As the fallout surrounding the and saga continues, one media insider has slammed claims the pair are gearing up for an on-air reunion.
The Daily Telegraph reported on Monday that Sandilands and Henderson were on the verge of mending fences and hoping to return to their hit KIIS FM breakfast show together.
Appearing on Sunrise on Tuesday, entertainment reporter Peter Ford rubbished the claims, saying there wasn't a 'hope in hell' of an on-air reunion.
When host asked Ford if there was any chance of hearing Sandilands and Henderson on the airwaves again, he replied with a succinct: 'No.'
'People I know are thinking, "Oh it was a publicity stunt after all,"' he added.
He doubled down on the assertion later in the interview with: 'I don't believe that there is a hope in hell of them getting back on air together any time in the future.'
As the fallout surrounding the Kyle Sandilands and Jackie 'O' Henderson saga continues, entertainment guru Peter Ford has slammed claims the pair are gearing up for a reunion
Peter said that this fact was made perfectly clear in the statement that KIIS FM's parent company Australian Radio Network (ARN) released a statement to the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) on Tuesday, March 3.
'You've got to go back a week to the statement that was given to the stock exchange. Now, there never was a press release about this – it was always the statement to the stock exchange,' he said.
'You can tell fibs in a press release. You can't do that in something to the stock exchange.

Ford added that the fact the statement mentioned Henderson's 'termination' meant a return to the airwaves, as part of The Kyle & Jackie O Show, was highly unlikely.
'They made it very clear that Jackie O's contract has been terminated. Not we're thinking about it – it has already been terminated,' he said.
Despite the slim-to-none chance of a professional reunion, Ford added that he hoped Henderson and Sandilands could repair their personal relationship.
'On a personal level, I hope they are [talking again] because they were great mates.'
Ford also claimed that he believed Henderson may be having second thoughts about her decision to walk away from her $100million contract, suggesting that she 'walked into a trap'.
