Kyle Sandilands denied rumors he is taking Ozempic on Wednesday after fans noticed his extraordinary weight loss.
The radio host, 52, responded to the allegations after he appeared noticeably slimmer in just a matter of weeks.
Kyle closed claims he is taking the appetite suppressant on the Kyle and Jackie O show, but admitted he is open to trying the weight loss medication.
“I asked the doctor if this Ozempic thing worked for me because, contrary to popular belief, I don’t sit at home chewing food all day. I actually don’t eat much,” he said.
“My problem is white bread and 15 lattes a day.”
Kyle then asked his co-host Jackie O Henderson how she lost a spectacular 18kg.

“What I did was start exercising and give up alcohol, which was very important for me, but no, I didn’t do any of that,” he explained.
Kyle then agreed to try the drug during Thursday’s live broadcast of the show.
The drug, normally used to treat type II diabetes, has seen a rise in obesity prescriptions in recent years and is now used by many celebrities to maintain a slim figure.
This is not the first time the radio host has denied using Ozempic.
In January, Kyle rejected claims that he was taking the appetite suppressant after being questioned by his own news anchor, Brooklyn Ross.
“My mom asked me if you’re on Ozempic, Kyle,” the producer said on live radio, eliciting a laugh from Kyle.

Showing a photo of the media personality looking very slim just a few weeks apart, Kyle said: “It’s just a good angle on me.”
When this was not convincing enough, he added: “Maybe I’ve stopped eating so much bread and drinking Coca Cola.”
Jackie O quickly came to her colleague’s defense and said, “You always come back from [Christmas] You are a little thinner because you are healthier, because of the sun, you like twelve coffees less.
‘And my wife… I said, “Can you bring me a chocolate lollipop?” And a salad appears,” Kyle said.
‘And I get angry… but I eat it anyway because they gave it to me.’
