Music legend Jon Bon Jovi has dropped in on 7NEWS reporter Jelisa Apps just moments before her live cross from London.
Apps, in the UK capital for the Kangaroos’ rugby league Ashes tour against England, was preparing to cross back to 7NEWS Brisbane when a security guard for Bon Jovi wandered over.
“Is that Bon Jovi behind us?” Apps was heard asking.

The security guard could be heard asking if Apps was from “Channel Seven in Australia” before Bon Jovi wandered over.
“It’s freezing,” Bon Jovi said.
“Are you here for the rugby match?”
Bon Jovi said he was outside Wembley Stadium in London because was getting ready to return to work.
“To see that venue right there,” he said.
When Apps asked Bon Jovi what he liked about playing Wembley, the music legend smiled before admitting: “I’ll get back to you”.
The singer then told Apps he was looking forward to getting back to Australia.
“I have to come back Down Under where I belong,” he said.
Bon Jovi then kept walking, continuing on with his entourage as Apps stared back at the camera in disbelief at what had just happened.
Bon Jovi later met the Australian players at training.
He posed for photos with the team, caught a long pass niftily, got introduced to coach Kevin Walters and even received a hug from an unnamed admirer in the green and gold.
These Aussies were “tough sons of bitches”, he was heard noting admiringly, while musing about rugby league being “football without helmets.”
“It was great to see him at training,” said Walters.
“We didn’t know that was happening. It was good to get him in and around the boys, he was pretty popular.
“I’m not sure if he’s coming to the game, but it was a good boost for our guys to meet him.”
It’s not the first time Bon Jovi has been in the right place at the right time.
In September last year police in Nashville, Tennessee, praised Bon Jovi for helping prevent a tragedy by speaking to a woman who was on the ledge of a bridge.
The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department said Bon Jovi and his team were at the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge as a woman stood precariously over the Cumberland River.
Bon Jovi and others talked to the woman and helped her come back onto the bridge, police said.
“It takes all of us to help keep each other safe,” Police Chief John Drake said in a brief statement on X.
Police released security video of the interaction, in which a woman in blue holds on to the railing while she stands on the ledge. Other people pass her, and farther down the bridge, Bon Jovi’s team appears to be setting up for a video or photo shoot.
A man, who appears to be Bon Jovi, walks over to the woman with someone else as his team stands farther away. The man waves hello at her and then leans on the railing near her.
There is no audio, but it appears they begin speaking. The person with Bon Jovi gets closer and holds on to the woman’s forearm.
After about a minute, Bon Jovi walks to the woman’s other side, and the pair help her back onto the pedestrian walkway.
Other people walk over after the woman is safe, and Bon Jovi embraces her in a hug. A few minutes later, he leaves the bridge with her.
The rugby league Ashes series in London marks the first since 2003, when Australia defeated Great Britain 3-0.
Australia have won the last 13 Ashes series dating back to 1973, but the hosts have regularly challenged with wins in the first game and forcing the Kangaroos to come back.
This England side looms as more familiar to the Kangaroos with AJ Brimson’s debut making for five NRL players in the 19-man squad on Saturday as well as ex-Canberra half George Williams.
