Brooke McClymont and Adam Eckersley let their hair down at the 37th Annual ARIA Awards on Wednesday night when they hit the stage drunk on champagne.
The musical duo, who have been married since 2013, were already deep in their cups when they were called to present the award for best blues and roots album.
As they stumbled onto the stage together, the two could hardly stop giggling and smiling as they attempted to announce the category nominations and eventual winner.
“It’s so nice to be here tonight.” “I drank a little too much champagne,” Brooke, 42, began as she leaned against her husband.
Adam, 41, quickly chimed in, saying: “I can’t believe we’re presenting something that has the word ‘roots’ in it.” “We’re trying to be adults, but I’m not.”

At this point things got particularly rude when Brooke said to him, “I’m looking forward to meeting you and me later,” implying that they would be “cheering along” after the show.
Nevertheless, the two managed to pull themselves together and, despite mispronouncing some words, presented the prize to the Teskey Brothers.
Later that night, the drunk couple were nominated for best country album for their second studio album together, Up, Down and Sideways.

She was presented with the award by Dolly Parton, who sent a congratulatory video message for the 36-year-old.
Other nominees in this category were Brad Cox with Acres and The Wolfe Brothers with Livin’ The Dream.

Adam said: “I can’t believe we’re presenting something that has the word ‘roots’ in it.” We’re trying to be adults, but I’m not.
