Kyle Sandilands will return to face the music over the coming days.
The controversial KIIS FM breakfast host is due to arrive home in Sydney this weekend and will be back on air at the station’s Macquarie Park studios from Tuesday (Monday is a public holiday).
Sandilands has spent the past week broadcasting from Los Angeles after controversial comments about the Virgin Mary landed him in hot water.
“Kyle will be based back in Sydney next week,” an ARN spokeswoman said.
Sandilands is also expected to attend the Channel 10 programming launch for 2020 next week.
On Monday, with outraged protesters stationed at the radio studio, the 48-year-old admitted he was “dumb” to make offensive comments about the Virgin Mary that sparked ongoing protests from Christians and Muslims.
He claimed to have received hundreds of irate calls, as well as death threats, for joking that the Virgin Mary was a liar who “got knocked up behind a camel shed” and that those who believed the Bible were “dumb as dogsh*t”.
Apologising, he said: “I am the dumb one for saying it. What I didn’t realise until I started taking these calls is that I had stepped on the belief of other people and that is what I had done wrong. I truly believe that … no other person has the right to make us feel less for believing whatever we believe in.”
