Sunrise presenter Natalie Barr bombarded Jackie ‘O’ Henderson with a series of blunt questions about her recent weight loss in an awkward interview Wednesday morning.
During the sit-down, the 48-year-old radio star talked about her impressive transformation and her day on a plate.
Natalie dove in by asking a very straightforward question – exactly how much weight did she lose.
‘Um, maybe 18 to 20 kg I think,’ Jackie answered awkwardly.
“It’s quite a lot… but it’s not like I intentionally intended to lose X weight. I just wanted to be healthy and feel myself again.’
Barr then asked Jackie what drove her to shed the pounds in the first place and when she knew she had “hit rock bottom.”
“So was there some sort of low point where you thought I really needed to change?” she asked.
‘Yes, there was. A friend of mine gave me a little chat. She’s a really good friend and she’s known me for many years,’ Jackie explained.
“I think she just held a mirror up to me and said, ‘What’s going on? You’re not going anywhere, you’re not doing anything, you’re canceling (events). This just isn’t who you are’.”

During the interview, Jackie also described her new day on a board.
She said she indulges in a range of healthy meals packed with protein, fruits and veggies.
‘[For breakfast] I’m trying to make a smoothie that just has a lot of fruits and vegetables that I need,” she explained.
‘During the day it can be anything from soup to salad. I absolutely love salads.’
Jackie revealed her cup size live on The Kyle & Jackie O Show on Monday morning. She admitted that she now has a C cup size
The Weight Watchers ambassador said she prepares dishes for dinner with “vegetables and protein” that are easy to pop in the oven after a long day.
She also uses many Weight Watchers recipes for inspiration.
It comes after Jackie revealed her cup size live on The Kyle & Jackie O Show on Monday morning.
Jackie admitted that she is now a C cup size, but did not reveal her under bust size.
The blonde beauty hit back at co-host Kyle Sandilands, 51, when he said she was “back as a normal, acceptable weight.”
“What a terrible thing to say, Kyle. Any weight is acceptable,’ Jackie objected.
“You can’t say that something is acceptable in terms of weight. Those are old-fashioned standards you have there.’
Jackie recently revealed that she lost a whopping 18kg in just five months, but was forced to quash rumors that it was due to using a celebrity weight-loss drug.
Many speculated she was on Ozempic, but last month Jackie revealed she lost weight the old-fashioned way: by following a low-calorie diet, exercising regularly, and avoiding alcohol.
“The diabetes meds people talk about, I don’t take them,” Jackie replied.
Jackie recently said she often skips breakfast, a practice known as intermittent fasting (left: before her October 2022 weight loss, and right: after her weight loss earlier this month)
“Honestly, you guys can do it… but I’ll say it, I think [cutting out] alcohol and exercise was a big thing. I never did [that] before, so that was kind of the kicker for me.”
Jackie, who recently started playing tennis regularly, added that quitting alcohol and embracing exercise was ‘great’ [she’d] never done before’.
The mother of one of them also confirmed that she didn’t even drink alcohol at Kyle’s wedding in April.
Jackie also recently spoke about her new diet on The Kyle and Jackie O Show, revealing that she often skips breakfast, a practice known as intermittent fasting.
She also avoids carbs and satisfies her hunger throughout the day by snacking on pre-cut pieces of steak.
Jackie (seen in a 2021 WW photo) said in February that she ate pizza, sausage rolls and microwaved meals from the gas station before taking control of her health
