Ben Fordham has taken a unique stance on the so-called Coldplay ‘kiss cam’ scandal that saw a US businessman caught cuddling a work colleague at a concert.

Despite the now-notorious incident putting the idea of the ‘office romance’ under a cloud, Fordham appeared to want to stick up for folks who find love in the workplace.

‘What about all the people that have fallen in love and are still together, and if it wasn’t for their workplace romance, they wouldn’t have met The One?’ he said during his 2GB morning show on Monday.

Fordham’s view is a fresh take on the scandal which saw Astronomer CEO Andy Byron caught embracing the company’s HR chief Kristin Cabot at a Coldplay gig last week.

The incident has become a cultural event that has set the online world alight with outrage – and humorous memes.

But Fordham revealed that he had skin in the game as he met his wife Jodie Speers after the pair shared an office romance.

‘It was fishing off the company wharf,’ he joked, in an interview with 9Honey, ‘and there’s nothing wrong with that.’ 

‘There are some businesses where if you do it, you’ll get the sack, so just be careful, but there’s no formal rule in our workplace.’

He continued: ‘I know a lot of people find it hard to comprehend if they’re a little younger, but I think people who are a little older know these things happen.

‘To some people I’ve worked with over the years … if it wasn’t for workplace relationships, [they] would never have been able to kiss a girl.’

Fordham tied the knot with wife Jodie in 2011 and the pair now share three children  son Freddie, and daughters Pearl and Marigold.

It comes after news that Andy Byron has resigned in disgrace amid an investigation into the scandal. 

Byron, 50, who was spotted on camera at the concert with his arms wrapped around Cabot, stepped down after being placed on leave on Friday.

The billion-dollar company announced the CEO’s resignation in a statement on Saturday. 

‘As stated previously, Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding,’ the statement read. 

‘Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met. 

‘Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted.’ 

Byron and Cabot were caught red-faced as the kiss cam at a Coldplay concert in Boston panned to the CEO with his arms wrapped around his subordinate on Tuesday.

The pair immediately ducked and turned from the cameras after realising their faces were on the big screen.
