Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Henderson for comment.

Henderson has previously spoken about having a stalker, though she said they did not live in the same state as her. 

In 2023, she spoke with co-host Kyle Sandilands about Sophie Monk’s run-in with an allegedly ‘catfished’ man who showed up to her house.

The shock jock, 53, jokingly asked Henderson why she didn’t have any stalkers, to which the radio host replied: ‘Mine don’t live here thankfully.’

When Sandilands pushed for more information, she added: ‘They’re in Australia but I’m not going to say [where]. No one has turned up to my house thank god.’

Henderson is currently renovating the $13.25million Clovelly home she lives in with her 14-year-old daughter Kitty

He then joked Henderson moves around too much for any stalker to narrow in on her location. 

Henderson is currently in the middle of a $5million rebuild of her ‘dream’ home in Clovelly, where she lives with her daughter Kitty, 14, which she first purchased for $13.25million at open auction in March 2023. 

The ambitious project will see a complete transformation of the oceanfront pad, with neighbours complaining earlier this year about the noise and disruption. 

Randwick Council received complaints from local residents who claimed the demolition work on the site has created ‘horrendous’ noise. 

The small cul-de-sac overlooking Gordon’s Bay was said to be overrun with vehicles owned by tradies working on Henderson’s home and blocking road access.  

‘I don’t want to have to go to them every time I want to get out of my driveway,’ one disgruntled neighbour said.

A tradie informed news.com.au at the time that work on the site won’t be completed until June 2026.

Meanwhile, the site’s foreman said all the necessary work permits relating to the building of Henderson’s huge three-storey abode had been approved.
