Australian radio royalty Kyle Sandilands has sent fans into a frenzy after sharing a remarkably awkward throwback photo from his early broadcasting days with co-host Jackie O Henderson.
The controversial shock jock, 52, took to social media to post the cringe-inducing snapshot from what appears to be the late 1990s or early 2000s, showcasing a fashion sense that would make modern stylists shudder.
The Blast from the Past
In the viral image, a fresh-faced Sandilands sports what can only be described as a questionable hairstyle and dated attire, while Jackie O appears equally trapped in the era's fashion trends. The photo perfectly captures the duo before they became the multimillion-dollar earning stars they are today.
'We looked absolutely ridiculous,' Sandilands joked during their popular KIIS FM breakfast show, 'but we were having the time of our lives back then.'
Listener Reactions
Fans of the long-running radio pair were quick to flood social media with reactions to the nostalgic photo:
- 'This is absolute gold! How far you've both come'
- 'The fashion choices are sending me - what were we thinking in the 90s?'
- 'Proof that everyone has awkward phases, even celebrities'
- 'Still the same great chemistry, just better stylists now!'
From Humble Beginnings to Radio Royalty
The throwback serves as a powerful reminder of the duo's journey from relative unknowns to becoming one of Australia's highest-paid and most recognised radio partnerships. Their chemistry, evident even in the early snap, has stood the test of time through numerous network changes and controversial moments.
'Looking at that photo, we were just kids having fun,' Henderson reflected during the broadcast. 'We had no idea we'd still be working together decades later.'
The viral moment comes as the pair continue to dominate Australian airwaves, proving that while fashion may be temporary, great radio partnerships are forever.
