Jackie ‘O’ Henderson has been spotted out and about just one day after revealing her past battles with drugs and alcohol.
The 49-year-old radio host shocked listeners Thursday by sharing heartbreaking details of her journey with addiction while talking to his co-host Kyle Sandilands on his radio show.
But on Friday, the popular KIIS FM star appeared to have put his drug-related drama behind him as he inspected the purchase of a new property in Sydney’s eastern suburbs.
A smiling Jackie was seen outside the large house located in the sought-after seaside suburb of Clovelly.
Dressed in khaki shorts and a graphic T-shirt that read “Forever Young,” Jackie appeared to be discussing her new multimillion-dollar renovation project with architects and tradesmen.
Accessorized with a pair of black designer sunglasses, the blonde beauty appeared to go makeup-free for her meeting and wore long blonde locks pulled back into a long ponytail.
She finished her look with a pair of tan sandals and a large bag.
Earlier this year, the high-flying celebrity teased fans with details about how she plans to transfer the two-story house to her dream floor.

Features include spacious open-plan living spaces with sea views, a new built-in swimming pool and sculpted gardens and palm trees.
In March, it was revealed that Jackie spent $13.25 million on a three-story beachfront home in Clovelly at an open auction.

The 49-year-old radio host shocked listeners Thursday when she shared heartbreaking details of her journey with addiction while speaking with her co-host Kyle Sandilands on his radio show.
Jackie had previously complained about intrusive paparazzi as a reason for selling her former home.
It comes after the slender beauty shared her personal story with addiction with listeners during the Kyle and Jackie O show on Thursday.
Fighting back tears, Jackie shared that she entered the Betty Ford Clinic rehab facility in California in November 2022, when she took an extended break from The Kyle and Jackie O Show that she previously said was due to a Long Covid.
Betty Ford, known for treating Hollywood stars such as Keith Urban, Robert Downey Jr. and Lindsay Lohan, charges between $45,000 and $90,000 AUD for a one-month stay, depending on the program.
Jackie revealed on air that her old friend Gemma had been instrumental in getting Jackie into rehab.
Jackie emotionally credited Gemma with saving her life by persuading her to check into the Betty Ford Clinic.
She recalls: ‘It came to a head and (Gemma) was a great friend. She said, “I’m sorry, Jackie, but you’re not going to cut this back, it’s never going to work.” I’ll take you to rehab at the end of the week and we’ll go.”
“I said, ‘Don’t be ridiculous, for Gemma to do something like that is an exaggeration.’ I don’t have a problem bad enough that I need to go to Betty Ford.”
Dressed in a Forever Young T-shirt and khaki shorts, Jackie seemed to enjoy discussing her new multimillion-dollar renovation project with architects.
“And she said no, let’s go and we’ll do it, and I thank God she did it,” Jackie admitted.
“Thank God there was someone like her because I think she saved my life.”
She said they took a red-eye flight from Australia and boarded at the “last minute” to avoid being seen and then flew to Los Angeles, where Gemma stayed with her for two days before checking into the Betty Ford Clinic.
She said Gemma accompanied her to Los Angeles and helped her get on the plane “undetected” while she talked about keeping her addiction a secret for two “long, painful years.”

At the time, Kyle, who was unaware of Jackie’s drug addiction, told his listeners that Jackie was taking a break to “focus on her health” after contracting Covid.
Instead, she was secretly flown out of Australia to receive 28 days of treatment at the world-famous rehabilitation center for her addiction to painkillers, sleeping pills and alcohol.
At the height of her addiction, Jackie took between 10 and 12 Stilnox/Zolpidem and 24 Panadeine Forte sleeping pills a day and took them while drinking alcohol.
Stilnox users are warned not to drink alcohol, as it can slow down the respiratory system and make it difficult to wake up.
Jackie said Betty Ford told her not to change “anything” about its use before she arrived as it could be “dangerous”, so she was still taking the pills on the day she flew to the US.
Jackie also said she went “back and forth” over whether to share the news publicly before detailing the extent of her addiction in her upcoming memoir The Whole Truth, scheduled for release Oct. 29.
