As Don Burke’s public reputation continues to spectacularly crash and burn, several people who have encountered him personally have come forward with their views on the man.
And on Tuesday, Kyle Sandilands, Jackie ‘O’ Henderson and Tracy Grimshaw shared their thoughts on Don, while chatting on KIIS FM’s Kyle & Jackie O Show.
Jackie divulged she had even once had Don visit her home, but he did nothing untoward while he was there.
‘He was very respectful’: Speaking on KIIS FM’s Kyle & Jackie O Show on Tuesday, Jackie ‘O’ Henderson (left) said Don Burke once visited her home and was ‘fine’… despite her hearing rumours that the TV star could ‘fly off the handle’
‘I’ve had him at my house,’ Jackie O said on the radio show.
‘I had heard stories that he could fly off the handle and be rude but he was fine in my presence. I never saw anything that… I mean he was very respectful.’
Earlier in the segment, Tracy recalled her own encounters with Don.
‘I have to say, he’s never crossed the line with me,’ she said.
‘I can’t remember ever an incident where he’s been inappropriate but I’ve heard stories about him over the years but never the sort of litany of information that obviously came to light yesterday.’

But it wasn’t just the women who had encountered whispers of how Don could behave.
Jackie’s radio co-host Kyle Sandilands also admitted he had heard the TV star wasn’t the nicest of people to be around.
‘I’ve heard he’s an a-hole and difficult to work with and has an explosive temper – they’re the stories that I heard, ‘ Kyle confessed.

On Monday, numerous allegations surrounding the disgraced gardener publicly emerged via The Sydney Morning Herald and the ABC.
Among them are claims that the TV personality sexually harassed numerous female colleagues, as well as groped woman and a teenage girl.
Swimming legend Susie O’Neill is one of the latest high-profile women to accuse Don of wrong-doing, claiming the former Burke’s Backyard host asked: ‘Is your c**t as big as that?’ as she stood in front of a painting of a flower in her own home.
