Chris Martin playfully issues warning to crowd days after Astronomer kiss cam dr
Tech CEO Andy Byron has been accused of having an affair with head of HR Kristin Cabot after the pair appeared to be caught off guard with their arms wrapped around each other at the band's Boston show.
At the time, Martin joked with the crowd: 'Oh look at these two. Either they are having an affair or they're just really shy.'
The clip was shared online and quickly went viral with internet sleuths quickly working out who the pair were, claiming they are not a couple, and Byron is actually married to Megan Kerrigan Byron.
Following the incident, Martin made sure to let audiences at the band's Madison show at Camp Randall Stadium know well in advance that they would appear on the big screen.
'We'd like to say hello to some of you in the crowd and put some of you on the big screen,' he said in a video shared online.
'How we're going to do that is we're going to use our cameras and put some of you on the big screen.
'Please, if you haven't done your makeup, do your makeup now.'
The band played it safe by panning over the crowd rather than focusing on any couples.
Fans have been quick to talk about the mock warning online, branding Martin 'so unserious' and joking he is 'traumatised' from the event.

'The whole world is kiki-ing together due to the scandal. I love this band. They unite people 😝,' Jen added.

'Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted. More Trending
'The Board will begin a search for our next Chief Executive as Cofounder and Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy continues to serve as interim CEO.'
On Friday, the company put out an official statement on LinkedIn about the video, saying: 'Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability.
'The Board of Directors has initiated a formal investigation into this matter, and we will have additional details to share very shortly.'
They also confirmed earlier in the week that Byron has not released any statement and reports suggesting otherwise 'are all incorrect'.

Lionel Messi spotted wearing '$2m' watch on Inter Miami sidelines... and there's only 10 of them in the world!
Though he wasn't able to play in Inter Miami's most recent match, Lionel Messi still caught attention as he stepped out in a luxury Rolex watch reportedly worth $2m. The former Barcelona and PSG star was suspended for Miami's clash against FC Cincinatti - along with defender Jordi Alba - after missing the MLS All-Star game. The MLS later announced their one-match ban for the Miami duo, who were then forced to watch from the sidelines as the side was held to a 0-0 draw on Saturday. However, eagled-eyed fans noted that Messi wore an incredibly rare - and expensive - luxury watch as he sat in the dugout at the Chase Stadium. Messi stepped out in the Rolex Daytona 'Barbie' for the game and, though there is no official price tag, valuations have ranged from $800,000 to $2million. Watch aficionados have also noted that there are just 10 of them in the world that exist, which makes the time piece an even more lucrative asset. The Daytona has become one of Rolex's most iconic and legendary chronograph's and the 'Barbie' variant is one that is seldom seen in public. Actor Mark Wahlberg has previously been spotted wearing the model at the start of the year, in one of the first sightings of the rare Rolex variant. Despite owning one of the rarest watches in the world, Messi is evidently not keen to overuse it and was not spotted with the time piece whilst at a recent Coldplay concert. Messi and his wife Antonella were seen in attendance at the gig in Miami on Sunday night, where they were shown on the venue's 'kiss cam'. Messi, 38, was seen attending the show at the Hard Rock Stadium with his wife and children on the final night of Coldplay's Music of the Spheres World Tour in the United States. At one point in the concert, he and Antonella were spotted on the band's 'kiss cam' as they waved while smiling to the crowd. The couple avoided becoming embroiled in a controversial incident, unlike Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot, who were caught with their arms around one another - before trying to avoid the camera on July 15 - in an incident that since went viral. Messi, meanwhile, was left 'extremely upset' by his recent one match ban, according to Inter Miami owner Jorge Mas. Messi, 38, was also seen attending the show at the Hard Rock Stadium with his wife and children on the final night of Coldplay's Music of the Spheres World Tour in the United States 'The reaction was exactly as expected out of two competitive players who don't understand the decision, who don't understand why not attending an exhibition leads directly to a suspension,' he said. 'The rule is what it is, but they don't understand it. I think that the punishment for the role is frankly draconian. 'I'm hopeful that it doesn't have an impact long-term. Will it have an impact initially, in the players' perception of how the league rules work? Absolutely no doubt.'

Katy Perry enjoys cosy dinner date with Justin Trudeau after Orlando Bloom split
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Up Next Previous Page Next Page In a plot twist no one expected, Katy Perry has been filmed enjoying a cosy dinner with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau weeks after she and Orlando Bloom called it a day on their relationship. The Fireworks singer, 40 and Trudeau, 53, looked deep in conversation at Montreal's Le Violon restaurant in a short video. In the clip, filmed by an onlooker, Katy can be seen leaning in to hear Trudeau over a table in the Canadian city, as she smiled with her dark hair down, while the politician wore a brown jacket. Alongside the video of their dinner obtained by Daily Mail, TMZ also report the pair headed out earlier in the evening to have a few drinks on the terrace at Taverne Atlantic. Le Violon chef Danny Smiles told the US outlet there was no PDA when he served them. It's not clear whether the pair are romantically involved, or just enjoying a casual dinner together while Katy is on the Canadian leg of her Lifetimes Tour. Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau were spotted enjoying a bite to eat in Montreal (Picture: Backgrid) They looked engrossed in conversation (Picture: Backgrid) Both have endured a difficult year, with the California Gurls hitmaker releasing a disappointing album, facing backlash for her Blue Origin flight to space, and splitting from British star Orlando after nine years together. While the Lord of the Rings actor, 48, and the popstar never tied the knot, they got engaged in 2019 and share a four-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove. In a joint statement issued to US media outlets in July, representatives for the couple said the pair 'have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting'. 'They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is – and always will be – raising their daughter with love, stability and mutual respect,' it continued. Sources claimed that the former couple 'had to admit' they would be better parents to their daughter if they weren't a couple. We didn't have Katy and the former Canadian PM Trudeau on our radar for 2025, that's for sure (Picture: Rasid Necati Aslim /Anadolu via Getty Images) Katy and Orlando were romantically linked for nine years (Piture: Dia Dipasupil/FilmMagic) Another insider said: 'At a certain point, they had to admit it's better for Daisy to see their parents separately, then she won't grow up feeling the tension and animosity.' 'They are there for Daisy and have been,' added the source. 'They want to keep a friendly relationship so each can be around her separately or together.' While Bloom has posted cryptic messages on social media about 'new beginnings' since, Katy has ditched her engagement ring on public outings. Meanwhile, Trudeau announced his resignation in January after 10 years in power ahead of a major election, as opposition grew following a series of by-election defeats. Got a story?

Lionel Messi spotted wearing ultra-rare pink Rolex Daytona ‘Barbie' worth £700k… and only TEN exist in the whole world
A popular actor is the only other celeb known to own one WATCH THIS Lionel Messi spotted wearing ultra-rare pink Rolex Daytona 'Barbie' worth £700k… and only TEN exist in the whole world LIONEL MESSI has been spotted wearing an ultra-rare Rolex worth an eye-watering £700,000. The Inter Miami star flexed the incredible timepiece as he saw his side draw 0-0 with Cincinnati on Saturday night. 2 Lionel Messi wore a £700,000 watch as he cheered on Inter Miami Credit: Getty 2 Only ten of the sapphire pink Rolex Daytona 'Barbie' have been made Credit: Rolex Messi, 38, was not on the pitch as he was serving a one-match ban for skipping Major League Soccer's All-Star game last week. The eight-time Ballon d'Or winner instead sat in the stands alongside his son Thiago, 12, in a stylish white shirt and beige shorts. But it was the stunning Rolex Daytona "Barbie" that stole the show. The incredible watch is built using a pink sapphire diamond, which matches the Inter Miami home kit, and features 18 carat yellow gold. Reports suggest that only ten of the luxury accessory have been made by Rolex. It is not available to buy anywhere and the prestigious watch brand have never advertised the piece. They instead are believed to have contacted their most valued clients that are "deemed worthy of getting The Call from The Crown". Celebs are said to have paid around £310,000 for the watch. BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK And if any of the ten where to become available on the market, they are likely to sell for £700,000 or higher. The only other Rolex Daytona "Barbie" to be spotted was on the wrist of actor Mark Wahlberg. Lionel Messi looks embarrassed as he and wife Antonela are shown on Coldplay kiss cam at Miami concert After cheering on Inter Miami at the Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Messi and his family went to a Coldplay concert. He was joined by his stunning wife Antonela Roccuzzo and their three sons. Messi hit the headlines at the gig after an awkward moment when they were shown on the kiss cam. The couple did not kiss nor did they recreate the meme like many others had done of married Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR employee Kristin Cabot trying to duck out the way of the camera amid an alleged affair.
