Brendan Fevola was in protective dad mode this week when he confronted his daughter Mia about a rumoured romance on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!
Mia, 26, appeared on Brendan's Fifi, Fev & Nick radio show this week to chat about her time in the South African jungle.
Not beating around the bush, Brendan, 45, point-blank asked his daughter about recent reports that Mia had become quite cosy with host Robert Irwin.
'What's going on with Bob Irwin?' Brendan asked.
A clearly surprised Mia replied: 'Nothing,' before pausing in what Brendan called 'awkward silence.'
'I think you're really stitching me up here,' a shocked Mia added.

Brendan's co-host Nick Coady interjected with: 'This has gone from a radio show to dad picking up daughter at an 18th – "Who's that boy?"'
Co-host Fifi Box added some context for Mia, telling the reality star that her father had seen chatter about love blossoming between her and Robert online.
'This morning, Fev said: "ooh, it's everywhere that Bob and Mia are...," and I said: "I haven't seen it anywhere, and I wouldn't ask Mia about it," and then he's gone and asked you about it,' Fifi explained.
It appears that Brendan would be quite chuffed with the pairing as it would provide quite the boost to his property portfolio.
'Mate, I could be part owner in a zoo,' he joked.
Brendan's concern comes after Woman's Day claimed Mia and Robert were developing quite the rapport on set.
'Robert thinks Mia is absolutely stunning,' an insider told the publication.
'He had seen her on social media and on TV but in real life he was blown away and he thought she was awesome.'

It was also suggested that Robert was so smitten with Mia that he would get 'nervous in her presence'.
It was also claimed that the feeling was mutual, with Mia impressed by Robert's recent performance on US Dancing With The Stars.
'Mia watched Robert’s highlight reel from Dancing With The Stars and has seen the Bonds ad, and like the rest of Australia, she was very impressed,' the source added.
'She also thinks he is hilarious and loves how he can be cheeky and charming at the same time.'
It's not the first time that Mia has been the subject of jungle romance rumours.
An insider has told Daily Mail that producers attempted to manufacture a jungle romance between Tammy Hembrow's ex Matt Zukowski and Mia – only to see it fall flat as Mia was 'not interested' in the Love Island star.
'They were meant to be this season's flirtation storyline - it was a deliberate casting move, but it just didn't land,' the insider said.
Producers were hoping for sparks to fly between Matt and Mia, who have both been through high-profile break-ups in the last year.

The insider said Mia, who confirmed she was single in July after her split from long-term beau Bass Miller, was not 'naive'.
'Her parents raised their daughters to keep their eyes wide open, especially with certain types of guys,' they claimed.
'She's been warned about boys like Matt and the second she clocked his vibe, she knew what he was about.'
