AM host Melissa Chan-Green has revealed she would threaten her three sisters if they spelt a word incorrectly.
Speaking to Guy Montgomery, who was on the morning show to talk about his comedy spelling series Guy Montgomery's Guy Mont-Spelling-Bee (Thursdays at 7.30pm on Three), she made the shocking confession when asked if she was a good speller.
"When I was younger, I've got three younger sisters and I used to line them up against the wall and we'd have a spelling competition," Chan-Green said.
"If they got a word wrong, I threw a water balloon at them.
"They still had a chance to dodge it.
"That could be an element you could introduce [into the show]."
"Wow. Physically threatening the contestants on TV - I think that's a really good incentive," said Montgomery.
