‘Worst. Promo. Shoot. Ever,’ the TV presenter joked as she struggled to bust open the thick exterior of the mound.

In the clip, Samantha inquisitively questioned the contents of the golf-themed confection while her dog, Banjo, watched on by her side.

‘Do you reckon that’s chocolate?’ she questioned, before someone else responded: ‘I don’t know. Give it a wallop and see.’

‘I don’t want to hit the golf ball though… and if it goes on the floor I’ll feel bad [the dog] is not allowed to eat it.’ 

Careful! Samantha, 44, shared several posts to her Instagram Stories using a flat wooden spatula to smash open the chocolate pinata-inspired dessert while her dog, Banjo (left), patiently waited for food to drop onto the floor beside her

Samantha then proceeded to hit the decadent number – breaking the mini golf course on top and launching the ball off the table.

‘Oh no, oh no. We’ll need to do that again,’ she exclaimed, while laughing and chasing the flying contents.

In the second video, Samantha can be seen snacking on the ball, before hitting it another three times and stopping because Banjo was ‘scared’.
