Rob Mills faced an inquisition as he appeared on The Project on Friday night.
The singer was joined on the show by his fiancée, regular panellist Georgie Tunny, with her co-stars pressuring Mills to set a wedding date.
‘You guys have been engaged forever. Can you finally do it?’ quipped Waleed Aly, leaving Rob flustered and struggling to answer.
‘We’re both very busy. I’ve only just finished work Friday last week’ he said quickly, looking quite awkward.
‘So I’ve ben touring for the last year and a half doing the musical. Best thing I’ve ever done’ he added.
‘Best thing he’s ever done, did you hear that?’ Waleed asked Georgie, who shared an embarrassed laugh before trying to joke about the wording.
‘It does add up because in our early days of dating, we dated for a year and Robert got a bonsai plant and he said it’s his biggest achievement. And I was like, hello?’ she said.
Michael Hing then compounded the awkwardness by asking rob, ‘Are you worried that when you get back off tour, you would have to live with her that you might not like it?’

A smattering of polite laughter from the cast followed the question, with Georgie looking coy.
‘I have a been back home the last four nights. She’s moved some furniture. Some pictures have gone up’ Rob tried to joke.
‘We want a date by the end of this segment’ Waleed insisted, and a flustered Rob replied, ‘No pressure’.
It comes after Tunny shared a bittersweet birthday tribute to her fiancé In June, after the couple spent the last year in a long-distance relationship.
‘Robert and I always liken our relationship to a see-saw, when one of us is flailing the other stays grounded, when one is earthbound the other lifts them up,’ she said.
‘It’s been a tough year. Long distance brings with it missed calls, countless FaceTimes, hilarious dates, and a simmering loneliness without your [lobster emoji].
‘But we’re nearly there! And I’m so proud of him. And I think you should all be proud of him, too. And it’s his birthday.’

He wrote in his caption: ‘Best road trip of my life. I asked this girl to be my wife… Happy New Year everyone.’
He continued: ‘Hope you learnt some new skills throughout the last few years. Went deeper. Loved harder. Listened more. It’s worth it.
‘Had a few beers with a mate the other day. He offered up some advice about marriage… ‘Give.’ That was it. Simple. I’m gonna give it a go. Cause she’s worth it.’
Georgie shared the same image to her own social media, writing: ‘Honestly, gtfo 2021… although, you did finish with a bang’.

Rob additionally posted a photo of the road trip the pair took together in the lead up to the New Year, during which he proposed.
The Dancing With The Stars All-Stars contestant has been dating Georgie since 2018.
While attending Melbourne’s Derby Day, Rob told Daily Mail Australia that ‘things are going really well’ with Georgie.
At the time, he stayed mum when asked if an engagement is on the cards, instead repeating how things are ‘going well’.
Rob said that it was an honour to have experienced Melbourne’s gruelling 18-month lockdown with Georgie.
‘Lockdown was fine for me, I live with my wonderful partner,’ he proudly said.
The musical theatre performer previously revealed how he convinced her to go on a date with him.

Rob explained to The Sydney Morning Herald that he first became enamoured with the journalist when he saw her on TV.
‘I flicked on the television to ABC News Breakfast and went, ”Who is that?!” She was beautiful and articulate. I needed to know her,’ he said at the time.
‘I sent her a direct message on Instagram, which opened with, ‘I promise I’m not crazy’.
Although Georgie was initially unsure if the message was actually from Rob, it didn’t take much to convince her to go on a date.
The television presenter was a ‘massive fan’ of Australian Idol when Rob was a contestant.
The couple took another next step forward in their relationship in 2020, with Georgie moving into Rob’s place.
