Vikki Campion shot a telling glare at partner Barnaby Joyce when he revealed what he felt when he looked into the eyes of their newborn baby Sebastian.
In a tell-all interview with Channel Seven worth $150,000, the pair opened up about their scandalous relationship, abortion threats and clashes with family.
But it was Mr Joyce’s revelation about how his newborn’s ‘deep blue’ eyes made him feel which left viewers cringing and earned him a smirking stare from his partner.
‘You just look at these two blue eyes staring up at the blue sky, and staring back at you, Mr Joyce said.
‘And you look at Sebastian and you think, “Boy, man, you caused some problems”.’

Mr Joyce let out a hearty laugh to ease the tension as Ms Campion turned her gaze towards him, holding a tense grimace before relaxing and grinning too.
‘But it’s all worth it. And in my heart, what I want, in a funny way and it’s one of the reasons we are doing this, I want it to dissipate and disappear,’ Mr Joyce continued.
‘Because I just want him to be that little boy in the country,’
Ms Campion apologised to her son and ‘every innocent party that was dragged through this’.

The couple revealed they were ‘close for a long time’ while working together, before their relationship became romantic in late 2016.
‘I was close to him. I was going through some fairly difficult private circumstances of my own. He was also going through some things,’ she said.
Mr Joyce’s wife Natalie was becoming suspicious about his relationship with his media adviser as they continued to spend large amounts of time together.

Ms Campion apologised to her son (pictured) and ‘every innocent party that was dragged through this’.
Ms Campion said she couldn’t repeat the words Natalie used towards her during a confrontation in the streets of her hometown in Tamworth.
Mr Joyce admitted to living a lie by continuing his public relationship with his wife while secretly being involved with Ms Campion.
He refused to comment on his estranged wife Natalie and his four daughters, saying that was ‘completely private’.
Ms Campion revealed the backlash she felt after news of the affair and her pregnancy went public.
‘One I remember said: ‘I hope the baby is born stillborn’,’ she said of the social media comments she was subjected to – a comment which was particularly hurtful for her because of ‘health problems’ she had throughout the pregnancy.

The affair between Barnaby Joyce and his former media adviser Vikki Campion caused his salary to halve from $416,000 to $203,000 as backbencher with no portfolio (the couple are pictured here at a bar at Glebe in Sydney’s inner west last year before the news broke)
She also spoke of pressure she was put under by ‘conservatives’ inside the Australian parliament to terminate the pregnancy or risk losing her career prospects.
‘Everything was worth it for this,’ Ms Campion said, as she held the hand of her baby son.
The former accountant’s salary has also halved from $416,000 to $203,000 after the affair raised character questions about the Catholic, family values politician who had last year campaigned against gay marriage.
Despite the personal and political pain that caused to her boyfriend, Vikki Campion said that was the price of love.
‘I couldn’t help it. You can’t help who you fall in love with,’ she said.

Joyce refused to accept sole responsibility for the revealing tell-all – which many are calling hypocritical given the politician’s previous demands for privacy – due to the fact that Vikki will be interviewed as well
