Gold Logie nominee Andy Lee copped a very unpleasant surprise when he went for a drive in his flash Audi in Melbourne on Sunday.
The 42-year-old comedian failed to see the funny side after finding a day-old traffic fine of $96 on the windscreen of his car in a popular restaurant precinct in Richmond, after seemingly leaving the vehicle there overnight.
Andy looked somewhat puzzled as he double-checked the parking signs on the street after making the grim discovery.
Dressed for the chilly and wet winter day in a puffer jacket, jeans and grey beanie, the podcaster and TV host was seen grabbing the ticket to check the details of the fine.
The penalty notice was for a $96 parking infringement and was issued by Yarra City Council under Road Safety Rules 2017 on June 29.
‘Parked failed to pay fee and obey instructions on sign/meter/ticket, etc,’ the notice read.
At one point, Andy was seen discussing the situation with an unidentified person at the wheel of the car.
It comes after Andy and his fiancée Rebecca Harding celebrated their recent engagement by kicking off their ambitious $5 million renovation project last month.

The glamour couple toasted to new beginnings by throwing a chic garden party outside their Melbourne mansion, known as Ravenswood.
The scenes of renovation – peeling ceilings and stripped walls inside the grand old structure – did little to dampen spirits.
After a decade together, Andy made the decision to propose to Rebecca, 31, sharing the tender moment on his popular podcast with co-host Hamish Blake.

The news, which brought joy and tears to their close friends, including Hamish and his wife Zoe Foster Blake, marks a new chapter for the beloved Australian comedian.
Meanwhile, Lee and Harding have battled rumours they have secretly wed for years.
Engagement rumours were sparked in 2020 when Lee posted a photo of Harding hiding her left hand while celebrating her 30th birthday.

‘Is there a ring she’s hiding with her left sleeve?’ one eagle-eyed follower wrote, keen to see if the pair were about to share exciting news.
Andy faces stiff competition in the Gold Logie race.
The other contenders include Tony Armstrong, Robert Irwin, and his I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here co-host Julia Morris.
Sonia Kruger, Asher Keddie, and Larry Emdur are also up for the prestigious gong.
