Sensing the chemistry between them, fellow Project panelist Lisa Wilkinson couldn’t resist asking Brooke how ‘hot’ she wanted the contestants to be ‘on a scale of one to Tony Armstrong’.
Tony then mugged for the camera, shooting Brooke a seductive gaze, which prompted her to burst out laughing.
‘Brooke, you did say it was good to see you Tony. Would you like to see Tony arrive in the Bachelor mansion?’ asked fellow panelist Peter Helliar.

Seemingly unsure about what to say, a red-faced Brooke simply laughed off the comments, but refused to answer Pete’s question.
‘We’re getting ambushed here, Brooke,’ Tony told her, prompting Brooke to respond, ‘We absolutely are. I’m backed into a corner right now.’
Tony then advised her to ‘take that earpiece out’, before telling her ‘we can walk away’.
