Trisha Goddard recalled the haunting moment a vile racist once 'spat in her face' in the early stages of her career on Monday night's Celebrity Big Brother.
The TV icon, 67, best known for her self-titled talk show Trisha, shared a time she endured racist abuse in front of her baby daughter.
Trisha explained she quickly became noticed as the 'first black television presenter' when she began her career in Australia.
Sharing the shocking story, Trisha said: 'I didn't even realise I was their first Black presenter until all the headlines came out.
'I had KKK sprayed on my door, they offered me security. It was just non-stop for a few months.
'I had someone - when I was carrying Billie once - just come up and spit in my face when I'm holding Billie and call me the N-word. And it broke my heart.'

Trisha is mum to daughters Madison, 35, and Billie, 32, from her first marriage to Aussie TV producer Mark Greive.
Danny Beard asked: 'How do you explain that to a child?'
Ella-Rae Wise added: 'How do you explain that to a child? Children should never know any difference. We all come in the world the same way and we all leave the same way.'
Last week, Trisha opened up about the intimate side effects of her gruelling chemotherapy treatment amid her incurable cancer battle.
Trisha confirmed the return of her secondary breast cancer, which she first battled in 2008, early last year.
The presenter confessed constipation, muscle aches, and even a 'dry vagina' are among her side effects.
As fellow housemate Donna Preston asked her about her 'vicious' cancer treatment, Trisha explained: 'Terrible constipation. Muscle aches, taste affected, eyesight affected. But if I hadn't have had it, I wouldn't be here.'
Later joined by Ella in the garden, Trisha also admitted she now has to moisturise everywhere, including her intimate areas.
She continued: 'With breast cancer, it's your boobs. And then the drugs that dry your lower botty [vagina] out.

'I had someone - when I was carrying Billie once - just come up and spit in my face when I'm holding Billie and call me the N-word. And it broke my heart', she added
'That's another thing, Darling, you have got to moisturise everywhere when you are going through cancer treatment.'
Initially confused by what Trisha meant, Donna asked: 'So you put that up your bum?'
To which she clarified,' No, your...' and used her hands to signal between her legs.
Ella helped out and clarified, 'Your ladies?' which Trisha confirmed before Donna started laughing, stating that she called it something else.
'I love how you two call it your ladies where I am like "your fanny". Goes on your fanny.'
Ella initially gasped, which caused Trisha to clarify, 'Yeah, but not at your age.'
Ella cheekily responded: 'Babe, I moisturise everywhere, so don't worry about that.'
Since her entrance into the Big Brother house, Trisha has taken the opportunity to share her mantra of 'living not dying' while on the show.

In a sweet moment with housemate Donna Preston, Trisha opened up as explained her difficult symptoms, but admitted: 'But if I hadn't have had it, I wouldn't be here'
She received the terminal diagnosis 20 months ago and is receiving palliative care while in the house.
Trisha has secondary breast cancer - meaning the disease started in the breast and spread to another part of the body - for which there is treatment but no cure.
In February last year, she revealed her cancer had returned after previously being given the all-clear.
As well as having her own private room during her stay in the house, the broadcaster has with her 'a bag full of meds' amid her ongoing cancer treatment.
Speaking ahead of her big moment, Trisha told The Mirror that she's 'jumping on a plane as soon as the show is over' to have an infusion.
She explained: 'So my oncologist is my biggest cheerleader and is working with the Big Brother team. I've got a special therapist who's happy to work with the medic on the show.
'My palliative care team - and when I say that word everybody screams and runs away, but it's symptom treatment - is working with the team here too.
'And then when it comes to my treatment, I had one infusion on Monday, so I've got to jump on a plane and go straight back to have the next one as soon as the show is over.

Trisha received the heartbreaking terminal diagnosis 20 months ago, which tragically came just a month before she tied the knot with Allen [pictured on their wedding day]
'I’ve got a bag full of meds that I normally have which will be with me in the house. So my oncologist has planned my treatment around the production schedule.'
The former chat show host received the heartbreaking terminal diagnosis 20 months ago, which tragically came just a month before she tied the knot with her husband, Allen.
The couple said 'I do' in an intimate wedding ceremony at a local restaurant in Connecticut in August 2022.
Elsewhere, on her reasons for doing the show, Trisha told hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best: 'Well, I've been asked to do it every single year, and I've always thought, 'Are you kidding me?'.
'Being on Big Brother would show people how you can live successfully with cancer and not be so scared of dying that you become scared of living. So that's why I'm doing it.'
Brave Trisha also admitted she doesn't want her housemates too 'pity' her about her diagnosis.
The mother of two daughters Billie and Madison, who relocated to the US in 2010, previously revealed that the cancer 'is not going away' and keeping the secret was 'becoming a burden'.
