Radio host Jackie ‘O’ Henderson has tested positive for Covid-19.
She broke the news shortly after 6am on The Kyle and Jackie O Show, saying she’d caught the virus from her 11-year-old daughter Kitty.
Jackie, 47, sounded a little croaky but was well enough to broadcast from home.

She explained coronavirus was ‘rampant’ in her daughter’s school, so it was only a matter of time before she ‘joined the Covid club’.
The mother of one descried her symptoms as ‘somewhere between the flu and a cold’.
Jackie had been in the KIIS FM studio in Sydney on Monday when her co-host Kyle Sandilands and his fiancée Tegan Kynaston announced they were expecting a child.

However, there is no suggestion either of them is at risk. Kyle and other staffers present on Monday were in the studio on Wednesday and didn’t seem worried.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted KIIS FM, Jackie’s representative and Kyle’s manager for comment.
It comes two days after Kyle, 50, and Tegan, 36, confirmed their baby news live on air.

The couple don’t yet know the sex of the baby, which is due is August, but have already decided on boy’s and girl’s names.
‘We’re having a baby!’ Kyle declared as the entire KIIS FM studio cheered.
He added that he was hoping for ‘either a girl… or a little gay son’, before praising his partner’s ‘beautiful, big, meaty t***ies’ since becoming pregnant.
