The airwaves were unusually quiet today as it was revealed Kyle Sandilands was in the hospital with an infected leg after a spider bite.
His KIIS FM co-host Jackie O told listeners that the shock jock, who is currently in LA, was battling a serious infection and joked that he “could lose his leg”.
“It’s black and blue, it may need to be amputated,” she jokingly revealed on their show this morning
In previously unheard audio from the Easter break, Kyle said that while in the U.S, his “leg swelled up…like Kirstie Alley” and became “purple” and “infected” thanks to a suspected spider bite doctors think happened while he was still in Australia.
“I’ve spent over five grand on medical bills,” the 45-year-old added.
Jackie responded that she’d been researching prosthetic options for when he “probably lose[s] his leg” – including a gold version.
This is the latest in a long list of ailments for the radio star, the latest of which included a triple hernia earlier this year.
Despite his hospitalisation, Kyle is believed to be in a stable condition.
“Kyle’s going to be fine,” Jackie insisted after the initial jokes.
