The Kyle and Jackie O Show is known for pushing the boundaries of good taste.
But even co-host Jackie ‘O’ Henderson appeared to have second thoughts about a segment that aired on Thursday’s episode.
The 43-year-old sounded concerned during an interview with a young woman who claimed that God told her to drink dog urine because of its ‘healing’ qualities.

A 21-year-old American woman called ‘Lynn’ spoke to the KIIS FM radio hosts after DailyMail.com reported earlier this week on her bizarre health claims.
She made several troubling statements during the interview.
Lynn claimed that God told her to drink her dog’s urine and that pharmaceutical companies were conspiring to hide its incredible health benefits from the public.

She also insisted that drinking her dog’s urine daily had cured her depression, cleared up her acne and was helping keep her cancer-free.
‘You guys can make fun of me all you want… it works. I don’t have cancer,’ Lynn said on air.
‘I don’t have it either, but I don’t drink dog wee,’ replied a worried Jackie, to which Lynn responded: ‘You might get it’.
‘How did you even think of it?’ Lynn made several troubling statements during the interview, which host Kyle Sandilands (pictured) appeared to find amusing and fascinating
Later on, the radio show’s resident medical expert Dr KIIS joined the conversation.
‘When we look at the evidence there’s surprisingly nothing that says that dog pee can cure anything,’ he said.
‘And, thankfully, the rates of cancer in young people are incredibly low.’
Dr KIIS added: ‘And the good thing about acne is that each year as we get older, acne gets better. So possibly it was just something that just disappeared [for Lynn].
‘Dog pee does not cure acne. It just does not.’
‘This is infuriating!’ After Lynn, 21, claimed drinking dog urine had prevented her getting cancer, KIIS newsreader Brooklyn Ross (left) interrupted with, ‘I can’t listen to this anymore’
Lynn then responded, ‘Why don’t I have cancer then?’, prompting KIIS newsreader Brooklyn Ross to interrupt.
‘Kyle, this is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard on this show. I can’t listen to this anymore!’ he said.
Speaking to Lynn, he added: ‘You don’t have cancer and never have. The pee is not doing anything. This is infuriating!’
Dr KIIS added: ‘We need to remember that this is not a natural thing to do.
‘I think the decision to go and [drink urine] is incredibly not natural. There are a number of bacteria in there that are going to make it dangerous.’
After the interview, Jackie said: ‘Look, I think Lynn might need some help. That’s all.’

It comes after Lynn made headlines after posting a horrifying video of herself drinking her own dog’s urine and claiming it helped clear up her bad acne.
‘Many of you have asked me how I always look so good, how my makeup always looks so perfect, or how I always have this natural glow,’ she says in the clip.
Using a plastic cup, Lynn then collects urine from her dog before drinking it.

‘Until I first drank my dog’s pee, I was depressed, I was sad, and I had bad acne,’ the woman says after finishing the cup.
‘Dog pee also has vitamin A in it, vitamin E in it, and it has 10 grams of calcium, and it’s also proven to help cure cancer.’
Drinking dog or human urine is known as urine therapy, and it was a practiced form of therapy in ancient China, Rome, Greece and Egypt.
But experts warn about the impact the substance can have on the health because of the toxins and acids that can reside in the urine.
