KYLE Sandilands has confirmed he will be making his television comeback in a Judge Judy style show on the network that sacked him.
After being dumped as a judge on Australian Idol by Channel 10 in 2009 for questioning a 14-year-old girl rape victim with a lie detector, Sandilands has buried the hatchet to return to the network.

The show dubbed “Trial by Kyle” will see the radio presenter solve “real life problems” — including everything from minor celebrity battles to potential legal issues.
Sandilands made the surprise revelation to co-host Jackie O, saying that so far, he has only signed on for one episode.

“I’m returning to Channel 10. The people who terribly fired me back in the day. If I hold grudges, why would I go back to a dog of a network that treated me so badly?” he said.
“I’ve signed off on it. I’ve signed off to do one — I’m not sure how it’s going to go. People will come in with their stupid arguments (and) neighbourhood disputes, maybe some girl got a tit job and she wants to sue her doctor.”
The outspoken radio star said his common sense made him the right choice for the show.
“Real life feuds. Celebrities going up against photographers. I’ve already got one of those locked in. This is the sort of show I’m going to do.
“(It’s) very, very similar to arbitration. I haven’t decided if it’s just going to be me or a panel of jurors.”
Sandilands said there is the possibility of him hosting the show alongside a panel of jurors.
“I’m not the authority on everything but I’m common sense,” he said.
