A woman has shocked radio listeners after calling into a Melbourne breakfast show to confess that she ate her grandmother’s ashes.
Fox’s Fifi, Fev & Nick were left stunned when they took the call from the woman during Tuesday’s ‘Cashfessional’ segment.
After host Brendan ‘Fev’ Fevola, 43, asked Cheyenne from Narre Warren what she would like to confess, she bluntly stated she had consumed her granny’s ashes.
‘I ate my Nan,’ she said. ‘My Nan passed away in August last year and got cremated.
‘My family and myself were grieving, so we went over to Mum’s one night and we thought to cheer her up again… let’s eat Nan.’
Cheyenne said she put some of her Nan’s ashes in a bowl and consumed them.
While she casually explained her odd behaviour, all three hosts all gasped in shock.
But Cheyenne continued her story completely undeterred, and went on to reveal she also fed some of the ashes to her unsuspecting brother after putting them in a pasta dish.
‘After I did it once, I got Mum to do it because I didn’t want to be alone in it. But that’s not the only part of the story… this is the part I’ve told nobody. My brother got out of jail not too long ago…’ she explained.
‘Oh God,’ said Fev, dreading where the story might go next.
The caller said her ex-convict brother was coming to stay with her and she thought it would be funny to prank him.
‘I put some of Nan’s ashes in the pasta sauce,’ Cheyenne said as she giggled over the phone.
Co-host Fifi Box, 47, expressed her profound shock at the confession.
‘This is so much for me. I’m taking this on board…’ she said, before composing herself to ask a follow up question.
‘Have you stopped eating her?’ Fifi asked.
‘I’ll say yes for your sake, Fifi,’ Cheyenne answered. ‘[I eat her] just for fun.’
She went on to insist she feels closer than ever to her Nan.
‘Nan will live on through me forever,’ she concluded.
Fev summed up everyone’s feelings in the studio when he said, ‘I’m a little bit shocked. I don’t get shocked too often.’
