Jackie O thought her mic was off when she commented on a MAFS contestant. It wasn't.

Jackie ‘O’ Henderson and KIIS FM co-host Kyle Sandilands have been busy interviewing MAFS contestants this week, but it hasn’t exactly gone smoothly.

Bronson from MAFS called into the pair’s breakfast show on Thursday (and engaged in a very awkward conversation about his… penis ¯\_(ツ)_/¯) but it was what happened afterwards that left Jackie O embarrassed.

After going back and forth with Bronson asking whether he was circumcised for not (…for real), Kyle ended the interview and the show went for a commercial break.

Unfortunately for Jackie, Kyle forgot to turn her mic off during the break and a negative comment about Bronson went to air.

“What a dud!” she could be heard saying, according to news.com.au… And oh, that’s awkward.

Listen to our Married at First Sight recap podcast. Post continues below audio.

The radio hosts addressed the mistake on Friday’s show with Jackie yelling at her co-host: “Of all the times to leave my microphone on! Oh my god, you f*ck!”

Poor Jackie – that was actually her second uncomfortable moment with a MAFS contestant this week.

Before interviewing contestant Elizabeth, Jackie described her to Kyle as the one with “long blonde hair, whack eyeliner, big lips” in an off-air chat.

“I’ll tell her that her makeups no good.”

Everything in the studio is recorded so of course, Kyle played the snippet to Elizabeth when she joined them in studio.

Backtracking, Jackie explained that she thought Elizabeth was “much prettier” without the makeup.

“Thank you,” Elizabeth responded before offering to do Jackie’s make up for her…

We wonder if the host will take her up on that.

I only did a few years of community radio many moons ago and making sure your mic was off before talking was basically rule #1/The Golden Rule even at that level.
God knows how she managed to be in the industry for 25 years and not get her head around that.

Not buying it sorry. She's been working in radio long enough to know that she should always be checking her mic. She's also well aware that everything is recorded.
