Jackie 'O' Henderson reveals shock toilet confession: 'I can't sit there doing nothing'
The radio queen, 50, admitted on Friday's The Kyle and Jackie O Show that she always takes her mobile phone with her when she goes to the toilet.
'There's no better place to hang out than the bathroom, because no one can come join you or talk to you,' Jackie told her co-host Kyle Sandilands.
'You get that true alone time. Peace and quiet for once! I just sit there on my phone for ten minutes, locked in a bathroom.'
Jackie added she never makes a bathroom trip without her mobile phone in her hand.

'I can't go to the toilet without my phone. It's like I go, "Oh I can't sit here doing nothing",' she quipped.
Taking your phone to the toilet may keep you entertained while you do your business, but last month Mail+ revealed it is not always safe to do so.
It was reported that this common habit can turn your device into a haven for dangerous microorganisms, a scientist warned.
Dr Primrose Freestone, professor of clinical microbiology at the University of Leicester, said faecal bacteria can easily reach your phone in the bathroom.
This includes E. coli, which can result in nasty diarrhea and stomach cramps, and Pseudomonas, which causes infections in the blood and lungs.
Even after you've washed your hands with soap, these bugs can travel back to your hands once you touch your phone again.
As a result, phones should be kept out of the toilet altogether, and regularly sanitised with alcohol wipes.
'The phone will at some point get contaminated, so periodically disinfecting your phone is a good idea,' she told MailOnline.

It comes after Jackie revealed what started her painkiller addiction.
On Thursday, the presenter was chatting to KIIS FM's Dr Sam Hay about the nature of addiction and told Kyle & Jackie O listeners she began taking painkillers to help cope with a problem that many women experience.
'I got addicted because I got prescribed Endone. I was prescribed for a true pain that I was experiencing because I was going to the hospital every month with my endometriosis,' Jackie began.
Endometriosis is a painful condition affecting many women, where tissue similar to the womb lining grows in other parts of the body, often causing cramps, fatigue and fertility issues.
Jackie added she was prescribed the powerful painkiller Endone - another name for Oxycodone - to help manage the issue but soon became dependent on it.
'It just got so out of control, I had to go to the hospital to get morphine. And then so they prescribed the Endone as a way to manage it,' she said.
'It is dangerous. When they handed me the drug they said, "it's so addictive. Be really careful." And it really, really is.
'I took those pills and thought, "I'll be fine." And I realised you're not fine because they are so addictive.'

I nearly died in a freezer... and now I receive strange messages from dead people
A grief counselor from California has revealed how she has been able to see dead people since a childhood accident nearly killed her. Susan Grau, who refers to herself as an intuitive medium, told that she nearly died of hypothermia and lack of oxygen after getting trapped in a home freezer when she was only four years old. While screaming for her life, Grau said she experienced a life-changing vision, where beings of light took her to another dimension, where she heard the prayers of other children. Once she was rescued from the freezer, Grau was left with a startling power, the ability to see and hear beings who had just entered the spirit world. 'I just connected. I would lie in bed and I'd hear, you know, 'Wake up. I just died,'' Grau explained. For years, she kept quiet about her experiences, before finally learning that her ability to communicate with the dead meant she was a medium - someone capable of serving as an intermediary between the physical world and the spirit world. She worked in addiction therapy and grief therapy without revealing her abilities before eventually admitting what she had been seeing in a Facebook message to her family. 'I was highly sensitive and highly attached to people and the spirit world. I feel like I'm half in and half out,' Grau said. Near-death experiences (NDEs) are complex and not fully understood, but scientific research suggests they are likely neurological phenomena arising from specific brain activity during moments of critical illness or near-death. While various theories exist, a key aspect involves the brain's continued activity, even after the heart stops, potentially leading to altered states of consciousness and vivid perceptions. Grau's journey started when some fellow children told her to climb up into her garage freezer for some popsicles, but the freezer had unknowingly been unplugged. 'Because I was so young, I didn't recognize that it wasn't plugged in anymore. My mom had unplugged it. She was supposed to turn it towards the wall, and she didn't,' Grau explained. When she heard the door close behind her, everything changed, and Grau was now in mortal danger of suffocating or freezing to death. 'I heard the garage door thud, and it was silence. And I remember just screaming in terror,' she recounted. What happened next changed Grau's life forever. The medium was screaming for help and trying to free herself from the locked freezer when three bright lights appeared, and she felt herself being pulled out of her physical body. Grau said that she saw a 'light version of herself' in a group of three beings as her spirit left the freezer. The beings told her to stop screaming, and promised to get her mother, which calmed the four-year-old down. Grau recalled seeing a beautiful building with beautiful pillars, a cracked stairway, and a mysterious well in the middle of the room. She also remembered seeing words and hearing prayers that seemed to come from other children, saying: 'I'm going to turn 16. 'Please make my mom and dad get me a car,' and 'God, and my mom is sick. Please don't let her die.' Grau added that she travelled down a beautiful yellow road, which she called the 'yellow brick road' because it was the only way to describe it. She saw people dropping to their knees and saying, 'Dear God, you know, nothing's working the way I want it to. Everything's going wrong. Why don't things go my way?' Then the people vanished. Grau believed it was a message for her to understand later, that 'what you try to control controls you. What you run after chases you.' The medium said she moved through different dimensions, and the angels who rescued her from the freezer told her she had a huge amount to take in during this journey. Grau said she attempted to ascend to the top of a mountain where a beautiful being of light was waiting but she wasn't able to. That's when the being came to her instead. 'The minute I thought, I need to get there, I saw this gorgeous, powerful beam of light come to me. It came to me, and it was love, pure, pure love,' Grau explained. At that point the angel told Grau it was time to go back and that her mother was waiting for her. The light being added that she was going to go through a lot in life, and that Grau was going to help people and she needed to remember the things she learned during her journey to accomplish that task. At the same time, Grau said her mother began hearing a voice quietly saying, 'Your baby's in the freezer.' 'She said, all of a sudden she heard it loud, like a scream, 'Your baby's in the freezer!' And she ran outside, and she said she saw the door closed [in] the garage,' the medium revealed. When Grau was found, her skinned had already turned gray, her fingers were blue, and she fell forward onto the cement as she started to breathe again. That's when her new ability to see spirits manifested. 'I could see things around me. I covered my head and said, 'Go away. Go away. Go away.' And they didn't,' she explained. Grau said she kept seeing the beings all around her, but they were beautiful and they never harmed her, so she quickly stopped being afraid of them. Now a mother, grandmother, author, and inspirational speaker, Grau has continued to work with children who have had near-death experiences, using her skills as a medium to help with her counseling.
