Jackie ‘O’ Henderson celebrated thirty years as a radio host this week.
But her on-air debut actually took place much earlier, with audio of the KIIS FM star’s first ever radio appearance as a child resurfacing on Thursday.
It featured Jackie as a very excited five-year-old calling in to her local radio station on the Gold Coast.
The audio was played during The Kyle and Jackie O Show, with young Jackie giggling shrilly on the air and making jokes about her mother.
‘You were entertaining then,’ co-host Kyle Sandilands told his long term radio partner, adding: ‘Even back then you couldn’t shut her up.’

Kyle, 52, went onto play a series of throwback segments featuring himself and Jackie O including one grab from their days co-hosting 2-Day FM’s Hot 30 Countdown, which was on-air in the early 2000s.
The pair also treated listeners to the touching moment in 2010 when Jackie announced she was pregnant with her daughter Kitty, whom she shares with her second husband Lee Henderson.
