A Sydney woman has endured a bizarre stunt that involved lying inside a coffin filled with Tasmanian fish guts for 60 seconds.
The mess, orchestrated by controversial KIIS FM radio hosts Kyle Sandilands and Jackie ‘O’ Henderson, saw Tegan be nominated by her workmate Hayley to sit in a tiny coffin while covered in Huon Salmon fish innards.
Hayley told the mainland radio duo that Tegan hates fish and ‘anything gooey’.
“The idea is we’re going to put Tegan into the coffin and then we’re going to dump every part of her worst fears into the coffin with her,” Sandilands said.
Tegan had to remain inside the coffin for 60 seconds in exchange for $5,000, as part of the radio station’s promotion for reality TV show I’m a Celebrity.
Show personality Intern Pete and other staff then opened Huon branded crates full of the Tasmanian fish.
“There’s every innard … All the heads, the guts, the spines, the stomachs, the spines. The stomachs of the fish have all been cut open, so it all oozes out,” Sandilands said.
As Tegan settled into the coffin, the crates of fish guts were then tipped over her before a lid was placed over the coffin.
Tegan could be heard gagging at the smell of the fish, as co-host Jackie ‘O’ Henderson expressed her disbelief.
“Oh, no. I can’t bear this. This poor girl,” Henderson said.
Tegan successfully completed the challenge, taking the $5,000 prize while Jackie ‘O’ described her as “such a trooper”.
Huon Salmon is farmed in Tasmania’s Storm Bay, Huon Estuary, D’Entrecasteaux Channel and Macquarie Harbour.
