Kyle Dalton Sandilands (born 10 June 1971) is an Australian radio host, shock jock and television personality. He is currently the co-host, with Jackie O, of the weekday morning radio program The Kyle and Jackie O Show on Sydney's radio station KIIS 106.5.
Sandilands has become known for publicly expressing homophobic, sexist, ableist, slut-shaming, misogynistic and bullying views and for his controversial on-air stunts.[1] This has led to companies removing their advertisements, findings of serious breaches[2] of the Industry Codes of Practice and Guidelines, and to his firing from Australian Idol.
From 2005 to 2009, and again since 2023, Sandilands has served as a judge on Australian Idol. In 2008, he became the host of Big Brother, alongside Jackie O. In 2010, he became a judge on Australia's Got Talent and also on Australia's version of The X Factor.
Sandilands and co-host Jackie O moved to new station KIIS 106.5 in 2014 with their show, The Kyle and Jackie O Show, to the ARN (Australian Radio Network).
In 2014, Sandilands made his first appearance in a motion picture in Fat Pizza vs. Housos. The film was first shown in Australian cinemas on 27 November 2014.[3][4]
