Kyle Sandilands says he may still buy a Christmas gift for Jackie O's daughter
Kyle Sandilands says he is still the godfather of Kitty, the 16-year-old daughter of his former co-host Jackie “O” Henderson.
He said he may still need to buy her a Christmas present, despite his fractured relationship with Jackie.
The pair worked together on Australian radio for nearly three decades, but their partnership ended after an on-air argument in March.
Sandilands said he does not understand what caused the split and that he still cares deeply about Jackie.
Jackie said she could no longer work with him, alleging a toxic workplace environment.
She is suing their former employer, ARN Media, for more than $82 million in the Federal Court after her contract was terminated.
Sandilands now hosts Kyle Sandilands Live with newsreader Mary Madigan.
