The ginger-haired crooner took the diminutive pop star in his arms for a brief waltz while they both smiled and laughed at the unlikely situation. 

The pair couldn't have looked any more different to each other, with 47-year-old Kylie decked out in a stunning jewel-encrusted nude gown.

Meanwhile 24-year-old Ed wasn't anywhere near as fancy, opting for a casual ensemble of sneakers, jeans, and a shirt.

The pair already have a burgeoning friendship, having met at the Jubilee concert - where Kylie and Ed's mum Imogen reportedly got along like a house on fire.

Ed was selected to perform at the Aussie awards show thanks to his overwhelming popularity in the country.

He's currently 2015's highest-selling artist in Australia, with his most recent album, 'X', going seven times platinum.
