Rebecca Judd has revealed how the Momo challenge, a dangerous Whatsapp 'suicide game' that has terrified parents worldwide, has affected her children.
The mother-of-four, 36, told listeners of her KIIS FM radio show 3PM Pick-Up on Monday that she recently 'spoke through' the frightening online craze with her four-year-old daughter Billie.
She explained that her child was left disturbed by Momo's bulging eyes, adding that the chilling phenomenon was being widely discussed in the playground.

Addressing the Momo challenge, Rebecca told her co-host Katie 'Monty' Dimond: 'One [of my children] came home from school and said, "Oh someone in my class said that Momo was in his house".
'I said, "Well that's a lie". And she said, "No, no. He was behind the door in his house". We spoke through it.'
The former model, who is married to retired Australian Rules footballer Chris Judd, added that even she was spooked by Momo.
'She's very freaky looking,' Rebecca said. 'I get the heebie-jeebies looking at her.'

Then, Rebecca revealed there was 'a particular feature' about Momo that her little girl finds scary, before playing back audio of their conversation.
'Why is she scary?' Rebecca asked her daughter in the recording. Billie nervously replied: 'Because she's apple... because she's eyes...'
'Because of her eyes?' she asked. 'Yeah,' Billie responded.
Meanwhile, Rebecca isn't the only celebrity to express fears over the Momo challenge, with Kim Kardashian warning other parents about the dangers last week.
In an Instagram post, the reality star also encouraged YouTube to 'help' by removing videos which feature Momo's image in seemingly innocent kids' cartoons.
It comes after fears the Momo challenge, which features a terrifying doll and has been linked to several teenage deaths around the world, had spread to the UK.
A concerned British mother said last month that her seven-year-old son confessed some of his schoolmates had told him to look up the Momo challenge.

She said: 'When we watched a video the "Momo" character told him to tell everyone to fear Momo or it will kill him in his sleep. So I have one very frightened little boy and some deep concerns about the kids in his school.'
Momo apparently hit Australian shores several weeks ago, with a concerned mother saying her nine-year-old daughter confided in her that children at a school camp had been sharing the story of the ghoulish woman.
She said her daughter was told by her friends that a girl who refused to follow Momo's instructions was found dead in a cupboard.
