Kyle Sandilands and Jackie ‘O’ Henderson get involved in a vicious fight on the air as tensions rise over radio segments: ‘You can suck it’
Radio stars Kyle Sandilands and Jackie ‘O’ Henderson got into a heated fight on air on Wednesday over whether to accept a late answer during a quiz.
The pair were questioning a female contestant during a Tradie vs Lady segment and one tough question got them to answer correctly — a second after the timer went off.
Jackie, 48, started cheering when they gave the correct answer, but was bluntly told by Kyle that he wouldn’t accept the late answer.
‘Ah, suck ad**k,. They get the point,” said an excited Jackie O.
‘No. You can suck the dick because it was after the timer, long after that. There are no points. We’re not married, you’re not going to win here,’ Kyle shot back.

The pair then reached a stalemate with both refusing to relinquish their positions.
The fight comes after Kyle hinted that he will be leaving KIIS FM after nine years to move to rival network 2Day FM.
In June, he told co-presenter Jackie O, 48, that he was asked by paparazzi about the rumors when he returned to Sydney from his European honeymoon.
Kyle hinted that he was open to a possible move if he got an attractive offer, and asked Jackie, “What’s my motto?”
“Where there’s a cash register, there’s a way,” she replied.

Kyle confirmed she was right and joked that this was also Jackie’s motto.
According to the Australian Financial Review, the duo’s old network, SCA, had been “quite aggressive” in pursuing the pair as their current deal with KIIS FM and ARN expires in 2024.
“This is like sports rights for radio. It is very likely that this will be the largest talent media deal ever,” said a network insider.

ARN Media CEO and Managing Director Ciaran Davis told Daily Mail Australia: ‘We don’t view contract negotiations as a one-off exercise.’
A spokesperson for SCA declined to comment on the speculation when Daily Mail Australia reached out.
The Kyle and Jackie O Show originally aired on 2Day FM from January 2005 to December 2013 and moved to current network KIIS FM in January 2014.
