Andy Lee has issued a stern warning to 9Honey’s Maria Thattil on the Logies red carpet while putting in some last-minute work promoting his show The Hundred with Andy Lee.
The show is nominated for the Logie for Most Popular Comedy Program, and Lee revealed Australians voting for the show were also supporting an important cause.
“Every vote for The Hundred saves a small puppy,” Lee told Thattil on the red carpet.

“Do it for the puppies!” chimed in his partner Rebecca Harding, who wowed in a white gown with black bow detail on the big night.
Though we can’t confirm how serious the pair were about votes saving puppies, Lee was surprisingly earnest when it came to the topic of the Gold Logie.
His longtime mate Hamish Blake was up for the award and if he won, it would be the first time a star took home back-to-back Gold Logies in 15 years.
When Thattil asked Lee and Harding who they thought would take home the coveted award, Lee confessed they were definitely biased.
“I’m biased. I’m Hame the whole way, we’re both voting for Hame and got the family to do it as well,” he said with a smile.
He and Harding hit the red carpet after weeks of speculation about their romance, after a romantic trip to Europe together sparked fresh marriage rumours.
The couple met at a Melbourne café in 2014 and have been inseparable ever since, with fans eager to see them tie the knot after almost a decade of dating.
All eyes were on Harding’s left hand as she and Lee arrived on Sunday night, but there was nary a diamond to be seen on her ring finger.
“I’ve been married several times so far. I’ve had lots of secret weddings,” Lee, 42, joked to 9Entertainment of speculation surrounding his personal life.
Though they’re not married yet, Lee and Harding looked smitten as they chatted with Thattil and were photographed holding hands before heading into the awards ceremony.
