Natalie Barr’s brutal question to Jackie ‘O’ Henderson about her weight loss

Sunrise host Natalie Barr hit Jackie ‘O’ Henderson with a series of blunt questions regarding her recent weight loss in an awkward interview on Wednesday morning.

During the sit-down, the 48-year-old radio star opened up about her impressive transformation, as well as her day on a plate.

Natalie dived in by asking a very straightforward question – exactly how much weight she’d lost.

‘Um, maybe 18 to 20kg I think,’ Jackie awkwardly replied.

‘It’s quite a lot… But it’s not that I was setting out intentionally to lose X amount of weight. All I wanted to do was just be healthy and feel myself again.’

Barr then went on to ask Jackie about what initially prompted her to shed the pounds, asking when she knew she’d hit ‘rock bottom’. 

‘So was there kind of a rock bottom moment where you thought I really need to change?’ she asked.

‘Yeah, there was. I mean, a friend of mine sort of gave me a little talk. She’s a very close friend and she’s known me for many years,’ Jackie explained.

‘I think she just held a mirror up to me and said, “What’s going on? You don’t go anywhere, you don’t do anything, you are cancelling (events). This is just not who you are.”‘

During the interview, Jackie also detailed her new day on a plate. 

She said she tucks into a range of healthy meals packed with protein, fruit and vegetables.

‘[For breakfast] I try and do a smoothie that just has loads of the vegetables and fruit that I need,’ she explained.

‘During the day it might be anything from soup or salad. I absolutely love salads.’

For dinner, the Weight Watchers ambassador said she preps dishes which include ‘vegetables and protein’ which can easily be put in the oven after a long day.

She also uses a lot of the Weight Watchers recipes for inspiration.

It comes after Jackie revealed her cup size live on The Kyle & Jackie O Show on Monday morning.

Jackie admitted she is now a cup size C, but didn’t reveal her under bust size.

The blonde beauty hit back at fellow co-host Kyle Sandilands, 51, when he said she was ‘back as a normal, acceptable weight.’

‘What a terrible thing to say, Kyle. Every weight is acceptable,’ Jackie rebutted. 

‘You can’t say that something’s acceptable in terms of weight. That’s old fashioned standards that you’ve got there.’

Jackie recently revealed she’d shed a whopping 18kg in just five months, but was forced to shut down rumours it was due to taking a celebrity weight-loss drug.

Many speculated she was taking Ozempic, but last month Jackie revealed her weight loss was done the old-fashioned way: by following a low-calorie diet, exercising regularly and cutting out alcohol.

‘That diabetic medication people talk about taking, I don’t take that,’ Jackie replied.

‘Honestly, you can do it, guys… but I will say, I reckon [cutting out] alcohol and exercise was a big thing. I’ve never done [that] before so that was kind of the kicker for me.’

Jackie, who recently started playing tennis regularly, added that quitting alcohol and embracing exercise ‘was a big thing [she’d] never done before’. 

The mother of one also confirmed she didn’t even drink alcohol at Kyle’s wedding in April.

Jackie also recently spoke about her new diet on The Kyle and Jackie O Show, revealing she often skips breakfast, a practice known as intermittent fasting.

She also avoids carbohydrates, and satiates her hunger throughout the day by snacking on pre-cut pieces of steak.
