KIIS FM host Jackie O Henderson has admitted she’s “f**king terrified” after she promised to shake things up in 2018.

The 42-year-old, who is expected back on air later this month with her shock jock co-host Kyle Sandilands, has revealed what she hopes to achieve this year.

“Decided my New Year’s resolution would be to say yes to the things I would usually say no to. I’ve basically lived my whole life being a big chicken, any activity where there might be even be a one per cent chance of dying or breaking a bone, I would have said no to,” she wrote on Instagram today.

“So this year I’m going to give things a go (at least once anyway) .....skydiving, maybe a night dive in the Sydney Harbour and my first one — learning to surf. That might seem pretty tame to most people but I’m f**king terrified of waves — think it stems back from being smashed by a huge one as a kid.

“Thanks to my mate Steve for being my instructor and for starting me out on the tiny waves (baby steps). So here’s to an “adventurous” 2018 and any suggestions on things to try I’d love to hear.”

In an interview with News Corp in October, Jackie O explained how Kyle and their army of KIIS FM producers came up with an idea for their radio show, which was scrapped.

“To put it in context, the other day we had a conversation about how I have been through IVF and I still have in storage, in the freezer, probably about 10 or 12 embryos,” she said at the time.

“I said to the guys, ‘You know, I don’t think we’re going to have any more kids and I’m still paying every month for the storage. I have no idea what I’m going to do with them.’

“So of course, they had an idea. You know how we do those competitions where we say, ‘You get a car! You get a holiday!’ They wanted to give away my embryos. ‘You get a baby!’”

Off-limits topics for Jackie O on air is her sex life with her husband, Lee, it was also revealed.
