Jackie O Henderson’s shock career move as she is spotted looking at shop front in Bronte with her business partner Gemma O’Neill

Radio star Jackie ‘O’ Henderson has revealed her new business move after she was spotted checking out an empty store in Bronte on Wednesday.

The 49-year-old was seen inspecting a shopfront alongside her business partner and best friend Gemma O’Neill.

The KIIS FM radio star told Daily Mail Australia she is looking to expand her Besties business venture by opening an office.

Jackie and Gemma started their company, which hosts exclusive events and private holidays, last year and they are planning to open a commercial space for the brand.

Jackie appeared deep in discussion as she inspected the space in trendy dark jeans and a bright blue T-shirt.

She completed her look with a pair of black sandals and wore dark sunglasses.

Gemma also put on a stylish display for the outing in a beige dress and a pair of black sandals.

Jackie says her Besties business is to ‘celebrates the most important relationship in your life – your best friend’.

The company sells experiences for ‘best friends’ to create memories together.

Gemma recently denied that the pair lost money on their Besties event hosted by Gwyneth Paltrow in October last year.

The speaking engagement saw the A-list Hollywood actress and Goop founder fly to Sydney for a one-night appearance.

Despite having a Hollywood drawcard, the event, which was held at the ICC theatre, was only half-full – but Gemma insisted that was deliberate.

‘Look, we’re not professional events people and we are very new to this game, but we are really proud of the fact we wanted to do it and are having a crack,’ she told The Daily Telegraph at the time.

‘The ICC is the only venue that offered more than 2000 capacity. You can book it for full capacity or half-full. We booked for half capacity and sold just under half 4000 seats.’

Gwyneth’s fee was estimated at between $150,000 and $500,000, and tickets for the event started from $100 and went up to $2,500 for VIP access.

She also denied that a four-day Kokomo Island trip in December hosted by Besties had a poor response, or that a second trip to Fiji slated for September this year was cancelled for lack for interest.

A three-day Southern Highlands getaway scheduled for March has sold out, she claimed.

The pair also launched a line of Besties branded clothing in October.

It comes after Jackie recently revealed that she’s ‘lucky to be alive’ after taking dozens of pills a day during her battle with addiction.

The radio host confessed she took around 10-12 Stilnox/Ambien sleeping pills and 24 Panadeine Forte painkillers a day before seeking help.

‘I mean, that’s a lot of sleeping pills just for a start. A lot of people think, how did she even function?’ she told the Mental As Anyone podcast last week. 

‘My body just built up a tolerance to them, so I may as well have been taking one or two with the way they were affecting me,’ Jackie continued.

‘The 10 just wasn’t, I think it was honestly just bringing my body to an even keel in a way. That’s just an awful lot for the body to take.

‘When you look at the actual medication I was taking, I don’t know how I survived that’.

Jackie spoke about her years-long battle with drug and alcohol addiction for the first time in her memoir, The Whole Truth, last month.

She told how she spent 28 days in the famous rehab clinic, The Betty Ford Center, in November 2022 after struggling with addiction during the Covid lockdown.

After overcoming her addiction struggles, Jackie has told how she is marking her two years of sobriety on Thursday, November 14, in a milestone achievement.
