Kyle Sandilands

In March 2009, Kyle signed a lease on a bar in King's Cross in Sydney, Australia. Kyle joked that he made the purchase so he would have a nightclub that he wouldn't be thrown out of.

In October 2008, it was revealed that Kyle would co-host Big Brother from the 2008 season along with Jackie O. The pair replace Gretel Killeen who hosted the show for seven seasons.

Kyle's first job was at the age of 15, at a service station.

In August 2007, after hearing that comedian Dave Hughes had referred to him as a "d**khead", Kyle revealed he would be prepared to go to jail for three months - after he punch him in the throat.

Kyle was voted the "Worst Male TV Personality" in the 2007 Fugly Awards.

Kyle and his fiancé, Tamara Jaber have recorded their engagement party as a pilot episode for their own reality TV series, titled, King Kyle.

When Kyle's not working, he enjoys spending time at home in Hunters Hill or out on the water in his boat

In 2006, Kyle referred to Australian Idol contestant Bobby Flynn as a "mong" - a derogatory slang for the now-dated term mongoloid, referring to people suffering from Down syndrome.

In 2006, Kyle said to an Australian Idol contestant "You'll never be the Australian Idol and you'll always be a virgin".

In 2005, Kyle told Australian Idol Series 3 winner, Kate DeAraugo, that she had "tuckshop lady arms".

In 2006, Kyle called 6-month-pregnant Fiona Connolly "fat", a "liar" and the "chick that I hate at Sydney Confidential". He also said he "would hire a private investigator to film her and her family then I'm going to put it on a website and I'm going to show everyone what members of her family do that are dodgy." He has since been banned by Austereo management from mentioning Fiona Connolly on air.

In 2005, Kyle was accused of playing his fiancee's music on the radio too often. The allegations were investigated on an Australian current affairs program, Today Tonight. In 2006, Kyle won a defamation lawsuit, which ruled that the program had defamed him.

Kyle loves to create controversy. In 2004, Jackie O arrived to a Frenzal Rhomb concert late, and Frenzal Rhomb were so offended that they played music over Jackie O as she was attempting to speak on stage. Kyle then threatened to have Frenzal Rhomb's songs banned from Austereo radio stations.

Kyle is a fan of Sydney punk-rock band, Frenzal Rhomb.

Kyle was forced to eat cat food on The Kyle and Jackie O Show on 2day fm. He was given two things to eat, and was told one was cat food, and one was chicken stew. Kyle loved the taste of the second one, so he decided that must be the chicken stew, whilst infact they were both the cat food.

On October 14 2006, Kyle and Jackie O won "Best On-Air Team" at the Australian Commercial Radio Awards.

In September 2006, Kyle was named the most hated Australian identity in a Zoo Weekly article.

In 2002, Kyle was a contestant on Celebrity Big Brother Australia.

In 2001, Kyle joined pop singer Joanne on a trip to Bali to shoot her video for her song "So Damn Fine". He was to appear in speedos in the video but rumour had it that he then changed his mind last minute and only appeared for 3 seconds in the video.

Kyle moved to Sydney in 1999, replacing Ugly Phil on the Hot 30 Countdown. Ugly Phil had recently divorced his wife Jackie O (Kyle's work partner).

During Australian Idol 4, Kyle controversially told one contestant, Jessica, that she had a jelly belly.

Kyle was #86 on "Australia's Most Trusted Celebrities".

Kyle makes up one third of the Australian Idol judge panel for Seasons 3 and 4.

Kyle was kicked out of his house when he was 15 and lived on the street for a year before pursuing his radio career.

Kyle is engaged to popstar Tamara Jaber.

Kyle's current favourite song is "SOS" by Rhianna.
