British singer Yungblud caused a major stir last week when he appeared as a guest on the Kicpod podcast, leaving its host, fitness influencer and bikini model Steph Claire Smith, in a state of delightful fluster.
A Star-Struck Superfan Meets Her Idol
The 31-year-old mother-of-two, a self-confessed superfan of the rocker, was visibly nervous ahead of the interview. In a video shared on her Instagram, Smith admitted she was "in a sweat" while waiting for the 28-year-old musician to arrive. Her anxiety quickly turned to blushing excitement when Yungblud entered the Melbourne studio bearing a chocolate birthday cake for her recent milestone.
The singer greeted her with a casual "Hi Babe, how you doing? I got you a little cake, I heard it's your birthday," before handing over the sweet gift. An overwhelmed and gushing Smith then received the first of several hugs from the performer, struggling to compose herself as the recording began.
Fan Reactions and an Aussie Accent Showcase
After the amusing clip was posted online, fans flooded the comments with shared enthusiasm. One follower wrote, "Omg I would literally die!", while others expressed their jealousy at the encounter. Smith herself captioned the post, assuring fans that meeting this particular idol was far from a disappointment.
During his trip Down Under, Yungblud also showcased a surprisingly adept Australian accent. Appearing on the Today Show, he impressed the host and viewers alike by perfectly mimicking the local twang, discussing a morning swim at Bondi Beach. Social media reactions were swift, with many jokingly approving his "visa" and encouraging him to move to Australia permanently.
Tour Continues Amid the Buzz
The memorable podcast episode has generated significant buzz online, coinciding with Yungblud's ongoing Australian tour. The performer is next scheduled to play a show in Brisbane this Saturday, no doubt carrying with him the stories of his charming Melbourne visit and his newfound flair for the Aussie accent.
