&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;LONDON -- Our friends over at &amp;lt;a href=”https://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/olympics-fourth-place-medal/olympic-spectator-plants-kiss-unsuspecting-television-reporter-video-151712354--oly.html”&amp;gt;Yahoo (Fourth-Place Medal)&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; unearthed this wildly entertaining clip of the unsuspecting Sky News reporter at the London Olympics who was caught off guard by a big kiss on the cheek from a female spectator.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Cheeky, indeed.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The reporter, who was in the middle of his stand-up remote, handled the crazy moment quite well and had a good laugh after she sprinted up from behind him. The fan, wearing a English soccer jersey, said: “Thank you!” before planting the kiss.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Maybe these are the Friendly Games.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;At least the female spectator appeared to be sober, unlike the time Joe Namath announced on the air that he wanted to &amp;lt;a href=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gc65NC44dSk”&amp;gt;kiss sideline host&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; Suzy Kolber. Then again, he said it ... and didn’t do it.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;ALSO:&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=”https://www.latimes.com/sports/olympics/olympicsnow/la-sp-on-us-womens-basketball-beats-angola-20120730,0,375306.story”&amp;gt;U.S. routs Angola in women’s basketball&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=”https://www.latimes.com/sports/olympics/olympicsnow/la-london-olympics-teenager-missy-franklin-win-100meter-backstroke-20120730,0,5633584.story”&amp;gt;Missy Franklin gets gold in 100-meter backstroke&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=”https://www.latimes.com/sports/olympics/olympicsnow/la-sp-on-ye-shiwen-doping-20120731,0,6458163.story”&amp;gt;U.S. officials try not to inflame Ye Shiwen doping allegations&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;
