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. 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. 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 '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.

Sacked Project star Steve Price storms Kyle & Jackie O studios to confront 'nemesis' Kyle Sandilands - as radio shock jock has last laugh by holding onto his job after TV star's jabs about Melbourne ratings: 'Grubby buffoon'
Kyle Sandilands was left stunned on Tuesday morning when his 'arch nemesis' Steve Price rocked up to the KIIS FM studios after The Project was axed. The opinion columnist, 70, who had a regular seat on the news program for 15 years before it was canned on Monday, surprised the radio star for his 54th birthday. The pair have been embroiled in a feud since 2023 when Steve said the shock jock's radio show would never work in Melbourne, but it seems Kyle has had the last laugh. Their reunion was thanks to The Kyle & Jackie O Show's talent manager 'Intern Pete' Deppeler, who scouted Steve for a guest appearance as a surprise to Kyle. 'Oh my god. Your arch nemesis. And he came here. He came in the studio,' co-host Jackie 'O' Henderson said when Steve arrived in the middle of their show. 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. At a loss for words, Kyle could only say: 'Good morning, Steve. How are you mate?' 'You grubby buffoon. Incel. Have a look at him,' Steve said to Kyle, but the radio star didn't take it personally as he laughed at the jabs. When Kyle asked Steve how he ended up being Kyle's birthday 'surprise', the Project star said: 'They paid me. Lots of money.' Kyle couldn't miss the opportunity to take a dig, saying: 'I suppose you need the job now The Project's done.' Jackie, 50, went on to give listeners some background on Steve and Kyle's feud, playing audio of the pair slamming each other over the last few years. It kicked off in 2023 when The Kyle & Jackie O Show made a huge move into Melbourne and signed a multi-million dollar 10-year deal. The Project host Sarah Harris asked Steve at the time if he believed Kyle and Jackie would be successful in Melbourne. 'Kyle is a grubby buffoon. I don't think grubby buffoons work in Melbourne,' the former Triple M star said. 'He's just a grub. Melbourne will not embrace the style of that program as it is right now. Some of the sexually explicit material is off-putting.' Kyle lashed out at Steve soon after, leaving him a nasty voicemail in retaliation. 'Once again surprised at your feigned reaction on The Project. Can't you just be yourself? Can't you just say your true thoughts?' Kyle said. 'I can't wait to see you face-to-face, buddy. It's been too long. It's disappointing that as you get older you've just turned into a real piece of s***.' While The Kyle & Jackie O Show has failed to immediately take off in Melbourne, Kyle appeared to get the last laugh as his show has been steadily rising in 2025 ratings. 'You can throw the insults out, but we're 180,000 people out from winning,' Kyle told Steve this week when he joked there were only 'three listeners' in Melbourne. However, the pair seemed to put their feud to bed as Steve went on to compliment Kyle, saying he is 'talented' and 'a very nice man deep down'. Kyle returned the favour, saying he 'agreed' with a lot of Steve's right-wing opinions. 'Maybe you were right when you said we're too vulgar for family friendly Melbourne... We did pump the breaks a bit on the porno,' he added. Steve had a regular Monday night appearance on The Project for 15 years. The Project was officially axed after 16 years this week - with right-wing media personality Steve blasting the show's axing. Hosts Waleed Aly, Sarah, Steve and Sam Taunton shared their thoughts on their sacking in the opening minutes of Monday night's show. Surprisingly, it was Steve, a regular conservative voice on a show often considered left-wing, who was the most torn up about the cancellation. 'This is the best crew of people I worked with. I was 55 when I started here. I'm now 70. That's 15 years. How an old fat guy like me can survive, I don't know,' he said. Steve said the show would leave Melbourne - the city it airs from - poorer, with staff and artists left unable to talk about their products 'anywhere else'. 'I'll miss it. I don't know what I'll do on Monday nights,' he admitted. Steve did not mince words when he shared his additional thoughts in a column for the Herald Sun on Monday night. He slammed viewers who are gleefully 'dancing on the grave' of the 'woke' series amid its cancellation. 'Those ignorant people doing the "glad they got sacked" dance over the cancellation called the show woke and leftie – hello, I am the exact opposite of that description – and have been there from almost the start,' Steve wrote. 'Show me that sort of political balance on any ABC TV show – you can't.' Steve concluded: 'Melbourne and Australia has lost something unique this week – a live TV show with passion, courage, humour and a heart. It's sad.' There were no tears from the cast on Monday night, but there were some laughs - with Sam joking the 'big news about the show' was 'fantastic'. 'I think I got the tone wrong... We should take this off air!' he joked, to guffaws from his co-stars. Waleed then took over in much more serious tone, telling viewers: 'After 16 years and nearly 4500 episodes, The Project will be no more.' Waleed additionally confirmed: 'Our last show will be on June 27 and we will have a cracker.'

Stranded On Honeymoon Island finally gets a premiere date after months of delays and behind-the-scenes drama
After months of uncertainty and frustration, Channel Seven has finally confirmed the air date for its long-awaited reality series Stranded On Honeymoon Island. Billed as a bold new twist on the romance genre, the series follows six singles who meet, marry and are immediately thrust into a survival-style challenge - stranded on a remote island with no phones, no outside contact, and no escape for 21 days. Among the first couples to be introduced are Amy Dickinson and her 'groom' Mike, who tie the knot upon meeting for the first time and are then dropped into isolation, armed only with their personalities and hopes for love. 'I want to see if I can find my happy ever after,' Amy confesses, after years of failed romances. Meanwhile, Mike says he's ready to be 'respected, loved and adored' as he takes a final leap of faith. 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. But sparks may fly for all the wrong reasons. The pair's strong personalities clash from the outset, with Amy unwilling to follow and Mike used to leading - leaving viewers to wonder whether this will be a honeymoon or a nightmare. Narrated by high-profile radio host Jackie 'O' Henderson, the format is based on a hit Danish concept and adapted locally by Endemol Shine Australia. The series has already been plagued by controversy behind the scenes, with the series' rollout delayed for more than six months. Originally slated to air in late 2024, the show was quietly shelved by Seven, leaving cast members in the dark about its future. As previously reported by Daily Mail Australia, contestants were furious over the prolonged silence from the network, with one anonymous bride revealing: 'We've had enough. We've all put our lives on hold for this, and now we're just sitting here waiting for a decision.' 'Some of us have moved on and started new relationships – one of the guys even proposed to his girlfriend in real life!' she continued, adding that it felt 'insulting' to still be under contract without clarity. 'We were told to keep quiet, no relationships, no social media posts. We're basically living like prisoners, while Seven plays games with us.' Others echoed similar frustrations, claiming they were led to believe the show would fast-track their careers as influencers, only to return to regular jobs after months of limbo. 'It's just been a rollercoaster of uncertainty,' one insider shared. 'They told us one thing, then pushed the show back again and again. Nobody even knows when the series will air, and the cast hasn't been told a thing. All we've been given is silence and broken promises.' At one point, there were even calls from within the cast for the series to be axed entirely. 'I couldn't care less if it gets cancelled,' the anonymous bride said. 'Either they air it or they don't. I'm over it.' Insiders say the network was hopeful the show could rival Married At First Sight and The Block in ratings, even splashing out big money to secure Jackie O in hopes of pulling viewers. Whether Stranded On Honeymoon Island can overcome its bumpy beginnings and live up to its hype remains to be seen. But one thing's for sure – this is no ordinary honeymoon. Stranded On Honeymoon Island premieres June on Channel Seven and 7plus.

Jackie 'O' Henderson breaks down as she admits she is struggling to let go of an ex: 'That's my person'
Jackie 'O' Henderson has broken down in tears as she admitted she is struggling to let go of an ex. The 50-year-old sobbed as she discussed moving on while appearing on the new episode of the Her Best Life podcast. The radio queen told co-host, best friend Gemma O'Neill, that she was dealing with heartbreak. Despite being 'over' the relationship, Jackie said that in her weaker moments she thinks, 'That's my person'. Jackie said she hoped to 'completely let go' of the man but admitted that she 'doesn't know how' - but agreed that the man 'didn't show up' for her. 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. 'And if he's not going to show up for you, and if he's not going to be that consistent, safe, secure, loving man that you deserve, he doesn't deserve you and any more of your thoughts,' Gemma said. Jackie said that she should block the man on social media but cannot because that would mean admitting that there was no hope of reconciliation. 'It just feels like you're in this weird, warped way of thinking. And I know I'll look back and go, what was I doing? Why didn't I just block him?' she said. 'But then I think when you do that, it's like you're admitting to yourself, 'There is no more. There is no chance. There's no chance now.' 'And I think we defer, sometimes, that acceptance, because the acceptance is the painful part. Accepting that this is not every going to be what you hoped it would be, or what you were promised it would be, that's not coming back. 'But to accept that wholly is painful, and it's like I don't want to face the reality, but I think I have to.' Jackie added that the man was good to her but ultimately strung her along. 'He wasn't an a**ehole. He wasn't a user. He wasn't a d**k, you know?' she said. 'Suddenly I started thinking of him... And I thought, why am I thinking of him so much at the moment? Where is this coming from?' The radio star went on to say that she was giving herself some more time to let go before fully moving on. Jackie never disclosed who the man was and has been private about her dating life. She was last linked to former toyboy Jack Tyerman - who has since announced his engagement to another woman. The 30-year-old tradie shared the good news in a joint Instagram post in December, alongside his love Asha Dillon. Asha showed off her giant diamond sparker in the images while sharing a sweet smooch with her new fiancé. 'The last name I've always wanted,' she wrote alongside a heart and ring emoji. Many of Asha and Jack's followers quickly took to the comment section to congratulate them on the amazing news. 'So so good!!!!' one person wrote and a second user added: 'YOU GUYS!!!! So bloody happy for you both!!!' The pair have enjoyed a whirlwind romance, going public with their relationship only five months prior to the engagement. The Sydney-based tradie confirmed he was smitten with his new girlfriend in the caption: 'Have you heard I'm in love?' Meanwhile, Asha first made the relationship 'Instagram official' five months earlier. The age-gap romance between Jackie and Jack allegedly fizzled out over the radio star's memoir, The Whole Truth. Jackie was first romantically linked to the model in August 2023 when he was spotted at her luxury Sydney pad. While the relationship was said to have become a friendship, now it seems the pair don't even have that. An insider suggested the 'hot tradie' was furious about the KIIS FM host mentioning him in her book, according to The Daily Telegraph. 'Most people probably wouldn't be able to identify the fact part of the book is about Jack, but he knows it's about him,' an inside source told the publication. 'Yes, Jackie changed his name, but those close to the pair now know intimate details surrounding their short-lived relationship.' Jackie and Jack have also unfollowed each other on Instagram since the release of her autobiography. The pair were last spotted on a date in May, 2023 as they went out to dinner at popular French dining hotspot Restaurant Hubert. Jackie previously addressed the pair's relationship on KIIS FM's The Kyle and Jackie O Show when her co-host Kyle Sandilands questioned her about a date. 'We went together to the restaurant and I didn't want to drive and told him to drive [my car],' she explained, adding Jack lives close by. 'He is cute but no there is nothing going on... We went out with his sister and her husband. Just catching up.' She also spoke about the relationship in August 2023. While Jackie admitted she was 'dating' at the time, she maintained she and Jack were 'just friends'. 'No, Jack is not my boyfriend. We're not in a relationship, not my boy toy,' Jackie told Kyle. 'Jack is a good friend of mine. I know him through a friend of ours. We didn't meet on a dating app or anything like that.' The media personality went on to say she was ultimately 'to blame' for the romance rumours after she told Daily Mail Australia she was dating someone during a Logies interview. 'In my mind, I'm dating and I've been on a few dates, so I said 'maybe' [I'm dating], but I probably should have said, 'Maybe, we'll see what happens,'' she confessed. Jackie's marriage to her ex-husband Lee Henderson fell apart in 2018. They share one daughter Kitty, 14.

The illegal act Jackie 'O' Henderson is willing to do amid major nationwide crackdown
Jackie 'O' Henderson shocked listeners on Wednesday morning when she made a surprising admission about her addiction to menthol cigarettes. The radio star, 50, was discussing the 'massive' federal excise on tobacco amid concerns of a growing black market with her co-star Kyle Sandilands when they rang up NSW Premier Chris Minns to discuss the matter. Mr Minns, 45, told the hosts that one of the unfortunate side effects of the federal excise is that the huge price hike on tobacco products has created a black market where they are sold at significantly lower prices. 'There's something I hate about this [excise]. Law-abiding people are being dragged into a black market,' he said. 'They go to the store and either buy a $20 packet of illegal cigarettes, or a $60 legal one. It's just a no-brainer for them.' 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. Jackie then made the surprising admission that she was also considering resorting to purchasing cigarettes on the black market, due to the ban on menthol-flavoured tobacco products. 'I am going [to go black market] because of the menthols ban. You have given me no choice there,' she told Mr Minns. Mr Minns then advised Jackie to 'always follow the law' when it comes to purchasing tobacco products - adding it was a crime to sell cigarettes on the black market, but not to purchase them. Her surprising admission comes ahead of the NSW budget on June 24, of which Mr Minns said a decision had to be made about resources devoted to combating illicit tobacco sales. It could mean reallocating police away from domestic violence, youth crime and gang cases to regulate tobacco sales. 'We may need to do that because I'm concerned as a constituent and as a father to see the number of high street premises being taken over by tobacco firms,' he told reporters on Monday. 'But I wonder whether we need to roll this back a couple of steps and look more closely at the federal government's massive excise on tobacco.' The excise has driven down the number of smokers in NSW to about one in nine adults, the state's most recent population health survey shows. The radio star was discussing the 'massive' federal excise on tobacco amid concerns of a growing black market with her co-star Kyle Sandilands, when they called NSW Premier Chris Minns (pictured) to discuss the matter 'It's meant that many people who wouldn't go near an illegal behaviour ordinarily are buying illicit tobacco almost on a daily basis,' he said. He called for the size of the excise and its influence on illicit tobacco sales to be investigated. Jackie previously shared her own personal story with addiction with listeners during The Kyle and Jackie O Show back in October. Fighting back tears, Jackie shared that she checked into rehab facility the Betty Ford Clinic in California in November 2022, when she took an extended break from The Kyle and Jackie O Show that she previously claimed was due to long Covid. Known for treating Hollywood stars including Keith Urban, Robert Downey Jr. and Lindsay Lohan, Betty Ford charges anywhere from AU$45,000 to AU$90,000 for a month-long stay. Jackie revealed on-air that her long-time friend Gemma had been instrumental into getting Jackie into rehab. The presenter recalled: 'It came to a head and [Gemma] was such a great friend. She said "I'm sorry Jackie, but you're not going to taper off this, it will never work. I'm checking you into rehab at the end of the week and we're going".' 'I said "don't be ridiculous, Gemma like that is such overkill. I don't have a problem that bad that I need to go to Betty Ford".' 'And she said no, we're going and we're doing it and I thank God she did that. I believe she saved my life,' Jackie admitted. She said they caught a night flight out of Australia and boarded at the 'last moment' to avoid being seen and then jetted over to LA, where Gemma stayed with her for two days before she checked into the Betty Ford Clinic. At the time, Kyle - who was unaware of Jackie's drug addiction - told their listeners Jackie was taking a break to 'focus on her health' after contracting Covid. Instead, she was secretly flown out of Australia to be treated for 28 days at the world famous rehab facility for an addiction to painkillers, sleeping pills and alcohol.
