Jackie ‘O’ Henderson has finally started work on her new “dream home” in Sydney’s eastern suburbs, almost two years after purchasing the waterfront property.
The radio star, 49, took to Instagram on Saturday to share videos of heavy construction equipment tearing down parts of the sprawling mansion.
In one clip, a large crane could be seen demolishing the walls of the original three-story home, which Jackie purchased for $13.25 million in March 2023.
Another clip showed a time lapse of the decades-old six-bedroom house being destroyed stage by stage as the site was prepared for construction.
“And so it begins,” Jackie captioned the post as she shared her excitement for the upcoming construction.
The property is situated on a cliff top overlooking the ocean in the sought-after coastal neighborhood of Clovelly, which is 9km from the CBD.

Earlier this year, Jackie teased fans with a sneak peek at her incredible design plans for her “dream home,” which is costing the star $5.05 million, according to now to love.
Taking to her Instagram in February, the KIIS FM star showed off her plans to create a chic space with a stunning multi-million dollar sea view.
Another image showed a beautiful outdoor pool built right on the coast and surrounded by sculpted gardens and palm trees.
Sharing snaps of her future home, Jackie tagged prestigious architects Madeleine Blanchfield in the post and revealed who is behind the impressive construction.
A spokesperson for Jackie said the images were “mock-ups of options for what her new home will look like.”
Jackie snapped up the property in March 2023 for a whopping $13.25 million at an open auction.
The house is set back from the road, offering Jackie the privacy she has not had in the narrow streets of her former home.
The famous media star had previously complained about intrusive paparazzi as a reason for selling her former home.

Jackie hasn’t shied away from sharing a series of photos from the idyllic trip on her Instagram page in recent days.

She flew to the picturesque destination with her 14-year-old daughter Kitty (pictured), whom she shares with her ex-husband, photographer Lee Henderson.
Jackie gushed about her daughter in a sweet Instagram post about the special day while making sure to commemorate the occasion.
She shared an old photo of Kitty cuddling her dog while praising her only son in a caption.
‘Happy 14th birthday to the kindest, funniest, most thoughtful girl I know. How did I get so lucky? I love you, Kitty,” Jackie wrote alongside the image.
Jackie shares Kitty with her ex-husband Lee, whom she split from in 2018 after a 15-year marriage.
Speaking on her Kyle and Jackie O show in October, Jackie hinted that the lack of spontaneous romance in their relationship was a catalyst for the split.
“In a marriage, when you have a child, keep an eye on that from time to time,” he told co-host Kyle Sandilands.
Kyle then suggested that the marriage could have been saved if she had spent more time preparing dinner for her husband.
“If you had organized a taco night on Tuesday, it might have had a different ending,” he said. —Meatball Wednesday?
Jackie replied: ‘I’m not saying that alone saves him, I’m just saying that it’s appreciated when you do something nice for your partner. Don’t become complacent.’
