Kyle Sandilands has warned his radio co-host Jackie “O” Henderson she could be “fired” for breaching a contract.
Henderson revealed live on air Tuesday morning that she had given her teenage daughter Kitty a clue about a current challenge on the Kyle and Jackie O Show.

The KIIS FM breakfast show, which broadcasts to Sydney and Melbourne, is asking its listeners to guess a mystery noise to win $200,000.
“Why did you do that? You know it’s a breach of your own contract. You could be fired right now,” Sandilands told her.
“Is it?” she asked.
“I said she can’t enter. I didn’t need to say that. She knows that already.”
Appearing concerned, Henderson sought reassurance from KIIS FM’s content director Tony Aldridge.
“No, really? You did tell her? Oh, Jackie …” he said.
Henderson assured him that Kitty could be trusted with the intel explaining she was good at “keeping secrets”.
“You’re one of these foolish mothers that believes your child is the only child that’s not up to no good. All kids are no good,” Sandilands retaliated.
Also on Tuesday, the third radio survey of the year revealed Kyle and Jackie O Show dropped a place in the Sydney radio wars, losing out to 2GB’s Ben Fordham who jumped 1.7 per cent in points to win the breakfast slot with a 16.6 per cent audience share.
Meanwhile, the KIIS radio show is down 1.4 per cent points to 14.7 per cent.
This year also marked Kyle and Jackie O’s launch into Melbourne, which, according to the first survey period in which they feature, is not going as smoothly as hoped.
The show launched onto the Melbourne scene with only 10 weeks left of the third survey period remaining, however the KIIS breakfast slot was down 0.5 per cent.
KIIS has just a quarter of the audience held by Melbourne market leader 3AW.
Notably, the new Nova duo Jase and Lauren, who were controversially given the boot from KIIS to make way for Kyle and Jackie O, are up 0.4 per cent.
