Kyle Sandilands calls radio rival Jase Hawkins a 'little sidekick b***h' as he reveals his first paycheck was because of him: 'You got fired because your show was s***'
Kyle Sandilands took a swipe at radio rival Jase Hawkins on Wednesday morning, calling his former assistant a 'little sidekick b***h'.
The KIIS FM star, 53, whose multimillion dollar radio deal put Jase, 43, and his co-host Lauren Phillips out of a job last year, revealed details about how the pair first met.
Kyle said Jase, who was once known professionally as Labby, got his first paycheck because of him and was treated like a 'slave' early on in his career.
'Jase Hawkins, who we used to call Labby, but he wanted his own name up in lights... He was a great little b***h around here, a little sidekick b***h,' Kyle said.
'And I met him when he was 16 in Brisbane, he's not even from Melbourne.'
'How did you guys meet?' co-host Jackie 'O' Henderson asked.
'Well, I started working at Triple M in Brisbane at the night show and he just started as like an assistant to me after the assistant on the show,' Kyle explained.
'He was just answering phones and cutting up things and splicing up tapes... I actually thought he was employed there and I treated him like a slave.
'Until I realised he was volunteering. That's when I felt bad and I made sure he got paid, so his first paycheck was thanks to me, but he was a great little worker.
'I moved to Sydney and then I moved him cause he was a great little worker. So I brought him to Sydney as well and he lived with me for a few years.'
Kyle then went on to note Jase's various gigs in radio following their time together, saying he was a fame w***e.
'Then he wanted to be the big fame w***e himself and he went up to Brisbane, failed. Then went to Melbourne, worked for KIIS, failed,' Kyle said.
Jase co-hosted the successful Labby, Stav & Abby on B105 in Brisbane and also worked with Kyle and Jackie, 50, at 2DAY FM, hosting the Hot30 Countdown.
However, Jackie went on to note Kyle failed to mention Jase was also a success over in New Zealand where he hosted Jase & PJ with Polly Harding.
The KIIS FM star, whose multimillion dollar radio deal with Jackie 'O' Henderson put Jase and his co-host Lauren Phillips out of a job last year, revealed details about how the pair first met
'Oh, well, no one knows New Zealand. It's still failure in Australia but people in America would go, "Oh successful in Australia is not really successful,"' Kyle said.
'Anyway, the guy finally got a run and has had some success in Melbourne and he's very good, don't get me wrong, I don't not like the guy.
'But, you know, really he's had success because of the woe is me campaign that they run down there. "Oh, we got fired." You got fired because the show was s***.'
Jase and his co-host Lauren, 42, are currently making it big at Nova and embroiled in a ratings war with Kyle and Jackie in Melbourne.
The pair defected to Nova after KIIS axed their morning show to make way for The Kyle & Jackie O Show's multimillion dollar expansion into the Victorian capital.
'We've just got to do our own thing. Let everyone else get caught up in the drama and s*** and we'll keep doing us and having fun,' Jase told Daily Mail Australia last year.
Jase and Lauren, who spoke while at the ACRA Awards, also said they were thrilled their program was rating so well in Melbourne.
'It's a blessing in disguise. It's been a year where our heads are spinning,' Jase said.
'The show didn't changed when we moved to Nova, but we feel more accepted there. It's been the best,' he continued.
'We've definitely felt the support of Melbourne, which has been really nice,' Lauren added.
'I think back to last year's awards when we were feeling so uncomfortable and so unsure of what our future was. We sat at the very back table over there,' she said.
'We're really chuffed with the nomination tonight.
'Not just for us, but we've got our whole team here tonight. Quite a few of them have come over to Nova with us so they've been on this roller coaster with us.'
The two teams have been battling it out in the Melbourne market with Nova's Jase & Lauren soundly beating The Kyle & Jackie O Show in the ratings.
However, this year could be a turning point as the KIIS FM show has been steadily gaining the market share in recent surveys while Jase & Lauren are dropping.

Morning Mail: Aukus in doubt as Pentagon reviews pact; Beach Boy Brian Wilson dies, Australia fight back at Lord's
Morning everyone. The Pentagon dropped a metaphorical bomb this morning, with the news it is launching a review of the Aukus pact, central to Australia's defence policy for the next 50 years, to check whether it is 'America first'. Meanwhile the mayor of Los Angeles has accused the Trump administration of provoking six days of unrest as part of an 'experiment', as other American cities prepare for protests. And the world is mourning the death of Brian Wilson, the creative force behind the Beach Boys. At home, Choice has exposed the shortcomings of some suncreen brands, and research shows we're listening to less homegrown music. Plus: Australia's men's cricket team fought back strongly at Lord's. Tuned out | The international success of acts such as the Kid Laroi and Amyl and the Sniffers (pictured) is not translating into more listens for homegrown talent, new research shows, with only 8% of the top 10,000 artists streamed in Australia in 2024 from these shores. AI push | Australia must 'lean in hard' to the benefits of artificial intelligence or else risk ending up 'on the end of somebody else's supply chain', according to the new industry and science minister, Tim Ayres. Methanol hope | Australian researchers have developed a prototype methanol 'breathalyser' capable of detecting small concentrations of the toxic substance in alcoholic drinks or on someone's breath. Zero sum | The financial cost to reach net zero by 2050 may shape the Coalition's decision on whether to retain or abandon the target, says the new shadow minister, Dan Tehan. Screen test | Some of Australia's most popular sunscreens, including some made by Bondi Sands, Banana Boat and the Cancer Council, are falling short of the level of skin protection on the bottle, a Choice investigation has found. Vale Brian Wilson | Brian Wilson, the Beach Boys musician, songwriter and producer who created some of the greatest pop music ever made, has died aged 82. Wilson was the creative force behind songs such as California Girls, Good Vibrations and God Only Knows. Aukus review | The Pentagon has launched a review of the Aukus submarine and defence agreement to make sure it is aligned with Trump's 'America first' agenda, throwing the $240bn defence pact with Britain and Australia into doubt. Trump 'experiment' | US immigration officials have increased 'enforcement activity' in California's agricultural heartland and the mayor of Los Angeles accused the White House of trying to test federal power as the conflict between the state and Donald Trump's administration intensifies. Follow developments live as other US cities brace for protests. Trump's show of force in LA was years in the making, experts have claimed, while the rightwing media has stepped behind the administration to attack the protesters as 'invaders'. China deal | Donald Trump has endorsed the US-China trade deal struck in London that will ramp up supplies of rare earth minerals and magnets needed for the automotive industry, saying it will take total tariffs on Beijing to 55%. Gaza tragedy | A Palestinian doctor whose husband and nine of her 10 children were killed by an Israeli strike has been evacuated from Gaza, bound for Italy with her only surviving child. The shocking death toll from inaction in prisons Ariel Bogle and Christopher Knaus speak to Reged Ahmad about why warnings about ligature points in prisons are still being ignored and what it will take to stop preventable deaths.

With his illuminating graphs, Jericho argues that wealthy people oppose the changes because they're worried the rest of us will realise the system is rigged. When he became involved in setting up an animal sanctuary in the Indonesian jungle, Warren Ellis was a bit concerned he might come across as a 'Bono-like, grandstanding' figure.

MAFS star reveals she was cruelly mum-shamed at son's sports day after giving him an ‘unhealthy' lunch
A MARRIED At First Sight star has revealed she was cruelly mum-shamed at her son's school after she opted to give him an unhealthy lunch. MAFS AU bride Cyrell Paule took to her Instagram stories to reveal the shock in-person encounter which happened during her child's sports day. 4 4 The reality TV star revealed she had been sick all week and had been struggling to make a packed lunch for her child to take with him to school. Her illness even left her debating whether to bother to go and watch her son during his sports day at all after being left feeling so run down. As a result, she told how when she did manage to make it along to his school, she decided to buy him a McDonald's for his lunch after being unable to make him anything healthier. But she was soon bashed by another mum who shamed her for feeding her son fast-food during a sports day. On Instagram, Cyrell wrote: "Today I was mummu shamed... at least that's how it felt." She then spoke to the camera, in which she said: "By the time it was lunch time, I thought, do you know what, there is a Maccas [McDonald's] down the road. "I was so sick and so yeah, I won't lie, I didn't really pack him a suitable lunch for a sports carnival. "He didn't have the carrots or a cut-up cucumber. "One kid close-by was saying like, 'ah yum I love nuggets, I had McDonald's the other day,' but the mum was like, 'you aren't getting McDonald's today, you are at a sports carnival, you are not supposed to be eating that'. "Dude, yes I admit it is a lazy lunch and I could probably have done better but you know what, I don't need you to tell me I am doing a s*** job." MAFS star Sacha shows off new nose after surgery She then said: "So to all the mums out there who feel like what your doing isn't enough, you do you. "Stop judging each others parenting, no one knows your child or your situation. "Do what makes your family happy." The former healthcare assistant shot to fame on the 6th season of the Aussie show that was filmed back in 2018. She became a mother to her baby boy Boston on February 9 2020. His father is Love Island Australia star Eden who she met at a party in March 2019. On MAFS, she was married to Nic Jovanović. After an explosive relationship, the pair called it quits before filming wrapped after a series of arguments. Things then got messy back in March 2019 when Cyrell said on Instagram that dating Nic was a 'huge' mistake. Commenting on Nic's height, the fan wrote: 'He looks huge', to which Cyrell replied: 'Yeah he is huge... a huge mistake.' She also accused her ex of flirting with MAFS co-star Jessika Power throughout filming, but he denied this. 4 4

Farmer Wants A Wife triumphs in TV ratings war as the reality show trashes the competition leaving MasterChef in the dust
Seven's Farmer Wants a Wife has triumphed in Tuesday's overnight TV ratings war. The wholesome dating show scored an impressive total national audience of 853,000 viewers. Over on Nine the latest season of Lego Masters Australian managed a far less impressive rating with a total of 741,000 tuning in to the quirky contest. MasterChef Australia on the 10 Network managed 648,000 - a slight improvement from this time last week when it won 619,000 viewers. The ratings numbers for the national average combine the audience watching on broadcast and as well as viewer-on-demand in metro and regional areas. 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. Over on Nine the latest season of Lego Masters Australia (pictured) managed a far less impressive rating with a total of 741,000 tuning in to the quirky contest It comes after eagle-eyed Farmer Wants A Wife fans have noticed a striking resemblance between a woman appearing on this year's series and an iconic Hollywood star. Fans have taken to social media to point out that Farmer Jack's potential match Olivia looks remarkably like former Hollywood child star Mara Wilson. Wilson, 37, had an incredible career as a child star in the early '90s, appearing in Mrs Doubtfire with Robin Williams and Matilda with Danny DeVito. 'Olivia is the adult version of Matilda,' commented one fan. 'For sure! How uncanny,' wrote another before a third added: 'I see this every time she talks.' Meanwhile, one of the country boys faced a major life decision on Tuesday night. The question of whether or not Farmer Jack's love interest Olivia wants children became an important discussion for the pair and their budding romance. Olivia took the opportunity to clarify the conversation she'd previously had with Jack, 26, saying having a family was all about timing. 'I don't want kids right now, but I have seen the possibility of kids in the past with a previous partner, so I know that's possible for me if I'm with someone,' Olivia said. The 27-year-old added that she didn't want to be defined solely as a mother. Jack was pleased to hear Olivia speak about family still being on her radar and asked her outside. The pair shared a one-on-one chat which led to their first kiss. Knowing that Sarah and Olivia were now his top two contenders, Jack asked Hayley outside to break the sad news to her – she would be going home at the end of the night. While past seasons have ended with heartwarming updates and countryside lovebirds riding off into the sunset, this year's reunion promises fireworks, behind-the-scenes truths, and a few very awkward catch-ups. In a major spoiler for fans, Daily Mail Australia can reveal that Farmer Jack ends up choosing Sarah – and the couple are already making big plans for their future. An insider close to production spills: 'Jack and Sarah were inseparable by the end. She's planning to move down to Tasmania to live on his farm full time. They're the real deal.' While their romance flew under the radar for much of the season, sources say their chemistry became undeniable behind the scenes.
