After admitting that she was “not okay” with spending her life single, it seems Jackie O Henderson is now being bombarded by a group of guys who want to date her.
The radio queen, 49, was left in hot water on Friday when a Sydney tradie asked her out live.
But there was a catch: young Casanova was a teenager.
Kieran, 18, phoned The Kyle and Jackie O Show to ask Jackie what her plans were for the weekend.
After telling Kieran that she was planning to attend a roller derby event, she wasted no time and asked the blonde bombshell if she could come along.
He even offered to buy Jackie a Red Bull energy drink.
After Kieran’s proposal, Jackie wanted to make sure of her potential lover’s age by asking: “He says you’re 18 on screen.” Is that so?
“We don’t have to worry about that,” was Kieran’s soft response.
Since Kieran was almost half Jackie’s age, this worried him a lot.
After admitting on Thursday that she was “not okay” with spending her life single, it seems the romance gods have smiled on Jackie O Henderson.
“I think so,” she replied. ‘My image would be photographed if I was dating an 18-year-old boy. In my head I would be thinking “this is very inappropriate.”
Showing Herculean persistence, Kieran replied: “I’m a very mature 18-year-old boy.”
There must have been something in Kieran’s answers that piqued Jackie’s interest and she asked the young man to tell her more about himself.
‘I recently bought a four-wheel drive vehicle. I am a carpenter, almost fully qualified. “There aren’t many 18-year-olds who are fully qualified, Jackie,” he said, selling himself even further.
The radio queen, 49, was definitely left in hot water on Friday when she was asked out, live, to buy an 18-year-old Sydney tradie.
After telling the caller, Kieran, that she was planning to attend a roller derby event, she wasted no time in asking the blonde bombshell if she could join her, and even offered to buy her a Red Bull.
The pair became even closer when the young carpenter left school in year eight to pursue his trade.
“I understand,” Jackie replied. “I left in year 10. I didn’t thrive at school at all.”
He then congratulated Kieran on his work ethic and said: “Good for you, you now have four-wheel drive.”
Seeing another opportunity to smooth over the conversation with the radio star, Kieran stepped in and said: “Exactly, and he’s got a passenger seat.” It seems he also has the name Jackie.
It seems Kieran’s charms may have worked on Jackie, who cooed back: “Aww, I love you, you’re so sweet.”
‘My image would be photographed if I was dating an 18-year-old boy. In my head I would be thinking, “this is so inappropriate.”
Jackie said she wanted to find love again after news anchor Brooklyn Ross asked the host how she felt about the prospect of spending the rest of her life alone on Thursday.
“I don’t totally agree with that,” Jackie said.
‘I don’t think there’s anything wrong with me for wanting that. It’s natural for us to want human connection: that’s who we are.
“The idea of that being forever is not ideal, but if you said it would be for the next three four years, that would be fine.”
Jackie has been married twice in the past and her first husband was DJ ‘Ugly’ Phil O’Neil in the late ’90s.
Jackie married British photographer Lee in 2003 and the couple welcomed their daughter Catalina “Kitty” Henderson in December 2010.
The couple announced their separation in October 2018, but continue to have a friendly relationship as they are parents to their thirteen-year-old daughter Kitty.
Showing Herculean persistence, Kieran replied: “I’m a very mature 18-year-old boy.”
