On the other end of the spectrum, 2GB breakfast host Ben Fordham presented Sandilands with an $8 Casio watch he bought at a garage sale. On radio this week, Sandilands said he threw Fordham’s present overboard.

“Kyle has got an active imagination. He didn’t throw the watch overboard. He pretended to throw it overboard,” Fordham told Confidential. “It ended up on the present pile with all the other expensive stuff he requested. Personally, I was only prepared to fork out $8 on a stopwatch that would have been worth at least $30 when it was first released in the 1980s. If he really threw it overboard, I wouldn’t have blamed him. I bought it at a garage sale.”
