Dave Portnoy admits he 'panicked' after being spotted on a date during the live broadcast of Monday's Celtics-Heat playoff game.

Footage of Portnoy, 47, sat behind TNT Sports announcers Brian Anderson and Stan Van Gundy with a mystery blonde went viral earlier this week, with the Barstool founder seen hilariously telling his date at Kaseya Center that they were on TV.

Camryn D'Aloia, a 25-year-old recent college graduate, was later identified as the girl sat beside him as they watched their home team defeat the Miami Heat.

Two days on from the viral moment, Portnoy opened up on his date with D'Aloia during the latest episode of his "BFF Podcast with Josh Richards and Brianna Chickenfry - claiming that he turned down courtside seats out of fear of being seen.

'Very unfortunate set of circumstances, I’ll say that,' he said. 'Because… well, I’m sensitive still to the fact I’m six months, five-and-a-half months out of a relationship, so being seen on a date or with a girl, it was not what I was trying to do.'
