Famous or anonymous: Who would Jackie O Date?

Jackie ‘O’ Henderson has accidentally admitted to breaching her contract on-air, prompting a warning from co-host Kyle Sandilands she “could be fired” for the blunder.

The KIIS FM star said on Tuesday she told her 13-year-old daughter Kitty top-secret information regarding the Kyle and Jackie O Show’s popular ‘noise’ giveaway.

The Sydney radio duo, who now also broadcast their breakfast show in Melbourne, are giving away $200,000 to the listener who can guess what the ‘noise’ is, with Henderson revealing she told Kitty the answer.

“Why did you do that? You know it’s a breach of your own contract. You could be fired right now,” Sandilands told Henderson.

A dumbfounded Henderson responded, “Is it?! I said she can’t enter. I didn’t need to say that. She knows that already.”

Henderson then sought out KIIS content director Tony Aldridge to ask if she was in the wrong, with her boss responding, “No, really? You did tell her? Oh, Jackie …”

Henderson assured the team Kitty could be “trusted” with the information, adding, “She’s very good at keeping secrets.”

Sandilands said his co-host was being delusional.

“You’re one of these foolish mothers that believes your child is the only child that’s not up to no good. All kids are no good,” he said.

It comes after Henderson, 49, cleared up rumours on-air last week she “stole” a TV gig from Channel 7 actress Ada Nicodemou.

The radio star’s next career move will see her narrate the upcoming Seven dating show Stranded On Honeymoon Island.

A report in New Idea alleged that some expected the role to be given to Home and Away’s Nicodemou, after she spruiked the show at Seven’s Upfronts last October, where the network teases its content slate for the next year.

“That was news to me – my mum sent it to me. I’m completely unaware of that story. And I actually don’t even know if they’ve got that story right, to be honest,” Henderson said.

“Because she presented that, and she’s a Seven personality, [New Idea] assumed that she would then be hosting that show or narrating that show. That’s all they’ve got it from.

“And honestly, I don’t think they’ve got the story right at all. And if they do, I’m completely unaware of it.”
