After admitting she ‘didn’t feel right’ spending her life single, it looks like Jackie O Henderson is now being bombarded by a bevy of guys wanting to date her.
The 49-year-old radio queen was snared on Friday when she was asked to do a live broadcast by a Sydney tradie.
But there was one problem: young Casanova was a teenager.
Kieran, 18, called into The Kyle and Jackie O Show to ask Jackie what her plans were for the weekend.
After telling Kieran that she was planning to attend a roller derby event, he wasted no time in asking the blonde bombshell if he could come along.
He even offered to buy Jackie a Red Bull energy drink.
After Kieran’s proposal, Jackie wanted to make sure she knew how old her potential lover was, asking, “It says on the screen that you’re 18.” Is that correct?
“We don’t have to worry about that,” was Kieran’s smooth response.
Since Kieran was almost half Jackie’s age, she was very concerned about this.
After admitting on Thursday that she was ‘not comfortable’ spending her life alone, it appears the gods of romance have smiled upon Jackie O Henderson
“I think so,” she replied. “My image would be shot if I was in a relationship with an 18-year-old. In my head I thought, ‘This is so inappropriate.’
Kieran showed tremendous persistence and responded with, “I’m a very mature 18 year old.”
There must have been something in Kieran’s responses that piqued Jackie’s interest and prompted the young man to tell her more about himself.
“I recently just bought a four-wheel drive. I am a carpenter, almost fully qualified. Not many 18 year olds are fully qualified, Jackie,” he said, continuing to sell himself.
The 49-year-old radio queen was finally put in the spotlight on Friday when she was asked to buy an 18-year-old Sydney tradie live on air
After telling caller Kieran that she was planning to attend a roller derby event, he wasted no time asking the blonde bombshell if he could come along, even offering to buy her a Red Bull.
The pair bonded even further when the young carpenter left school in Year 8 to pursue his trade.
“I understand,” Jackie replied. ‘I left in group 10. I wasn’t successful at school at all.’
She then congratulated Kieran on his work ethic and said: ‘Well done, now you have a four-wheel drive.’
Seeing another opportunity to preen the radio star, Kieran jumped in with, “Exactly, and he has a passenger seat. It looks like it has Jackie’s name on it too.”
It seems Kieran’s charms may have worked on Jackie, who cooed back: “Aww, I love you, you’re so sweet.”
“My image would be shot if I was in a relationship with an 18-year-old. In my head I thought, ‘this is so inappropriate.’
Jackie said she wanted to find love again after newsreader Brooklyn Ross asked the host on Thursday how she felt about the prospect of spending the rest of her life alone.
“I don’t really agree with that,” Jackie said.
‘I don’t think there’s anything wrong with me wanting that. It’s normal to want human connection – that’s who we are.
“The idea that that’s going to be forever, that’s not ideal, but if you say it’s going to be that way for the next three and four years, I’d be fine with it.”
Jackie has been married twice in the past, with her first husband being DJ ‘Ugly’ Phil O’Neil in the late ’90s.
Jackie married British photographer Lee in 2003 and the couple welcomed their daughter Catalina “Kitty” Henderson in December 2010.
The couple announced their divorce in October 2018, but continue to maintain an amicable relationship as they co-parent their 13-year-old daughter Kitty.
Kieran showed tremendous persistence and responded with, “I’m a very mature 18 year old.”
