Shock as Kyle and Jackie O show’s executive producer resigns after seven years

The Kyle and Jackie O Show’s executive producer Pedro Vitola has quit the radio station after seven years.

Pedro joined the show in 2017 after winning a listener contest for the ‘World’s Best Job’.

In 2020, he was promoted to senior producer before becoming executive producer in January last year.

He has now stepped down from the role at KIIS FM to focus on becoming a dad after welcoming his newborn daughter Lucia with his wife Patty last week.

‘It’s been an amazing ride, and I’m so grateful to Kyle, Jackie, and the entire team for the opportunities I’ve had,’ he said in a statement.

‘As much as I love the show, my new role as a dad is my top priority, and I’m excited to spend more time with my family.’

‘I’ll always be a fan and can’t wait to watch KJ smash Sydney and Melbourne!’

KIIS Content Director Tony Aldridge said: ‘Pedro has brought incredible energy to the show, and while we’ll miss his presence, we fully support his decision to focus on his family during this special time.’

Pedro’s departure comes just one week after he and his wife Patty announced the birth of their first child

Pedro’s departure comes just one week after he and his wife announced the birth of their first child.

The executive producer revealed live on-air Friday morning that his wife Patty had given birth to a healthy girl.

Co-hosts Kyle Sandilands, 53, and Jackie ‘O’ Henderson, 49, spoke to Pedro and Patty over the phone, as the new parents cared for their bub at the hospital.

‘I’m gagging bro! I’ve never seen so much s**t in my life!’ Pedro quipped, as he confirmed his beautiful partner had given birth. 

He also revealed his newborn daughter’s adorable name – Lucia.

‘Congratulate to Pedro and Patty on the birth of their little girl. He will be a great dad,’ the hosts added.
