Kyle Sandilands broke down in tears on radio this morning as he apologised to reality star Ali Oetjen for jokes he’d made about her in the past.
Since 2018, Kyle has made numerous references on air to an incident between Ali and her ex-boyfriend Grant Kemp.
The couple, who met on Bachelor In Paradise, broke up when Grant allegedly caught Ali in a compromising position with a friend of his.
“I walked in with my friend Sabrina – who witnessed this whole thing – sees him going down on her on my stairs, so I kicked her out of my house that night,” Grant told the Kyle and Jackie O Show in 2018.
“I was shocked, I mean I didn’t even know what to think at the time … I was like, ‘You need to get all your stuff in your suitcase now and leave.’”
Ali has been haunted by Grant’s claims in the years since, and on Channel 7’s SAS Australia this week she opened up about the pressure of being a public figure.
“I went through a huge part of my life being really anxious,” she said through tears on the show. “Just being in the spotlight, not knowing how to deal with it.”
Ali was a guest on Kyle and Jackie O this morning, and Kyle took the opportunity to apologise to Ali for poking fun at her on radio.
“I was watching it (SAS Australia) by myself on the chair at home and I teared up when you started crying because I thought, Jesus, I’m part of that culture that talked about you, shone the spotlight on things you might not have wanted to talk about,” Kyle said.

“I felt, for the first time ever, very remorseful about my part in that.
“I just wanted to let you know … I felt like a piece of sh*t for doing what I did, because a lot of that sh*t that people were talking about happened on this show,” he said. “So I just wanted to say from where I am to you, that I regret that.
“I didn’t realise you were going through such a tough time.”
Jackie O seemed stunned by her co-host’s apology and pointed out, ‘You’re crying.”
“Yeah, it’s a sh*t thing,” Kyle said about his behaviour in the past. “It felt fun at the time but you don’t realise until you see someone getting emotional about it and you think, ‘Oh, hang on a second, these are real people.’
“You forget sometimes people on TV are real human beings,” he said.
Ali, who quit SAS Australia in Tuesday night’s episode, was audibly moved by Kyle’s apology and simply replied, “Thank you.”
