While New Idea is told Harry was just filming a one-off guest cooking spot, judging by Joh’s grin, she’d happily have him as a permanent addition to the long-running lifestyle program.

The former Olympic swimmer, 49, had a big hug for the crooner before they got down to filming.

Harry is on the judging panel alongside Amy Shark, Meghan Trainor and Kyle Sandilands, and Kyle has said their relationship is “prickly”.
