Jackie ‘O’ Henderson revealed her surprise ‘girl crush’ on Monday night as she gushed over Matildas star Mackenzie Arnold.
The radio star, 49, took to Instagram as she attended Tillies’ international friendly rematch against China at Sydney’s Accor Stadium following their 1-1 draw on Friday.
She shared a video of Mackenzie, 30, warming up ahead of the match with a few practice kicks as she put on her goalkeeper gloves and Matilda’s uniform.
“Creepin’ on my girl crush,” Jackie captioned the short video alongside an emoji depicting a set of watchful eyes.
In the footage, the footballer stood on one of the touchlines before running forward and throwing a shot straight into the net, unaware that Jackie was filming her.

Meanwhile, the radio host stood quietly within arm’s reach behind Mackenzie, trying to get a sneaky photo of her face as he panned the camera around.
Unfortunately for Jackie, Mackenzie has been in a serious relationship with girlfriend Kirsty Smith since 2022.
Despite claiming Mackenzie was her crush on the team, Jackie was later seen cooking up a storm with star striker Caitlin Foord.

Jackie O also captured images of the rest of the team
Jackie first revealed she had her eyes on Mackenzie last August when she revealed her crush on The Kyle and Jackie O Show.
The media personality said she became fascinated by the goalkeeper’s striking form during the Women’s World Cup.
‘I kept thinking about that goalkeeper, right? I really fell in love with this girl. I looked at her and said, “Oh my God,” she began.

“I just imagined all the scenarios where she would protect me. You can see that she is so fiercely protective of her friends.”
Invulco host Pedro Vitola then joked that women admitting they would become lesbians for an attractive athlete was now a popular trend on social media.
“There’s a trend on TikTok, all these girls are like, ‘I never noticed, but I was actually going to become a lesbian for this player,’” he joked.
‘We are so stupid! We’re watching a girls soccer game and now it’s all our turn,” Jackie added.
