Joshua Sasse made a rare appearance on Channel Seven’s The Morning Show on Wednesday to discuss his new series Outrageous.
But things took an awkward turn when the show’s host Kylie Gillies asked him about his ex-fiancée Kylie Minogue.
After discussing his role on the show and his film Love Is in the Air alongside Delta Goodrem, Kylie asked him about his past.
‘You must love working with Aussie singers because you were in a Kylie Minogue music video,’ she said.
‘Was I?’ a confused Joshua responded before adding: ‘Ohh yes that happened. It was a last minute thing.’
Kylie asked: ‘Were you dating? Because you dated there for a while.’

‘Yes we were, we were engaged,’ Joshua said before explaining how he ended up in the video clip.
‘We didn’t know what to do for the video and we all pitched in last minute and that happened.’
Joshua was just 27 when he fell for pop superstar Kylie, who was 20 years his senior, after she signed up for a guest role in his musical comedy series Galavant.
Their romance didn’t exactly have a fairytale beginning as it was reported Joshua was still married to his ex Francesca Cini, with whom he shares a son, when he met Kylie on set in the summer of 2015.
The romance was an open secret on set, though – so much so that even Joshua’s co-star Vinnie Jones joked that the actor had his sights set on Kylie from the start.
In February 2016, just six months after meeting, Sasse proposed.
A year later, and the whirlwind romance came crashing down, as the couple revealed they had called off their engagement.
At the time of their separation, it was reported that Kylie had suspected Joshua was cheating on her.

The rumours were never confirmed, but Joshua never took legal action against the dozens of news outlets that called him a cheater.
After their split, he went on to date another Australian, Louisa Ainsworth.
They married in 2018, welcomed two children and settled in for a quiet life in Byron Bay – a coastal town in northern New South Wales.
But last month, Joshua confirmed they had separated just hours after he was papped canoodling with a Byron Bay local.
He told Daily Mail that he and Louisa had decided to part ways ‘after thoughtful consideration and with mutual respect’.
One day earlier, Joshua and a local woman looked very comfortable in each other’s company at North Belongil Beach Park Reserve.
The woman – who is also married – arrived, parking next to Joshua, before the pair exited their vehicles, happily walking and talking with a dog in tow.
At one stage, she placed her hand under his T-shirt to rub his chest while gazing into his eyes. Their meeting lasted about 25 minutes before the pair headed back to their respective vehicles.
