Jackie ‘O’ Henderson cut a very casual figure on Thursday as the fallout surrounding her and Kyle Sandilands‘ contracts being terminated continues.
The former radio queen, 51, was spotted checking out the construction of her Clovelly dream home with her high-profile interior designer pal, Steve Cordony.
Henderson wore a loose-fitting wheat-coloured ring-neck T-shirt from Byron Bay label Spell.
Possibly wearing her heart on her sleeve, Henderson gave a telling hint about her plans for the immediate future with her choice of garment, with the top reading: ‘Go slow for a little while.’
The T-shirt was a collaboration between Spell and First Nations singer-songwriter Nidala Barker, and the statement comes from her track, One Of Those Days.
Perhaps even more telling, the song’s lyrics contain the line: ‘This is not a call for help / I’ll be alright please don’t fret / I just need to go slow / Go slow for a little while.’

Despite the laidback nature of her T-shirt, the mood at the site was anything but.
Henderson and Cordony looked all business as they inspected the progress on the home.
Henderson finished her casual look with a pair of loose-fitting cargo pants which she accessorised with an oversized leather belt, tied in a knot around her waist.
Wearing her flaxen locks down, Henderson also shielded her eyes with a pair of black Ray-Ban sunglasses, and carried a leather handbag on her shoulder.
While the pair appeared focused on the job, there was time for a tender moment as Henderson and Cordony embraced to bid their farewells.
The sighting comes after ARN terminated Sandilands’ KIIS FM contract in a bombshell move on Wednesday following his on-air blow-up with Henderson.
In an explosive statement obtained by Daily Mail on Wednesday morning, the 54-year-old admitted he doesn’t ‘accept’ the fate of his role at the network.
He also confirmed the matter will now be in the hands of his lawyers.

‘ARN has just announced they’ve terminated my contract,’ he said. ‘I don’t accept it.’
Kyle continued: ‘My lawyers told them last week this would be invalid. And guess what? It is.’
‘Let me tell you what actually happened here. Jackie and I had a blue on air. That’s it. The kind of thing we’ve done a hundred times in 25 years,’ he continued.
‘And ARN took the situation and decided to try and burn the place down. They sacked Jackie. They suspended me.
‘They wouldn’t even let me pick up the phone to call her or anyone else on the show.’
‘Then – and this is the bit that gets me – once they’d made it impossible for the show to go on, they turn around and say, “You didn’t fix it. You’re fired!”‘ he continued.
Kyle added that he had apologised to Jackie the night after their on-air clash last month.
‘I said sorry to Jackie the night of our blow-up. And when I said I was sorry to Jackie, I meant it. I still mean it,’ he explained.

‘But it doesn’t mean I will stand by while I am separated from the people who’ve listened to me every morning for 25 years.
‘Before they suspended me, ARN said, “Let us handle it,” and I listened. In the two weeks since, I’ve done everything ARN asked. I said, put me back on air.’
‘I’ll work with Jackie. I’ll work with someone else. Whatever you need.
Every single time – “no.” They weren’t interested. They didn’t want to fix this,’ he continued.
While Henderson has been coy about her future career plans, she dismissed suggestions that ARN had offered the radio queen her own show.
Daily Mail revealed on Wednesday that the media personality has no intention of branching off on her own without her co-host.
The mother-of-one was questioned about her future in radio as she was spotted leaving her hairdresser, Koda Cutters, in Bondi.
‘Any plans to start your own radio, Jackie?’ the paparazzo asked, to which she firmly stated: ‘Oh, no.’

Henderson’s home is expected to be worth an eye-watering $30 million when the rebuild is complete
Meanwhile, Henderson’s home is expected to be worth an eye-watering $30 million when the rebuild is complete.
Situated in one of the most sought-after locations in Australia, Henderson is currently doing an entire rebuild of the home, to the tune of a whopping $5 million.
The sprawling oceanfront rebuild, overseen by Robert Plumb Build and Madeleine Blanchfield Architects, has surged into its next phase, with the multi-level concrete shell now taking full shape and the show-stopping curved pool structure clearly defined.
The site – located in a scenic position featuring sweeping oceanside views – was cleared of the original 1960s-era six-bedroom, three-storey home, leaving a vast, open canvas for the huge job.
Henderson bought her new home after pocketing a tidy $2 million in profit on the sale of her old home in Woollahra, after paying $11 million for it in 2020.
