Kyle Sandilands has revealed details of his ‘cameo’ in season 2 of the crime series The Last King of the Cross.
The radio host appeared on the small scene in the Paramount+ drama – a fictionalised story of real-life Sydney identity and nightclub owner John Ibrahim.
Sandilands, 53, a long-time friend of Ibrahim, is depicted by an actor enjoying some after hours fun in a crowded night spot in the final episode.
‘I got paid nothing [for the scene]’ Kyle joked during a segment on The Kyle and Jackie O Show on Wednesday.
Kyle also confessed he was asked by the producers whether he wanted to be depicted ‘accurately’.
‘I said “yeah”‘ [but] I didn’t realise ‘accurate’ was doing lines on chicks a*****,’ he joked.
Kyle’s ‘character’ appears for just seconds in the final episode of the eight-part series, which is set in the early 2000s.
Sandilands is seen seated in a nightclub booth with two attractive women snuggling up to him.

In the blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment, Kyle’s character, played by actor Govinda Roser, can be seen ‘toasting’ John Ibrahim (Lincoln Younes).
In August, Last King of the Cross producer Mark Fennessy commented on Kyle’s ‘scene’ for an interview in industry blog Media Week.
‘It’s how Kyle wanted to be depicted to a degree and it’s typical of his sense of humour,’ he said.

He added that Sandilands actually visited the LKOTC set while the show was in production last year.
‘He [Kyle] and John are very close friends. Kyle has always been a great supporter of the series.’
Both seasons of The Last King of the Cross are based on Ibrahim’s 2017 bestseller.
The second season once again sees Claude Jabbour as Sam Ibrahim, John Ibrahim’s brother.
Likewise, Detective Liz Doyle, played by Tess Haubrich, Big Tony, played by Matt Nable), Tongan Sam played by Uli Latukefu and Simone played by Janet Anderson all reprise their roles.
TV Tonight reports that ‘the family dynamic takes centre stage this season’ with new characters spicing up the mix.
Dave Hoey steps in as younger brother Michael Ibrahim, and another new role, Fadi, is played by newcomer Alex Kaan.
According to Variety, the first season of the show was sold into multiple overseas territories including Germany, Italy, the UK, and Ireland.

The first 10-part season starred heartthrob Lincoln Younes as the Kings Cross identity and focused on his relationship with his brother Sam (played by Claude Jabbour).
Both men were prominent figures in Sydney’s nightclub district and the series explored key events in their lives, including John’s near fatal stabbing and other attempts on his life.
