Do YOU know Jackie O’s real name?

She is known to millions of Australians as Jackie ‘O’ Henderson.

But do you remember her original surname, from before her marriages to Lee Henderson and ‘Ugly’ Phil O’Neil?

The KIIS FM radio star’s full name at birth is rarely publicised and, in the past, even her co-host Kyle Sandilands has forgotten what it is.

 

Do YOU know Jackie O’s real name? The KIIS FM radio host’s little-known full moniker from before she married husband Lee Henderson has been revealed

According to her IMDB profile, Jackie’s full name at birth was Jacqueline Ellen Last.

After marrying British photographer Lee Henderson in 2003, the 43-year-old adopted her husband’s surname.

In news articles from the mid- to late-2000s, however, Jackie was sometimes referred to as Jackie O’Neil, suggesting she still went by her first husband’s surname at the time.

Jackie married ‘Ugly’ Phil O’Neil in 1994 when she was just 19. They divorced by the end of the decade and Phil relocated to London.

Jackie isn’t the only celebrity whose full name may surprise fans, however.
