Jackie O quits radio show after on-air blow-up
- On February 20, Jacqueline Henderson, known as Jackie O, quit The Kyle and Jackie O Show after an on-air argument, and ARN said she 'cannot continue to work with Mr Kyle Sandilands' and the programme was taken off-air.
- During the February 20 broadcast, Kyle Sandilands criticised Henderson's work ethic after she read Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's astrology chart, leaving her in tears.
- ARN Media issued written notices to Kyle Sandilands and Quasar Media, calling Sandilands' February 20 behaviour an 'act of serious misconduct' and gave him 14 days to remedy the breach.
- ARN said that the KIIS FM breakfast show will be taken off-air immediately, with Smallzy filling in while Henderson's two-week absence cost her at least $470,000 and a $200 million ARN investment is at risk.
- Industry insiders say the pair may never reunite and their 2023 10-year contract worth $100m each now hangs in the balance after ARN's ultimatum.
