How is this happening?

Your electric guitar, cable & amp with all it's wire & current is essentially an antennae for RF (radio frequencies). The distortion pedal only acts as a signal booster making the radio reception that much more powerful.

This article addresses some of these issues & how to correct them. Best of success!
