Radio king Kyle Sandilands reveals the savage gift he received from his wife Tegan as he celebrates his 54th birthday
Kyle Sandilands celebrated his 54th birthday on Tuesday and while he was lavished with gifts and praise, he received a somewhat savage birthday present from his wife Tegan.
During The Kyle & Jackie O Show, the shock jock revealed that Tegan had bought him a knitted Balmain sweater that was a few sizes too small in order to motivate him to lose weight.
'I got a beautiful, let's call it, a goal weight jumper,' he told his co-host Jackie 'O' Henderson, 50.
'I'm not in it yet. I could get in it,' he said, adding that he looked like a 'cyclist' when he tried the jumper on.
'How much [weight] do you think you'd have to lose to get into that?' Jackie asked the radio personality.

'Only about 15kg,' he said as the studio erupted into laughter.
'Oh, that's doable,' Jackie sarcastically quipped.
Last year, Kyle sensationally revealed his body weight live on The Kyle and Jackie O show.
The radio king and his co-host were discussing Body Mass Index's (BMI), a measure of body fat based on height and weight.
'I weigh 126kg of meat,' he proudly proclaimed.
A producer on The Kyle and Jackie 'O' Show then disclosed the 'healthy' BMI for a man of his height.
'For a 6ft1 man, you should weigh somewhere between 75 to 91kg,' she said.
Despite the shock revelation, Kyle said at the time that he has no plans to start exercising.
The radio king's weight has fluctuated over the years. He is pictured left at the 2005 Australian Idol finale, and right in 2017 at the ARIA Awards
'Then you've got to go to the gym and ugh, it's too much. No one give a s**t about all that. No one,' he exclaimed.
'Well actually that's not true, most people do,' he added.
Last month Kyle made his big screen acting debut on the Gold Coast set of Australian action comedy film Zombie Plane.
The radio shock jock, 53, brushed shoulders with international star and rapper Ice-T, 67, who was also spotted on the set of the upcoming flick.
Filming for the day took place on a lavish yacht, where a model could be seen stretching as she prepared for filming.

Rachael Finch is slammed online for shocking fashion faux pas: 'None of this is okay'
Rachael Finch has committed a fashion felony according to her longtime pal Ashley Pollard. The former Miss Universe runner-up took to Instagram on Wednesday to defend her choice of shoes, which Ash publicly disapproved of. In a clip posted on her story, Rachael could be seen walking through her office in a pair of animal-print ballet flats adorned with large buckle straps. 'Sorry @ashpollard_ got the leopard vans out today,' she captioned the post. The 36-year-old paired the ensemble with a denim skirt and long grey coat. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. My Kitchen Rules alum Ash, 39, then took to her socials to slam the footwear, as well as Rachael's decision to wear socks with the shoes. 'None of this is okay. Especially the BLACK socks!! Da f**k,' she hilariously wrote over a snap of the shoes, while tagging Rachael. The mum-of-two responded in retaliation: 'Love my comfy shoes and my non-smelly feet LOL.' Rachael and Ash have been longtime friends, with the pair meeting back in 2015 at a PR luncheon at Flemington Racecourse. Since then, they have enjoyed getaways together and featured heavily on each other's Instagram pages. This isn't the first time the Kissed Earth founder has made headlines for her questionable fashion choices. Just a few weeks ago, Rachael was seen embracing a sometimes maligned trend. She was spotted working her angles in a pair of skin tight skinny jeans during an outing in a salon in Sydney's Cronulla. Rachael paired the sleek trousers with a black leather belt and tank top in the same dark tone. She completed the look with a pair of stacked white sneakers and opted for a natural makeup look. Rachael could be seen posing up a storm while her phone was attached to a glass door with a suction holder. Skinny jeans had fallen out of favour in recent years, with Gen Z declaring them uncool and dated. But the tide appears to have changed in 2025, with many young influencers declaring the 2010s staple is back in vogue.

ABC confirms Q+A to be axed amid wider changes and scores of redundancies across the broadcaster
The ABC's Q+A program has been cancelled after 18 years, the broadcaster has confirmed, amid wider changes that will result in scores of redundancies across the public broadcaster. The round of changes will fund new programming at the ABC under reforms yet to be announced by the new managing director Hugh Marks. Marks, who joined the ABC in March, is set to unveil his first round of reforms at the public broadcaster, which Guardian Australia understands to include at least 80 redundancies across the ABC. 'Q+A was a groundbreaking program that had made a significant contribution to Australian society,' the ABC director of news, Justin Stevens, said. 'We're very proud of Q+A's great achievements over the years. The team has done a terrific job, including a strong performance during the federal election campaign,' he said. 'Discontinuing the program at this point is no reflection on anyone on the show. Q+A presenter Patricia Karvelas, who will remain at the ABC, said she enjoyed spending time with the audience members who came to Q+A late on a Monday night. 'They have always been the reason for this show and I'm forever grateful to them for coming on national TV and having the courage to ask questions of powerful people,' she said. Stevens said the cancellation of the program would result in redundancies 'and the loss of talented colleagues', but it is unclear how many. The ABC said savings will be invested in another audience participation project, Your Say, which was a success during the election, and news documentaries in the vein of Killing Season and Nemesis, Stevens said. 'We're excited about being able to produce additional high impact, premium news documentary programs to complement the ABC's strong factual slate,' Stevens said Stevens said as well as hosting Afternoon Briefing and the Politics Now podcast, Karvelas would do more Four Corners episodes as time permits. The weekly flagship discussion program was launched in 2007 by veteran executive producer Peter McEvoy and host Tony Jones and was highly influential in its early years, regularly making headlines and setting the news agenda. ABC staff were warned of looming cuts on Tuesday by the journalists' union, the Media Entertainment and Arts Alliance (MEAA), which told ABC members of colleagues being called into meetings with managers 'regarding a restructure'. One of the divisions to be folded is the Innovation Lab, which was founded in 2018 to test and experiment with new content and technology to prepare the ABC for the future. Headed up by digital content & innovation chief Angela Stengal, the team is believed to be as big as 10 and staff have been offered voluntary redundancy or the chance to go into a redundancy pool to compete for other positions. Radio National staff in Brisbane, Adelaide and Victoria have been called into meetings, according to union sources.

EXCLUSIVE Surfing icon Mick Fanning opens up about his chances of coming out of retirement - and the everyday task he loves since quitting the tour
Aussie surfing legend Mick Fanning has lived a life few could imagine - but it turns out simple pleasures such as the after-school run are now top of his to-do list. Speaking ahead of his annual Charity Golf Day at the Coolangatta and Tweed Heads Golf Club on June 13, the three-time world champion is loving life away from the gruelling professional tour - and the 43-year-old has no plans to emulate fellow icon Kelly Slater. Remarkably, Slater is still competing at 53. 'I definitely don't have itchy feet,' Fanning, who stepped aside from WSL events in 2018, told Daily Mail Australia. 'When I was on the tour, I threw everything into my performance. 'I've competed as a wildcard in a few events, but I'm definitely happy to be retired, I've got plenty of life projects to focus on.' One of those projects is the Mick Fanning Charity Golf Day, which sees plenty of Aussie A-list stars take part. The likes of Dylan Alcott, Sally Pearson, Ellyse Perry, Pat Rafter and Karl Stefanovic are expected on the greens this Friday, with the focus securing much-needed funds for those in need. 'Since 2022, we have raised almost $2million, which is something I am very proud of,' the Gold Coaster said. 'I'm not much of a golfer myself, I just like having a hit with my mates. 'Knowing it is for such a good cause, that motivates me.' Fanning will also 'celebrate' the 10-year anniversary of his infamous shark attack this July, where he became a global sensation. Competing at J-Bay in South Africa on July 19 in 2015, Fanning fought off a great white when competing in the final against his great mate Julian Wilson - and lived to tell the tale. The vision was seen by millions - and Fanning knows it is the first question on many people's lips when they meet him. 'I've dealt with it, I've moved on,' he said. 'It was a big incident at the time, I get it is a talking point. It was a crazy moment.' In 2016, Fanning - along with fellow surfers Joel Parkinson, Josh Kerr and Bede Durbidge - founded Balter Brewing. The windfall has been staggering, with Carlton United Breweries (CUB) eventually buying out the brand three years later. It is rumoured the return was around $200million - not bad for a bunch of laidback surfers. Born in Penrith, the die-hard Panthers fan has watched on with pride as Ivan Cleary's men have created a dynasty in the NRL after winning four successive premierships dating back to 2021. Much like his own career in the ocean, Fanning linked their sustained success to incredible athleticism, seizing big moments and calling on an expert coaching staff. And when it comes to the future of professional surfing, 'White Lightning' is excited. 'The world has evolved so much since I was on tour... look at sports science and how professional everyone is,' he said. Now a father of two, Fanning loves the daily drop off - and after school activities on the Gold Coast 'Adding surfing to the Olympics has also been great... sponsors are now getting behind athletes as they compete on the ultimate stage. 'I can only see the sport going to another level.' A father of two, Fanning loves the daily drop-off - and after school activities, one of which naturally for his son Xander, is surfing. He also has a daughter, Lyla Skye.
