Lauren Phillips had some choice words on Sunday for her former employer KIIS FM after they recently ‘liked’ one of her social media posts.
The new Nova FM host, 42, and her co-star Jase Hawkins were sacked from KIIS last year, to make way for The Kyle and Jackie O Show’s Melbourne launch on April 29.
Phillips shared a screenshot to Instagram capturing her social media notification feed, which showed KIIS FM recently ‘liked’ a video she posted.
She did not hold back when revealing what she thought about her former employer’s actions.
‘This feels like an ex-boyfriend sliding into the DM’s,’ she wrote, and added a laughing emoji.

Fortunately, Phillips and Hawkins are no longer out of work as their Jase and Lauren breakfast show was picked up by rival station Nova FM in February.
It comes after Jase and Lauren slammed their former employers at KIIS FM after their Melbourne show was cancelled to make room for The Kyle and Jackie O Show.
In their first show for Nova FM, Jase said he was ‘stung’ that The Jase and Lauren Show was replaced by a program ‘networking from Sydney’.

‘Melbourne deserves better… It was how it was handled. And not just for us, but everyone that worked on the show,’ he said at the time.
Lauren appeared to be just as miffed as her on-air partner, saying: ‘We weren’t spoken to about it. It was like we were being spoken about, but no one spoke to us.’
Jase and Lauren recorded their last KIIS FM show on December 1.

In November, Sydney-based radio duo Kyle and Jackie O signed a record-breaking $200million, 10-year deal live on-air – keeping them on the airwaves until 2034.
At the time, a spokesperson for ARN confirmed to Daily Mail Australia the deal for the Sydney duo meant their work pals Jase and Lauren were out of a job.
Jase and Lauren had their first show together at KIIS FM in 2021, and it had an overwhelmingly positive response.
Meanwhile, The Kyle and Jackie O premiered in Melbourne on Monday with a bang, with their wild first show opening with plenty of cursing and frank discussions.
