Kyle Sandilands revealed on Friday the very surprising reason he ‘can’t say anything’ negative about media mogul Rupert Murdoch on the air.
The radio king, 52, was discussing the 93-year-old’s recent marriage to his fifth wife Elena Zhukova, when he made the surprise admission.
‘We can’t say s**t about Murdoch because he owns 15% of this company. The guy has got a little bit of pie everywhere,’ Kyle said.
Murdoch is the owner of multi-national media corporation News Corp and through that owns 15% of Australian Radio Network, the parent company of Kyle’s KIIS FM network.
His co-host Jackie O Henderson, 49, added it was incredible Murdoch had found love through his recent marriage to Russian-born molecular-biologist Elena.

‘You don’t say, “you’re my third wife but I still haven’t found the love of my life”. 93 and still up on the workbench, what a legend!’ Kyle added.
It comes after Jackie O recenttly risked losing her radio job after revealing the answer to KIIS FM’s latest cash giveaway competition.
The Kyle And Jackie O Show launched their latest guessing game The Noise back in April, announcing that one listener would receive $200,000 if they could identify a mystery sound.

On Tuesday’s show however, Jackie admitted she’d revealed the answer to her 13-year-old daughter Kitty, putting the competition’s legitimacy in jeopardy.
‘I ended up telling Kitty The Noise,’ Jackie confessed.
‘Why did you do that? You know it’s a breach of your own contract. You could be fired right now,’ Kyle gasped.
‘Is it?! I said to [Kitty] that she can’t enter. I didn’t need to say that. She knows that already,’ Jackie scoffed, as newsreader Brooklyn Ross interjected: ‘What if people ask her?’

Jackie made it clear that Kitty could be trusted with the company secret.
‘[Kitty] said, “Mum, you have no idea. I’m so good at keeping secrets”,’ Jackie insisted – However, Kyle wasn’t convinced, reminding Jackie that, ‘kids are full of s**t’.
Jackie once again promised that Kitty wouldn’t share her secret, before asking the show’s content director Tony whether revealing The Noise to her daughter was a contractual issue.
