"Aw, yeah!" Cameron agreed about her 39-year-old Charlie's Angel co-star and Giselle Eisenberg. "She does, now that you mention it. And she's as bright and lively as Drew is, as well.

"Let's hope she misses out on the Drew Barrymore drug years, because those were a great thing to watch, but not so good to be in, I'd imagine," he joked. "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. "The blonde beauty maintained her composure as she defended her friend who couldn’t do so herself at the time. "I'm sure, Kyle, you've never been through a drug phase, have you? Or alcoholism or anything like that? Pretty clean… always did it right? Congratulations," she sarcastically said to stick up for mother-of-two, Drew.

It was then that the presenter made another jab by suggesting she shouldn’t challenge him because he had a friendship with her Good Charlotte rocker partner."Hang on a second, but I'm friends with Benji," he pointed out. Cameron, who has been spotted being affectionate with The Voice Australia judge but has not yet verbally confirmed they are officially a couple, responded: "We have to go now…. sorry, they're wrapping us up."
