Rob said that it was an honour to have experienced Melbourne's gruelling 18-month lockdown with Georgie.

The Dancing With The Stars All-Stars contestant has been dating Georgie since 2018.
The two looked more loved-up than ever in a snap shared to Rob's Instagram on Saturday, with the couple attending the Derby Day together.

'#RaceReady @georgie_tunny and I working together for the first time! @channel10au @10sportau,' he captioned the picture of the two.
For the event, Rob wore a pinstriped three-piece grey suit, teamed with a white shirt and polka-dot tie.
Meanwhile his stunning reporter girlfriend Georgie donned a tuxedo-dress by Rachel Gilbert and accessorised with a matching monochrome top hat.
In August, the musical theatre performer 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 29-year-old 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 have since taken the next step in their relationship, with Georgie moving into Rob's place in early 2020.

Earlier this month, Rob wrapped up his stint on Dancing With The Stars All-Stars, which is set to air on Channel Seven in 2022.
'It was harder, there's more pressure because there are people who have been there before.
'It was a really fun job, I wanted to go better than I did last time, after leaving the second week in. I can't wait for people to see it,' he added.
