardian recalled her career-changing moment.
I thought, 'Oh, Robbie Williams, he's a big deal.'
“If I were actually going to interview Robbie Williams, what would I ask him? I thought I would ask him if I could kiss him if he wanted to represent women like me.
He described the backstage atmosphere as very quiet, with only Osher, a producer in a headset, and Robbie and his manager in the room.
Yumi Staines attended the Australian Music Awards 2024 at Fortitude Music Hall in Brisbane last week. The 49-year-old feminist was holding the ball alongside Aussie singer Sarah McLeod.
After asking Robbie if he can 'bash' on stage, Robbie's manager has to explain to the star what 'bashing' is.
'Oh snogging, oh yes. ok I'd better have a mint,' said Robbie.
'We called the action and the cameras started rolling. Before I could ask him anything, Robbie said: 'So, we're going to snook, then?'
'He grabbed me, did a ballroom dance dip and planted a big, fat, wet, open-mouthed kiss on my mouth. Everyone started screaming and it was chaotic.
Throwing Chanel to break, Robbie grabs her and kisses her a second time.
He said that when he visited the Foxtel offices, the other seven finalists knew that Yumi had done herself the job with that kiss.
At the time of the interview, the former Take That singer was five years into her solo career and at the height of her fame on the Weddings, Parties & Stadiums tour in support of her third studio album, Sing When You're Winning.
