The Kyle and Jackie O Show was plunged into chaos on Friday morning, after a producer unexpectedly quit in the middle of the show, forcing it off the air.
Kyle Sandilands, 52, and Jackie ‘O’ Henderson, 48, were presenting as usual when their non-binary producer Kayla made the bombshell announcement.
Upon hearing the news, Kyle was so shocked by it he spilled the coffee they were handing him onto the computer, short circuiting the system and taking them off the air.
‘We’re in a weird studio because I knocked coffee all down the computers. Non-binary Kayla came in and gave me the very sad news,’ he later told listeners.
‘They’re abandoning us to live their own life. As they were handing the coffee over I grabbed it and was in such shock I spilt it all over the equipment.’

The shock incident saw the breakfast show off the air for almost an hour as technicians worked hard to repair the studio and Kyle and Jackie O were moved to a nearby one.
Fortunately, their technicians managed to get them back on the air and Kyle thanked them for their hard work.
It comes after reports that Kyle and Jackie O are reportedly preparing to sign a new lucrative deal with their Australian Radio Network (ARN) bosses.
