EXCLUSIVE: In 2017, Kevin and Janetta burst onto our screens as the Victorian retirees taking on a unique show called Travel Guides.

After nearly 10 incredible years, the duo reacted to Season 1 for the first time in Episode 1 of a brand new 9Entertainment video series – you can watch it in the clip above.

While there were certainly some "embarrassing" moments, Kevin and Janetta looked back on a very personal moment they never explained until now:
