Kyle Sandilands and Jackie ‘O’ Henderson staffer in hot water after stealing actress’ Logie at star-studded event: ‘It’s just a dog act’
Kyle Sandilands and Jackie ‘O’ Henderson’s staffer is in trouble after stealing actress and comedian Kitty Flanagan’s Logie at the star-studded awards last month.
The radio duo exposed their own ‘Intern Pete’ Deppeler for stealing the silver statuette during the exclusive meeting, bringing the party to an abrupt halt.
In a series of photos released by KIIS FM on Thursday, Deppeler was seen smiling as TV presenter Julia Zemiro took the stage in search of the coveted statue.
Zemiro, 56, accepted the Silver Logie on behalf of her good friend Flanagan, 55, and was tasked with looking after the award during the TV evenings.
However, she left the Logie unattended on the floor next to a couch while she hit the dance floor with her fellow television stars.

Deppeler, 39, took the opportunity to strike and quickly shoved the award under his coat, intending to take it back to the KIIS FM studio and hold it hostage.
“He wanted to do everything on the air the next day to give it back,” Jackie, 48, revealed, but the prank was quickly ended when Julia went hunting.
The French-born RocKwiz host turned off the music in the middle of the after party and demanded that the thief return the Silver Logie immediately.

“If someone who has Logie, a Silver Logie, can you please take him to me in the corner. No questions asked. It’s just a dog act,” she said.
“So if you could return that Silver Logie for someone who wasn’t even here tonight because she was at work, I’d really appreciate it.”
At that point, fellow KIIS FM employee Joshua Fox pulled out his phone to film Zemiro as she made the announcement – a mistake as photos and videos are not allowed at the Logies after party.

“Speaking of making yourself a target… She clocks it off and says, ‘Why are you even filming this announcement?'” Jackie said.
“And everybody’s looking at Josh and all eyes are on the three of us, and I think intern Pete should be prime suspect number one.
“I said, ‘Now give it back. I don’t care how you return it. Just give it back. I’m leaving now.’ And I went out.’
Deppler went on to say he left the Logie by the toilets for someone to find, before admitting he had “no idea” if Julia had found the award and given it to Flanagan.

“He wanted to go all out on the air the next day about returning it,” Jackie revealed, but the prank was quickly ended as Julia went on a hunt.
