Jackie ‘O’ Henderson revealed her surprising ‘girl crush’ on Monday evening as she gushed over Matildas star Mackenzie Arnold.
The radio star, 49, took to Instagram as she attended the Tillies international friendly rematch against China at the Accor Stadium in Sydney after their 1-1 draw on Friday.
She shared video of Mackenzie, 30, warming up ahead of the game with a few practice kicks as she donned her goalie gloves and Matildas uniform.
‘Creepin’ on my girl crush,’ Jackie captioned the short video alongside an emoji which depicted a set of watchful eyes.
In the footage, the soccer player stood on one of the touch lines before jogging forward and angling a shot straight into the net, unaware Jackie was filming her.

Meanwhile, the radio host quietly stood behind Mackenzie within reaching distance and tried to grab a sneaky shot of her face while panning the camera around.
Unfortunately for Jackie, Mackenzie has been seriously dating girlfriend Kirsty Smith since 2022.
Despite claiming Mackenzie was her crush on the team, Jackie was later seen posing up a storm with star forward Caitlin Foord.

Jackie O also captured footage of the rest of the team
Jackie first revealed she had her eye on Mackenzie back in August last year when she revealed her crush on The Kyle and Jackie O Show.
The media personality said she became captivated by the goalie’s striking form during the FIFA Women’s World Cup.
‘I kept thinking about that goalkeeper, right? I actually got a full blown crush on this girl. I was watching her and going, “Oh my God,”‘ she began.

‘I was just imagining all the scenarios where she’d protect me. You can tell she’d be so fiercely protective of her girlfriends.’
Fill-in co-host Pedro Vitola then joked that women admitting they would turn lesbian for an attractive sports player was now a popular social media trend.
‘There’s a trend on TikTok, all these girls are like, “I’ve never noticed but I would actually turn lesbian for this player,”‘ he joked.
‘We are so lame! We watch one soccer game with chicks and now we are all turning,’ Jackie added.
