Caitríona Perry wins praise for handling ‘awkward’ interview with Kid Rock after he calls her ‘sexy’

Caitríona Perry has won praise for handling a seriously awkward interview with Kid Rock.

The Irish broadcaster, who previously hosted the Six One News on RTÉ, is a Chief Presenter with the BBC, and is based in Washington DC.

On Inauguration Day in the US, Caitríona interviewed Kid Rock, a prominent supporter of US president Donald Trump, live on BBC News.

The musician told her he was celebrating the “rebirth of America” after Trump was sworn in as President for the second time.

The 54-year-old, who was smoking a cigar throughout the interview, then asked Caitríona: “What about you? What are you doing? Where you at?”

Caitríona noted that she had a long day of broadcasting ahead of her, and he replied: “I mean, I can’t see you right now, so I don’t know what you look like…”

Referencing the cold weather and the fact she was broadcasting outdoors, she said: “I look like I’m ready to hit the slopes. I’m in full on ski gear here.”

In a bizarre moment, Kid Rock responded: “I love to go skiing. You sound sexy. You want to go with me?”

Clearly taken aback, Caitríona paused before she replied: “Well, we won’t get into that right here! We’re doing no skiing today, we’ve got a broadcast to do.

Wrapping up their interview, she added: “But Kid Rock, thank you so much for joining us here on BBC News. Enjoy your day!”

The awkward interview has since gone viral on social media, with many praising the Irish presenter for the way she handled his inappropriate remark.
