That’s right, Blush — best known for its appearance in the infamous “Don’t blush, baby” line delivered to Channel 10 reporter Mel McLaughlin at a Big Bash game last summer.
Gayle was fined $10,000 by his Big Bash League team the Melbourne Renegades following his ‘flirt’ during a live interview with a female reporter.

Ten Network reporter Mel McLaughlin found herself being asked out for a drink during an interview with the burly West Indian after he blasted 41 runs off 15 balls in Australia’s Big Bash League (BBL) late Monday.

Live on air, Gayle — who later insisted he was just joking — said he was happy to be interviewed by McLaughlin “just to see your eyes for the first time”.
