Meanwhile, Jackie's sensational on-air exit in February was the beginning of the end for one of Australia's most enduring radio teams.
KIIS FM owners ARN then announced that Henderson had told them she 'could not continue to work with Mr Kyle Sandilands', after their now notorious argument was broadcast during The Kyle & Jackie O Show.
The split led to ARN terminating Jackie, before ripping up Kyle's contract two weeks later.
The former radio partners both launched separate lawsuits against ARN last month.
