While reporting from the event, Costi caught up with the former Australian Idol star and reminded him of their first meeting in 2017.
“I want to take you back to the year 2017. Parky Tav, arguably the most bogan pub on the Gold Coast,” she said.
“We did a shoey together.”

Costi and Noll first met at the Gold Coast pub, where the pair shared a shoey (the very Aussie act of pouring a beverage into a shoe and drinking it).
The Sunrise segment then cut to the old footage, showing a blonde-haired Costi alongside Noll inside the pub.
In the clip, Noll pours a drink into a shoe before Costi downs it — a classic shoey.
“I definitely remember I was doing a shoey for Shanno,” Costi recalled. “And you were lovely enough to participate.”
Noll laughed as the pair reminisced about their chance meeting and unexpected reunion nine years later.
“And there was a global surge,” Costi joked about the ongoing shoey trend.
“Who is (I was blonde at the time), who is the blonde girl that did the shoey with Shanno?”
Costi revealed she had kept her identity secret at the time, only claiming the viral moment on Sunrise a few months ago.


The reunion at the golf course quickly turned into a trip down memory lane, before Costi and Noll decided there was only one way to celebrate the occasion: by recreating the iconic moment.
“I mean, as long as it’s a real shoe. Don’t do a Hugh Jackman on us, Nollsie,” Sunrise’s Edwina Bartholomew said from the studio. “Come on, get out the shoes. Let’s do it.”
Noll happily obliged, pouring a beer into Costi’s shoe live on-air before she once again knocked it back.
“Always iconic. Thanks so much, mate. That was awesome,” Costi said.
“The reunion you didn’t know you needed. The collab we always wanted: Georgia, Nollsie. What a Friday, guys.”
The Mick Fanning Charity Golf Day, now in its fifth year, has already raised more than $3 million for a range of charities, with an A-list line-up of stars and sportspeople teeing off for the cause on Friday.
When asked about his involvement in the charity event, Noll said it was “an absolute ripper of a day”.
