Kyle Sandilands reveals the real reason Jackie O Henderson disappeared from air for extended break two years ago

As a dedicated follower of the dynamic duo, Kyle and Jackie O, I must say their recent exchange during The Kyle and Jackie O show has left me both intrigued and slightly disheartened. While I appreciate Kyle’s candor, his choice of words could have been more tactful, especially considering Jackie’s personal journey.


Radio presenter Kyle Sandilands has revealed the reason why Jackie ‘O’ Henderson took two months leave from her KIIS FM show back in November 2022.

The 49-year-old mother chose to take a break from co-hosting her radio show temporarily in order to prioritize her personal health.

However, Kyle has now revealed co-host Jackie actually took time off to focus on her appearance.

On the Kyle and Jackie O show that aired on Wednesday, the radio hosts engaged in a discussion with Abbie Chatfield regarding the controversial remarks about “slut-shaming” that Kyle had made while Jackie was away from the show.

If Jackie hadn’t been preoccupied with her own image, an incident like this wouldn’t have taken place, according to Kyle.

‘Jackie was husbandless, fat, miserable and I backed her.’

At the time, Jackie announced she was stepping down from her KIIS radio show for health reasons.

Jackie, who had been ailing and displaying signs of illness on the air for several weeks, revealed during that period that she had been battling health issues since catching Covid-19 a few months back. She required adequate rest to get better.

She shared that she hasn’t been feeling great since she contracted Covid… She’s been battling exhaustion, she informed her audience.

‘I just have to take some time off,’ she added. ‘I’m ending the show today. As in now.

She later opened up about the poor state of her mental and physical health. 

In an interview with News.com.au in January 2023, she admitted that it proved challenging for her to take some time off. Initially, she persevered, but in hindsight, she wished she had done so earlier.

She added: ‘I just could not push myself any further. I’m glad I took care of my health first because I feel like a million times better.’

During those two months away from the spotlight, I diligently worked on my holistic well-being, focusing equally on my physical and mental rejuvenation. This dedicated effort resulted in a significant weight loss and a much-needed mental reset.

In simpler terms, a vacation in Fiji with her 13-year-old daughter Kitty last year improved her eating and sleeping habits, making it easier for her to resume work in January 2023.

She mentioned that she began participating in various forms of physical activity, such as tennis and aquatic aerobics. She finds it absolutely incredible because it targets every muscle in the body.

Jackie emphasized that understanding personal boundaries and taking time off when necessary is crucial to avoid exhaustion from overwork.

Regardless of your current situation, I assure you that you will gain more self-confidence as you begin to adopt a healthier lifestyle.
