has said that he is ready to return to work – if ARN want him.

'No, my world has not fallen apart. I've still got a contract that hasn't changed until they advise me as such. I'm more than happy to turn up tomorrow and do the radio show,' the 54-year-old said.
'Although we're not sure that's gonna happen as we haven't heard anything yet. Hopefully I hear by midnight and then we'll know where we all stand,' he continued.
'I want to get back to work. The listeners want me to go back to work. I've had many clients call me and say they want me back on there. We'll have to see if they're all singing from the same handbook.'

Kyle added: 'I'm willing to do the show, if they're willing to put me on. Time will tell. Might be a different conversation in the morning.'
When asked how his mental health was holding up, Sandilands was nonplussed.
He explained: 'Even my best mate, Johnny Ibrahim, called me today and said, "How are you?" and I said, "Mate I'm fine." And he said, "No, how's your mental health?" and I started laughing. I said, "My mental health is fine."
'Even my wife said to me, "You're remarkable, the way you're handling this" and I said, "Look, laying down in the corner and crying is not the way I normally do things." I've had way worse things than this to handle. I was a teenager. I've dealt with much tougher things. I just compartmentalise it.'
Kyle had the censors sweating earlier on Tuesday night as he went off script during a live episode of Australian Idol.
The radio king reportedly had radio network ARN worried that he'd say something uncouth once he was untethered by the reality show's live to air telecasts, and those concerns were somewhat founded as Sandilands took the first available opportunity to air his woes at KIIS FM.
He began by addressing host Ricki-Lee Coulter, before launching into hints that he may be out of a job as his ARN suspension deadline expires at midnight on Tuesday.
'Today, Ricki, I've got nothing else on my mind except the excitement of the vote,' Kyle joked.

He then referred to the slick black suit he was wearing for the occasion, joking that he was suited-up in the hopes of landing a job at menswear retailer, Lowes.
'I'm also dressed like this because I have a job interview with Lowes after the show,' Kyle said.
'The radio guys... once you're out of radio you have to sell socks at Lowes.'
Sandilands then glanced at his watch as he added: 'For now I've got this job, and for now I still have the other job.'
Fellow judge Amy Shark suggested that she could be a reference for Kyle if he needed a new job.
'I might take you up on that,' Sandilands quipped.
On Tuesday afternoon, the shock jock gave an official, albeit brief, statement outside his Vaucluse home as he made his way to filming duties on Australian Idol.
Addressing , Kyle confirmed that he wanted to continue work on The Kyle and Jackie O Show, but admitted that his future at KIIS FM still hangs in the balance, with the midnight deadline for a decision from ARN looming.

ARN also provided written notice to Sandilands stating it considers his behaviour during the show on February 20 to be 'an act of serious misconduct which is in breach of ARN's service agreement with Quasar Media'.
Sandilands has been suspended and given 14 days to 'remedy' the breach, or else he faces termination.
That deadline is believed to end at midnight on Tuesday.
