Comedian Dave 'Hughesy' Hughes has revealed the most embarrassing phone call he's ever shared with his mother.

The 2Day FM host admitted on Wednesday that his mum Carmel called to confront him over a recurring charge on his bank statement when he was in his twenties.

'I said, "Mum, it's [for] a brothel,"' the 51-year-old said, much to the amusement of his co-anchors Ed Kavalee and Erin Molan.
