Henshaw recalls she arrived at Smith's home shortly after and they were sitting in her bedroom wondering what to do.

She explained she had meant only to send the photo to now husband Josh Miller.

Smith says the incident happened years ago when she was living alone in Melbourne.

The confession came as part of a podcast episode during which listeners shared embarrassing work moments moments.

Henshaw spoke of the time she organised an employee's farewell before his departure had been announced.

Smith and Henshaw, both fitness influencers, launched the business Keep It Cleaner, a health and wellness app which includes food advice and exercise plans. They also sell products in Coles and Woolworths snacks such as lentil chips.

Smith has spoken of her struggles since becoming a mum to son Harvey, telling her Instagram followers he often runs up to her yelling 'No, no,' when she prepares to leave for work duties.

She has also admitted to struggling though her son's restlessness at night.

"12 hours on set yesterday followed by 2 hours of sleep because Harvey was up all night (the joy of molars coming through)," she shared in a recent Instagram post.

"Shout out to all the working parents out there – it's hard, running a company is hard. While so rewarding, there are so many challenges that come with juggling mum and work life."
