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.

Terrifying moment rogue fan storms the stage at Katy Perry's Sydney concert with security racing to protect the pop star
Katy Perry was left startled when she was accosted by a rogue fan on stage at her Sydney concert on Monday night. The American pop star, who is on the Australian leg of her Lifetimes World Tour, was performing her hit song Hot N Cold at Qudos Bank Arena when a young man broke free of the crowd and raced up to join her. The 40-year-old appeared concerned and displeased, but continued the performance briefly before addressing the crowd. 'There's never going to be another show like this so just enjoy it' she said into the microphone. Security rushed on stage and tackled the fan, who was enthusiastically dancing alongside the pop princess. 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. The man was removed - with some fans at the show claiming he was then ejected from the arena. Some in the audience praised Perry's 'professional' response, with the singer saying to the crowd that it had been 'an eventful 20 minutes' before carrying on with the show as scheduled. Perry had another minor mishap in Sydney on Wednesday night with an aerial spectacle. The star was soaring high above the ecstatic audience at Qudos Arena when some drama unfolded. Suspended by a crane, Katy found herself momentarily headfirst towards the crowd as it unexpectedly tilted. 'Oh dear!' Katy yelped, drawing gasps from the audience, before swiftly regaining her composure and continuing her electrifying performance. Despite the heart-stopping moment, the resilient star quickly reassured fans with a wave to show she was unscathed. The footage was shared to social media and fans took to the comment section to praise Katy's performance. Security rushed on stage and tackled the fan, who was enthusiastically dancing alongside the pop princess 'I give her props for continuing to do this,' one person wrote. 'She has been to space. She's got this,' a second added, while a third wrote: 'Don't worry everyone. She's a professional.' The popstar performed three shows in Sydney in total, bringing all of her iconic hits as well as some of her new tracks from her latest album 143 to Qudos Bank Arena, with her final show in the city on June 10. Tickets to the pop icon's tour, which has received an onslaught of criticism over the last few months, have been in high demand, with the Roar hitmaker announcing two extra shows on the Australian run to accommodate all of her fans. Taking to Instagram in February, Katy revealed that she added an extra show at Sydney's Qudos Bank Arena on June 4 to kick off the Australian leg, as well as an extra Melbourne show at Rod Laver Arena on June 7. The Grammy-nominated superstar revealed that she had been humbled with the success of her Australian tour, with all previous dates now sold out. Captioning the announcement, Katy said: 'I am so blown away by the incredible demand for THE LIFETIMES TOUR that I will be adding a final show in Sydney and a final show in Melbourne to make sure all my Australian fans have a chance to experience the incredible show I am bringing.' Katy is playing a hefty 15 Australian shows in total. She announced the Australian Lifetimes tour just prior to her turn at the AFL Grand Final in September. The original run included just one show each for Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth, however fan demand dictated Katy needed to add two extra Sydney and Brisbane shows. Crestfallen Adelaide fans expressed their frustration over missing out on their chance to see Katy in the flesh but they were not left out in the cold for too long. Listening to fan protests, Katy eventually added a run of four shows in the City of Churches. 'I heard you loud and clear Adelaide, I got you!' Katy wrote on Instagram. Extra shows were also added to Melbourne and Perth as demand for the Teenage Dream hitmaker continued to rise.

MAFS fan shocked as show villain matches with them on dating app – and he's branded a catfish
Mary Gallagher, Senior Digital Showbiz Reporter Published: Invalid Date, MARRIED At First Sight groom Tim Gromie has resurfaced on a dating app weeks after being slammed by viewers for fat-shaming his TV bride Katie Johnstone. A fan shared screenshots of his Hinge profile, revealing the reality TV villain is now looking for a 'long-term relationship' but is 'open to short.' 4 4 His profile lists him as working in education, attending Monash University, and living in Melbourne. Photos show him at the beach with pals, and attending a basketball game and a footie match. But his profile left some questioning his photos on Reddit. "Look who sent me a like on Hinge," the fan captioned her post. 'Katie girl, I hope I've avenged you a tiny bit.' In the last pic on her post, she revealed she wrote back to Tim on Hinge, and said: 'That beer belly is still very much real though.' The post sparked mixed reactions from fans of the show. However another said the post went too far, and defended Tim, saying: 'I think it's quite cruel posting his private stuff on here… treat others as you'd like to be treated.' A third added: 'Bro is still catfishing with his photos.' MAFS Australia fans stunned as groom makes shock return to commitment ceremony despite early exit Tim drew widespread backlash during his short-lived MAFS stint for making critical comments about Katie's appearance, stating he preferred 'petite women.' Despite the bride's best efforts, straight after they had said "I do", unbeknownst to her, her groom stormed off. He was then seen shouting at producers, claiming Katie was "not what he asked for". Tim was accused of 'gaslighting' Katie after claiming he was making the most effort, which saw her apologise to him before he left the party after being grilled by other brides. According to Tim's groomsman Luke Stapleton, the controversy resulted in the reality star losing his job as a teacher. Speaking on the So Dramatic! podcast, he said: "Where he was working was already concerned [about Tim's MAFS appearance prior to filming]." Following the backlash, Tim deleted social media, and he is yet to confirm whether he will return to his job as a primary school teacher. FAKE ROW It also emerged that the groom was using a "fake name" on the show. An eagle-eyed fan decided to do some digging into Tim's life, and has now revealed his true identity. "I just did a deep dive on Tim on MAFS and there is something really weird going on. Before the show began Channel Nine put up contestant bios for everyone featured,' the vlogger said on TikTok. "Tim was there, but he was listed as Tim Andrews. Nine updated the bios and we can see the difference in the lingering Google data. The TikToker added that Tim's career in teaching would mean he would be registered on the Victorian Teachers Registry. But when they looked, there was not a Tim Gromie listed, but a Timothy Andrews was. "He must be registered, but I looked it up and no Tim Gromie appears. But when I put in Timothy Andrews someone does appear! Weird, right? It's all just a bit off, like what is this guy trying to hide?' she added. It's now emerged that Tim chose to use an alias on the show to "protect his teaching job". "He was really concerned about how being on the show would affect his career," a source told Daily Mail Australia. 4

Generally Netflix would gauge numerous metrics before renewing a show, including how many people initially watch it and then looking at the drop-off rate. With some shows, cancellations or renewals happen quickly. Other times, it can take months before a decision over a show's future is made. So far, Sara: Woman in the Shadows has had a good reaction online from critics and audiences alike. Given the way this show is set up, and the ending we receive, we're predicting that this will not be renewed for a second season. The series has lots of potential, but we do get most of the big plot points wrapped up and the story does finish conclusively, with our characters confronting the past once and for all. Having said that, we do also know that completion rate is a massive metric for these streamers so that could play a pivotal role here. For now, we'll have to wait and see what happens so take our prediction with a pinch of salt! What we know about season 2 so far: Barely anything is known about The Survivors season 2 at this point given Netflix haven't officially renewed or cancelled this one. Given the first season's conclusion, it does seem very unlikely to get the nod for another season but we'll have to wait and see. The final episode resolves all the conflicts and mysteries, delivering a powerful, emotional ending and closure for the survivors. The ending suggests a path towards healing as the survivors gather to honour Gabby's memory, and perhaps a step towards reconciliation. If it is picked up, we can expect another 6 episodes, and perhaps more mysteries from the past brought forward. .
