Beloved Australian actress Pia Miranda shocked a TV audience this week as the former child star made an X-rated confession during a live TV interview.
The Looking for Alibrandi actress, 51, revealed where she keeps her ‘grown-up toys’ and credited the items as the secret to her long-lasting marriage during an interview with Shaun Micallef for his ABC show Eve of Destruction.
Pia jokingly used Australian children’s character Humphrey B. Bear as a euphemism for sex toys in the very candid interview that aired Wednesday.
‘You still had a close connection with Humphrey even after you were married?’ Micallef asked the actress.
‘Oh no, I still do,’ Pia joked.
‘Where does he live?’ Micallef asked.
‘He can’t sleep in the bed because my husband would get no action,’ she admitted.
‘I sometimes get him out when my husband’s away,’ she continued. ‘He’s just in the top cupboard, with the good handbags, and some of the adult stuff.’
