Today reporter does 'disgusting' shoey live on air
Harry Styles has kicked off his Aussie tour Down Under doing his first-ever shoey on stage in Perth.
So to honour what the singing sensation called "the most disgusting tradition he has ever heard of", Today reporter Izabella Staskowski decided to see what all the fuss was about.
"With Harry's inspiration maybe I should do my first-ever shoey live on the Today Show," Staskowski told viewers.

"So here goes something really disgusting!"
Staskowski filled her white, slightly scuffed sneaker with water from her Wide World of Sport drink bottle (a little product placement there for you) and downed the footwear beverage as the shocked Today hosts looked on.
"No Iza don't do it - that is so gross," Sarah screamed covering her eyes.
Karl pumped his fist and cheered the reporter on, but Alex Cullen hid his eyes behind his news sheet while Brooke Boney screamed at what was happening.
"No! Do you have to put that back on Iza? Yuck!" she asked.
Karl applauded Staskowski for "taking one for the team" but Sarah said she wondered if the stunt might put her out of action for work tomorrow.
The hosts were not expecting what they just saw on the screen. Today
