Project host’s epic spray at Kyle Sandilands

Steve Price tore Kyle Sandilands to shreds on The Project on Monday night. The radio star has responded, and he didn’t hold back.

A heated feud has erupted between Kyle Sandilands and Steve Price.

The pair have traded barbs in the past, but things went up a notch on Monday night when Price slammed Sandilands on The Project.

On the Channel 10 program, the panellists were discussing The Kyle and Jackie O Show’s launch on Melbourne radio which contained some rather shocking language.

And Price made it clear he was not a fan of Sandilands or his KIIS FM radio show.

“Kyle, last time I mentioned you on this program I called you a grubby buffoon. That was a compliment in hindsight,” Price said on The Project.

“That garbage you put to air this morning, sexualised rubbish, toxic, nobody should listen to it and you will be a massive failure in Melbourne.”

Price continued, accusing Sandilands of sending him a “threatening message” last November after his “grubby buffoon” comments, and he dared the KIIS FM star to “do it again”.

Steve Price let rip at Kyle Sandilands on The Project.

He ended the spray by saying, “I do note that you didn’t have the guts to sit down and do an interview with me to talk about your new radio show, perhaps because you’ve got the intellect of a cumquat”.

Sandilands, who’s no stranger to media feuds, responded to Price’s comments on KIIS FM on Tuesday morning, attacking both Price and The Project.

“It’s no good,” he said about the Channel 10 program. “It’s a piece of shit”.

“No one watches it, and they don’t like us.”

As for Price, Sandilands accused the fellow broadcaster of being “fake”, and claimed that Price sent a revealing note to his manager last month.

The note allegedly said: “I’m very aware Kyle and I have had some interesting whacks at each other over the years but as we know, it’s all part of the game.”

“See, I’m right, it is feigned outrage,” Sandilands said.

“Does he mean what he says or is he just full of shit?”

Sandilands was also less than impressed with Price’s prediction that The Kyle and Jackie O Show would be a ratings failure in Melbourne.

“He is someone that knows about failure,” he said about Price. “I think the last breakfast show he did in Melbourne pulled a 2.6 (referring to the poor radio ratings for Price’s show on Melbourne Talk Radio in 2012).

“You meet more people at the servo filling up fuel (than Price had listeners),” Sandilands joked.

Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O have hit the Melbourne airwaves.

Jackie O also poked fun at Price’s claim that Sandilands “didn’t have the guts” to sit down and do an interview with Price for his podcast.

“You didn’t do an interview with him because you couldn’t be bothered, it wasn’t because you were afraid,” she laughed.

“I didn’t do an interview because his podcast is not even in the Top 200,” Sandilands added.

Sandilands was also reminded by his executive producer that he called Price on air in November and left him a voicemail which said: “I can’t wait to see you face-to-face, buddy, it’s been too long. It’s disappointing that as you get older, you’ve just turned into a real piece of shit.”

Kyle and Jackie O tried to call Price again on Tuesday morning but the broadcaster didn’t answer.

This time, they chose not to leave a voicemail.
