Jackie ‘O’ Henderson‘s return to the airwaves has been extended for another week after her explosive on-air clash with co-host Kyle Sandilands. 

The radio star, 50, broke down in tears earlier this month when Kyle slammed her over an apparent ‘fixation’ with astrology. 

She took a leave of absence following the fight last week, and was expected to return to The Kyle & Jackie O show on Monday. 

However,  Kyle revealed that his co-star would be off air this week as well.

Speaking briefly about her absence, he said he had no more information than listeners, adding that Jackie would return to the airwaves ‘at some stage.’

He also hinted that staff tasked with managing the situation were unsure about when she would return.

Jackie ‘O’ Henderson’s return to the airwaves has been extended for another week after her explosive on-air clash with co-host Kyle Sandilands  

It comes after Kyle dismissed reports his long-running radio show had come to an end after he was absent from Thursday’s show. 

Speaking on Friday’s broadcast, Sandilands addressed headlines suggesting he had been pulled from the airwaves, insisting his absence was simply due to a sick day.

The presenter explained he had been up through the night caring for his unwell baby.

‘I haven’t vanished, everyone,’ He said at the top of the show.

‘According to the newspapers, The Kyle & Jackie O show was over, and I vanished. It just goes to show you can never believe what you read in any of the newspapers.

‘I feel they may have had their phones cut off; no one even rang to check.’

Kyle said his three-year-old son Otto had been coughing throughout the night.

‘It was a hard night [with the baby]; every time he coughed I sort of [woke up], then I had a headache,’ he said.

He added it was ‘hard enough’ to front the show on a good day, let alone after a night of ‘broken sleep’. 

Kyle previously expressed his ‘regret’ over the fiery on-air clash that left co-host Jackie, in tears.

An emotional Jackie said she was deeply ‘offended’ by his brutal comments during the clash.

Last Wednesday, Kyle admitted he wished he had handled things differently on The Kyle & Jackie O show.

‘I obviously upset her. Maybe, in hindsight, I shouldn’t have said it on the air. But we say a lot of things on the air here,’ he said.

‘It was never meant to hurt her feelings and obviously it did. I regret hurting her feelings. No one wants to hurt someone. Especially someone you care for.’

‘I don’t really know. The show is just ploughing ahead anyway. I’m just leaving this up to management,’ he added.

Kyle went on to say he just wanted to be back on the air with everyone happy, adding: ‘I want her to be happy and enjoy it. I also want the same thing.’

He then joked he didn’t care if any of the other producers or staff members were happy because he would ‘swap them all out in a heartbeat’ for his co-star.

Jackie broke down in tears the pair were discussing Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. 

Kyle got angry at her when she proceeded to read out the disgraced royal’s birth chart.

He lambast his co-star, claiming that her love for astrology was affecting her work.

When Jackie attempted to defend herself and accused him of launching an attack on her, he stated he was only expressing the ‘facts’.
