British singer Yungblud has shared the hilariously awkward fallout from his recent naked escapade on a yacht in Sydney Harbour, which prompted a panicked phone call from his mother.
Mum's Mortifying Message Goes Viral
The 28-year-old musician, whose real name is Dominic Harrison, posted a social media clip detailing the moment his mother, Samantha, saw the now-viral images of her son's nude partying. "All right Sydney, f***ing hell – what a morning I have had," he told fans. "I've had me mum on the phone, 'YOUR PENIS IS IN TMZ!'"
Yungblud cheekily defended his antics, arguing it was "just good, f**king clean fun, innit?" However, he clarified that no explicit photos were actually published online. One widely circulated image showed him standing naked on the deck from behind, with his bare bottom visible to the camera.
A Raucous Harbour Party and 'Cougar' Call-Out
The incident occurred during a lively party on Sydney Harbour last Thursday, ahead of the Australian leg of his IDOLS World Tour. Guests included local socialite and artist Dina Broadhurst, 50, who is known for incorporating nudity into her work. While Yungblud stripped off for a skinny dip, Broadhurst remained in a pink bikini.
Prior to the event, Yungblud had playfully teased on Instagram that he was "coming for the cougars," referencing a newspaper headline that asked 'Why cougars all want Yungblud'. He has previously noted that some of his most ardent fans are middle-aged women, quipping to news.com.au: "The older birds... The nails are sharper."
Tour Kicks Off Amid Personal Revelations
Despite his flirty banter, the rocker is in a committed relationship with LA-based singer and fashion designer Jesse Jo Stark, 34, whom he has described as "the love of my life." The couple recently rekindled their romance after a brief split.
Yungblud's highly anticipated Australian tour is now underway, having launched at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena on Saturday, 10th January. The tour schedule includes:
- Melbourne: Sidney Myer Music Bowl, Tuesday 13th January
- Adelaide: Adelaide Entertainment Centre, Thursday 15th January
- Brisbane: Riverstage, Saturday 17th & Sunday 18th January
- Perth: Ice Cream Factory, Tuesday 20th January
The artist, whose music has amassed eight billion streams globally, is credited by many with revitalising rock music for a new generation.
