An Australian dad and his adult daughter left radio hosts and audiences speechless after pretending to be a couple, going so far as to make out on-air - all to win a cash prize during a live broadcast.
The jaw-dropping moment unfolded on KIIS 106.5’s breakfast show in 2020, hosted by Kyle Sandilands and Jackie 'O' Henderson, during a game segment called Boyfriend or Daddy.
And it went viral... naturally.
The Premise Of The Challenge
The rules of the game were simple: a woman would enter the studio with a man, and the hosts had to guess whether he was her boyfriend or her father. If the hosts guessed incorrectly, the pair would walk away with AU $1,000 (US $661).
On this particular occasion, 26-year-old Stacey arrived at the station accompanied by 49-year-old Nick. What the hosts didn’t realize was that they weren’t a couple at all - they were family.
From the moment they entered the studio, Stacey and Nick leaned into their act. The pair kissed each other on the lips in full view of the cameras before sitting down for a round of questions designed to catch them out.
“I have a thing for older guys,” Stacey told the hosts. “My dad told me to go find a nice Greek boy, ‘cause I’m a little bit Greek, so I did.
"They weren’t too impressed at the beginning, but he’s come around. They seem to go fishing and stuff together now.”
Cringe-Inducing Questions Put the Fake Couple to the Test
Hoping to trip them up, Jackie O began pressing with increasingly awkward questions—starting with bedroom preferences.
“With your boyfriend, what is your favourite sexual position in the bedroom?” she asked.
Stacey didn’t flinch. “I’m a little bit smaller than him so I kind of don’t like to be smothered, so being on top is definitely the way to go with us.”
Nick was then asked if Stacey enjoyed oral sex, and he replied: “It took a while to get me to come around that way, both giving and receiving.”
Despite the intimate details, the hosts still couldn’t tell if they were being duped.
The Kiss That Crossed a Line
Running out of ways to determine the truth, Jackie O pushed for a final test.
“There’s only one way to decide this. Would you guys be willing to give each other just a little kiss on the lips? This is your boyfriend or your dad? So feel free to kiss as much as you want,” she said.
What followed was more than a quick peck. Stacey and Nick launched into a full-on make-out session, leaving Sandilands stunned.
“It has to be a boyfriend,” he exclaimed. “It can't be the father, no one kisses their father like that... unless you live in the mountains and have no neighbours.”
The Truth Comes Out
After the shocking display, Stacey revealed the truth.
“The things we do for money – this is actually my father!" she confessed.
She added: "My boyfriend’s going to be mortified".
Despite pulling off the stunt and walking away with AU $1,000, the father-daughter duo faced intense public backlash.
Though they technically won the game, the controversial performance sparked widespread outrage and debate over just how far people are willing to go for a quick payout.
