Channel Nine’s Richard Wilkins is caught in a compromising moment with a fan as he spends several minutes signing a bizarrely elaborate autograph
Richard Wilkins found himself in an awkward position on Friday when he ran into a fan who asked for a picture and autograph.
The Weekend Today co-host, 68, was happy to oblige the woman’s wishes as he sketched out an elaborate autograph on her work vest across her chest.
The fan, whose name was Marie, was all smiles as she cuddled up to the entertainment editor during a break and posed for a photo to show her friends and family.
Meanwhile Wilkins had a look of concentration as he scrawled, ‘Marie, much love, Richard Wilkins,’ across her chest.
After they parted ways, Wilkins got back to his newspaper puzzles, setting up on a park bench for some fresh air as he waited for a car to pick him up.

Dressed all in black with tight jeans, a tucked in button-up and a velvet suit jacket, Wilkins was also spotted taking an important phone call before he left the work site.
It was announced in late December last year that Wilkins will take on the title of Network Entertainment Editor this year.
The Channel Nine veteran celebrated 35 years with the network in May by throwing a poolside party at his home in Sydney’s Cremorne and inviting all his famous friends.

The likes of Sylvia Jeffreys, Lauren Phillips, Ben Fordham, Jayne Azzopardi and Tim Gilbert were all in attendance.
Jeffreys and Phillips both took to Instagram to congratulate Richard on his incredible career milestone.
Alongside a group photo from the party, Jeffreys, 36, wrote: ‘Dickie is the kind of friend who makes you feel like family. I’m so proud to call him a mate and to celebrate his 35 years at Channel Nine. We love you Dickie Bird.’
Phillips also shared two photos of herself embracing Wilkins and holding onto a glass of Champagne.
