In Australian radio, you don’t get Jackie O without Kyle Sandilands, so what happens when the claws come out? Jackie O walked out on Kiis FM this morning after a fight with Kyle Sandliands during the first ad break of their morning show, The Kyle and Jackie O Show.
Jackie left Kyle to host the show solo after 6am, when she told Sandilands of her frustrations over him “chucking a sickie” last week.
“You left everyone high and dry on Friday,” Jackie said on air.
“If you vomited in the car I don’t think you’d come to work either,” Sandilands replied.
After a further exchanging of words, Sandilands said, “I’m happy to go home again,” Sandilands said, “I don’t have to put up with this”.
“You’re always sick on a Friday,” Jackie O said, “I’m putting it out there”. Sandilands responded with, “Too bad for you”.
After several pre-recorded segments Sandilands came back on live air to announce that Jackie O had walked out.
“In the spirit of transparency I’d like to let everyone know that Jackie and I, during the news, have had an argument and Jackie’s left,” he said. “I’m not going to go into why, how, when, who said what, what happened, anything that got flicked around, she’s just not here.”
The show comes in second after WSFM’s Jonesy and Amanda, even after moving to Kiss FM after more than 10 years at 2Day FM.
