Robert kills it with his opening number

Robert is opening his monologue with an acknowledgement of country.

He says it’s “genuinely so cool” to be here. He is the youngest person ever to host the awards and says it’s a “massive honour”.

Now he’s saying he’s going to keep things positive. But wait, was that a dig about I’m A Celeb’s cancellation?

Ooh, Robert! You rascal!

The Logies is celebrating 70 years of Aussie TV, and Robert is telling us all that THREE inductees into the Logies Hall Of Fame will be announced tonight.

Now he’s back to being cheeky, giving Karl Stefanovic and Hughsey a shout-out, and yeah.... THAT happened!

Robert dances his way into the ceremony

He’s got his dancing shoes on...we love to see it.

Bring the razzle dazzle, Robert!

Robert famously won the US version of Dancing With The Stars last year.

Poh loses it over co-stars’ boozy confession

Poh Ling Yeow is celebrating her second Gold Logie nomination after another year at the helm of MasterChef Australia, but it was a cheeky confession from her fellow judges that had her in stitches on the red carpet.

Poh burst out laughing when The Nightly revealed Andy Allen and Sofia Levin had both voted her the most dangerous MasterChef co-host to sit beside after a few drinks.

“That is hysterical! They are always trying to get me drunk,” she joked.
