Jackie O was found "slumped over" in her car before work this morning.

KIIS FM breakfast radio host Jackie O Henderson barely made it to air this morning, after crippling abdominal pain left her paralysed in the station car park.

The 42-year-old was discovered slumped over the steering wheel of her car, unable to move, by KIIS content director Derek ‘DB’ Bargwanna.

“Jackie and I pulled in (to into the carpark) at the same time. I walked past the car and there she is, slumped over the steering wheel,” the station boss said on air.

“I opened the door she virtually falls out of her car, and she can’t walk.

“She’s white at a ghost!”

When Henderson eventually arrived in the studio 10 minutes into the program, she said she occasionally experiences chronic period pain as a result of her past struggles with endometriosis, an incurable condition in which the tissue that lines the uterus grows outside the womb.

“It started out as just having normal period pain,” she said.

“Something weird happened in the car where it started to get really bad and then I started getting shaky and my blood went cold and I felt like I was going to be sick. I couldn’t warm up.”

Henderson recovered and managed to make it through the remainder of the program alongside co-host Kyle Sandilands.
