A cast member from Hulu's The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives has defended a 'disgusting' incident from the hit Hulu series.
In an episode of the show, Whitney Leavitt decided to reveal the news of her third pregnancy to her family by serving them a cake containing her used pregnancy test.
While the novel approach certainly made for interesting television, many viewers were appalled by the 31-year-old's decision to put the used 'pee stick' in the dessert.
Addressing the backlash with The Cut, Whitney confirmed that her family did indeed eat the cake after the big reveal.
'Oh, of course we did! We all definitely ate the cake,' she said.

'Look, I put the lid back on it. Cloroxed the heck out of it before putting it in the cake. It was clean,' she insisted.
'I get how people were like, "Ew." Maybe people tried to stay away and not eat the pieces surrounding the test, but that cake was good. So yeah, we did eat the cake.'
During the scene, Whitney's younger sister Lexi was horrified when she discovered the used test inside of the cake.
'Oh my God, that is disgusting. Why did you put that in the cake,' she shrieked.
'I guess I didn’t really think it fully, thoroughly, clearly,' Whitney says to producers, before adding, 'But the lid is on!'
It comes after Whitney broke her silence over being painted as the villain on the hit Hulu series.
In a tell-all interview with The Squeeze podcast last week, the 31-year-old called out the show's editing and accused one of her castmates of 'sabotaging' her on camera.

'Look, I put the lid back on it. Cloroxed the heck out of it before putting it in the cake. It was clean,' Whitney later said
She also said that the fallout from the series airing had left her in a 'very dark place' and made it 'hard to watch' back.
Despite calling out some of the editing on the series, Whitney admitted that nobody had made her do anything.
'There were decisions that I made during that show that nobody asked me to do,' she said.
'Like, I willingly did that, but there was no context behind why I had made certain decisions. But again, that's that's the game, I guess.'
