It appears Jackie O is so fed up with her radio co-host Kyle Sandilands that she stormed out on him live on air, forcing producers to air 40 minutes of pre-recorded segments.
The walkout came after the pair began feuding on air during their KIIS FM morning slot not long after the “Breakfast with the stars” show kicked off at 6am.
Jackie had a go at Kyle for calling in sick on Friday last week. “You left everyone high and dry on Friday,” Jackie said.
“If you vomited in the car I don’t think you’d come to work either,” Sandilands replied.
The pair continued to exchange words with Kyle saying: “I’m happy to go home again. I don’t have to put up with this”.
“You’re always sick on a Friday,” Jackie said, “I’m putting it out there”.
The show then cut to a news segment, before producers were forced to play 40 minutes of pre-recorded shows, presumably while the spat continued to escalate off air.

Kyle then came back on air alone and said: “In the spirit of transparency I’d like to let everyone know that Jackie and I, during the news, have had an argument and Jackie’s left.”
“I’m not going to go into why, how, when, who said what, what happened, anything that got flicked around, she’s just not here.”
Kyle hosted the rest of the show until 9am on his own with the help of producer Pete Deppeler.
Kyle has previously been dubbed the “king of sickies” by newspapers for repeatedly calling in unwell. The incident also comes less than a month after Kyle vomited live on air in the studio.
The pair got into another on-air spat recently, after Jackie blamed Kyle for celebrity guest Cameron Diaz cutting short an interview.
“Well that started very well and ended poorly I think, good one Kyle,” said Jackie O after said interview. “You ruined that interview, sorry to be blunt.”
“You brought up Drew Barrymore, her best friend’s drug addiction in the past. And then you brought up Benji (Madden) and we all know how protective Cameron is about her private life.”
