The sportswear expert also talked about the secret of their strong connection.
A horrified Jackie said Pip had made it sound like “we’re coming out” and Kyle joked that they were “like a lesbian couple”.
Pip added that they had a great platonic friendship and one of the things he admired most about Jackie was how kind she was to everyone they crossed paths with.
Kyle asked if Jackie had the same sweet personality off the air as she did when she hosted alongside him.
‘When I see her flooded with fans, she is very charming and gives everyone her time. She really gives it back to us and it’s really lovely to see,” Pip confirmed.
Jackie and Pip have been getting closer since September last year, when the radio host announced that the socialite would be joining her on a trip to Fiji.
The tropical holiday was organized by Besties, the business company Jackie runs with her best friend Gemma O’Neill.
A few months later, Jackie and her new friend Pip were seen enjoying a business lunch together with Gemma.
