A source told news.com.au that Sandilands is eager to avoid a drawn-out trial and would consider a 'reasonable' offer from his former employer.   

'If there was a reasonable figure that made him feel like he didn’t get totally f***ed over… yeah,' the source said.

'He is a righteous guy, and he could just go, "Let’s take this to the end", but no one loves the idea of court.'

The source added that beyond the prospect of a lengthy court battle, Sandilands was 'not interested' in hearing any more 'unflattering' claims about him – such as those contained in .

With speculation swirling about who that might be, the source claimed that Sophie Monk was the 'logical next step' for Sandilands. 

'When Kyle pops back on-air, I wouldn’t be surprised if Sophie is the co-host,' they said. 'She is fantastic, lovely with everyone and very giving on-air.'

Meanwhile, both Sandilands and Henderson are set to have their day in Federal Court next week.

The pair are expected to appear before Justice Angus Stewart in separate case management hearings on Friday, April 24.

If both Henderson and Sandilands attend their upcoming hearings, it could be the first time they have crossed paths since their now fateful on-air clash on February 20.

The complaints began on August 20 when Sandilands referred to Henderson's 'psycho babble' and 'weird psychological bulls***' and allegedly attacked her personal and dating life during a live broadcast.

However, the publication reported that Kyle will claim he was not provided with any official feedback about the August 20 incident, only learning about Henderson's complaints through her statement of claim.

'I think maybe they were afraid or didn't want to intervene. Who knows?' the source said.

'I don't think it was part of some conspiracy.'

The source added that Kyle was unaware of the extent of Henderson's anger over the August 20 incident, as she never raised it directly with him.

'Dating was on the table at certain times, and he had no idea [she was still upset] because she did not mention anything directly to Kyle,' the source said.

They said that Kyle's comments were all part of his on-air persona.

'Kyle being like, "I don't know if you're going to find anyone," that is part of the parameters of the segment,' they claimed.
