Kyle Sandilands reignited his feud with 2GB presenter Ben Fordham on Friday morning, calling him a ‘piece of s***’.
Things started when entertainment reporter Mary Madigan said she thought 49-year-old Ben would be “pretty good” as the new co-host of Today on Nine.
“You seem to have a soft spot for Ben Fordham,” said Kyle, 55, to which Mary replied: “Yes, I quite like him.”
“Because you spent the day with him and he made fun of you with his bull***,” Kyle said.
“It’s only when you’ve known him for a long time that you realize he’s just a devious, lying piece of shit.”
‘Oh, what? Do you hate him that much?’ said news anchor Brooklyn Ross, taken aback by Kyle’s outburst.
Kyle Sandilands, 55, had a blast at Ben Fordham, 49, on Friday morning, calling him a ‘piece of s***’ as he reignited his feud with the 2GB host
‘No, I don’t hate him. I’m just telling you: that’s the truth. He’s fucking manipulating and lying. Bruno, would you like to substantiate that?’ Kyle hit back.
Bruno Bouchet, his long-time manager, replied: “I think his blue eyes are way too intense and they make me feel uncomfortable in some scenarios.”
“Maybe in the scenario where he shows up uninvited to my birthday,” Kyle revealed.
“Did he show up uninvited to your birthday?” Mary asked, and Kyle doubled down and said, “He did.”
Ben declined to respond to Kyle’s comments when contacted by Daily Mail.
It comes a few months after Kyle threatened to punch fellow radio star Ben during an explosive private exchange sparked by the collapse of his $100 million ARN contract.
“It’s not until you’ve known him for a long time that you realize he’s just a devious, lying piece of shit,” Kyle said of Ben
The shock jock unloaded on the 2GB breakfast host during an appearance on The GameChangers podcast with Craig Bruce and Irene Hulme in June.
Kyle said he was furious after Ben publicly criticized the size of his radio deal following ARN’s dramatic decision to terminate his contract earlier this year.
“Ben was one of those media friends who aren’t really your friends,” Kyle said.
‘He said, “It was outrageous, it would never last… terrible math, who would be worth $200 million? It’s ridiculous!”
Kyle said he was furious when Ben later invited him to his radio show, despite his public comments.
“Then he texted me and said, ‘Mate, do you want to come?'” Sandilands recalled.
‘And I said, ‘No, you’re making a fuss about it, f*** you.’ Then he wrote back: ‘Don’t be a souk.’
That message pushed Kyle over the edge.
‘You want a slap, watch your mouth! I can’t stand his bull***,” Kyle said.
Ben then fired back at Kyle on air after hearing the comments on the GameChangers podcast.
“Kyle had a fit for little old me,” Ben told listeners. “You can always spank me, honey.”
Ben then accused Kyle of indulging in “aggressive fantasies,” claiming the exchange ended with him telling Kyle to “toughen things up.”
