Chris Martin caught one camera-shy couple by surprise as he addressed the audience at a Coldplay concert - and joked that they were 'either having an affair' or were just very bashful.
As the frontman panned his 'kiss cam' around the crowd at Gillette Stadium in Boston on Wednesday, the pair looked horrified to be seen by thousands on the big screen.
'Oh look at these two! Oh what?' he exclaimed in a video shared to TikTok - which has now racked up 5.8 million views - as they covered their faces and dived behind the barrier.
The duo, who were embracing one another as they swayed to the music and smiled, suddenly appeared in the footage projected across to the whole audience.
Embarrassed, the woman covered her face as she walked away from the viewpoint, while the man ducked down quickly - as the musician, 48, made his quip.
The band are currently in the US as part of their record-breaking Music Of The Spheres World Tour.
They will next play Maddison, Nashville and Miami before heading back to the UK for a string of dates in August.
Coldplay have topped the list of artist earnings from live concerts this year.

Meanwhile, Coldplay frontman Chris quietly split from Dakota Johnson last month after eight years together.
The duo, who first got together in 2017, and later became engaged pulled the plug in June - but according to an exclusive DailyMail source, a secret A-list insider is already working behind the scenes on a reunion.
Chris sparked speculation with a cryptic shout-out to Dakota at Coldplay’s Las Vegas show in June.
'Thank you so much everybody,' the Paradise singer said to the sold-out crowd at Allegiant Stadium, before unexpectedly referencing Johnson's latest film.
'Be kind to yourself, be kind to each other,' he said before adding, 'Don't forget to see Materialists! We love you!' in video shared by Deuxmoi.
In a video shared to TikTok, Chris joked: 'Either they're having an affair or they are just very shy!'

Reps for the pair have not officially confirmed their split.
DailyMail.com's source said the actress 'held a flame for them to be together because she loved him so much and loved his kids so much.'
The insider continued: 'Dakota is devastated that she isn't going to be around his kids as much anymore, but wants them to know that she is always there for them.'
They added that there is a chance the pair may reconcile but 'right now, being separated will do wonders if they were to have any type of future together.'
DailyMail first reported trouble between the pair in August 2024 but a rep later confirmed they were still together.
The pair had a brief rumoured split in 2019 which was alleged to be over Chris pushing for them to have children, but they quickly got back together.
He famously split from Paltrow the mother of his two children Apple, 21, and Moses, 19, in March 2014 after ten years of marriage.
In September of last year, Chris also revealed that Coldplay would also be planning to release two more albums before they're 'over'.
Speaking to Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, Chris dropped the bombshell saying: 'We are only going to do 12 proper albums and that's real. Yeah I promise.
'Because less is more and for some of our critics, even less would be even more! It's really important that we have that limit.'
=Explaining his reasoning behind the decision, he added: 'There's only seven Harry Potters. There's only 12 and a half Beatle albums, there's about the same for Bob Marley, so all our heroes.
'Also having that limit means the quality control is so high right now and for a song to make it, it's almost impossible, which is great. And so where we could be coasting, we're trying to improve.'
However, for fans of the British band, all is not lost, as the lead singer also disclosed there may be other projects in the pipeline and whatever 'side thing' they do would have to be 'something completely different'.
Chris and the band are set to release their tenth studio album, titled Moon Music and features collaborations with Burna Boy, Ayra Starr and Jon Hopkins.
However - it is not the first time Chris has said the band will stop making music.
Speaking to NME in 2021, the frontman, revealed that he was certain he and his bandmates - Jonny Buckland, 47, Guy Berryman, 46, and Will Champion, 46, - would stop after their twelfth record.
Ahead of the launch of the ninth LP, Music of the Spheres, the hitmaker said: 'I don’t think we’ll only make 12 albums. I know that’s what we’ll do.'
