An interview with musician Kid Rock went off the rails when he flirted with BBC News presenter CaitrĂona Perry, who was justifiably at a loss for words when he asked her out on a date during the live broadcast.
Rock, whose real name is Robert James Ritchie, is a major supporter and friend of Republican President Donald Trump.
He performed at the Make America Great Again Rally held at Capital One Arena in Washington D.C. on Sunday ahead of Trump's inauguration on January 20.
During his interview with the BBC's chief presenter in D.C., the 54-year-old MAGA supporter was asked what he was looking forward to seeing most at the inauguration.
However, things took an awkward turn when Ritchie asked Perry where she was conducting their interview from.
âIâm standing on a rooftop in these very very chilly conditions. Weâll be on air for 12 hours so I donât think Iâll have anywhere near as fun a day as you have planned for yourself!â she replied.
Ritchie responded by saying that he couldn't see Perry and, therefore, had no idea what she looked like.
Perry replied:
âI look like Iâm ready to hit the slopes, I can tell you."
"Iâm in full-on ski gear here with my hat, gloves, the whole thing, ready to rock because youâve got to be wrapped up against the elements donât you."
Ritchie then commented:
âI love to go skiing. You sound sexy, you want to go with me?â
Here's a clip from the interview.
His invitation threw Perry, and she was speechless before managing to articulate a response.
âWell, we wonât get into that right here,â she eventually replied and maintained she was all business for the time being.
âWeâre doing no skiing here, weâve got a day of broadcasting to do," said Perry.
Appalled internet users weighed in on Ritchie's cringe interview.
Others weren't surprised by Ritchie's lack of class.
Perry was admired for moving things along expertly.
The "Bawitdaba" singer recently shared that the then-president-elect had reached out to him to clarify a joke he had heard regarding the Secret Service and strippers.
âFriday morning I got a call from the President and [Trumpâs spouse] Melania and it was kind of mind-blowing, Iâve tried to leave him alone, heâs got a lot on his plate, I would think, right now,â Kid Rock said, adding:
âHe called and he goes, âDid the Secret Service really tell you that you canât use strippers?ââ
Ritchie confirmed that the Secret Service planning to ban strippers at a rally in D.C. was a joke, to which Trump allegedly replied, "Ah, that's funny."
The private phone call also allegedly covered a discussion about moving the location of the inauguration to inside the Capitol Rotunda, with the musician's input, in anticipation of the chilly temperatures expected that day.
