"I have been seeing people on TikTok do like, nuclear bomb simulators and be like, this is what would happen if a nuke were to hit Sydney," the Hot Nights with Abbie Chatfield radio host said.

"Or this this is what would happen if a nuke were to hit Kyiv. I don't know if my anxiety is high about what is happening in Ukraine, but like, is that helping anyone?
