Kyle Sandilands throws drink at Ben Fordham live on-air
Kyle Sandilands and Ben Fordham have clashed during a live interview.
The radio rivals joined John Laws' on his 2SM show on Wednesday, for one of Laws' final shows before he retires when things got heated.
The trio had been chatting about various topics for 15 minutes when the conversation turned to the US election.
After Sandilands gave his opinion on Trump's strong performance, Fordham sarcastically responded with: “Of all the experts on American politics, what an honour for John Laws to have Kyle Sandilands commenting on it this morning.”
The comment sparked an immediate reaction from the KIIS FM host, who retaliated with: “I’ll throw this water in your face, b***h."
"I don’t care who you think you are.”
“Well go on, do it!” Fordham challenged him.
The 2GB host pushed him over the edge when he said: “You talk tough to the paparazzi …” and was cut off when Sandilands threw a tall glass of water over his face and chest.
“Oh my lord!” a shocked Fordham said.
“There you go,” Sandilands told him. “Don’t push a Brisbane boy.”
Laws seemed rather amused by the chaos, and as Fordham tried to dry himself off, he took another cheeky dig at Sandilands.
“Kyle’s wet too, but that’s perspiration,” he said.
The interview went on for another 15 minutes and towards the end of the chat Laws apologised to Fordham saying: “I’m sorry you’re wet."
“I bet you’ve never said that before,” quipped Sandilands.
To make matters worse for Fordham, the NSW premier, Chris Minns was waiting just outside the studio doors.
“I’ve got all this water all over me, it looks like I’ve wet myself, and now I’m going to go outside and there are VIPs out there,” Fordham said.
“Embarrassing.”
On Thursday morning, the KIIS FM radio host reflected on the on-air clash, claiming that he was the one who invited Fordham to appear with him on Laws' radio show.
“I shouldn’t have invited him, I’ll never invite him anywhere again,” he said.
“He just carried on like a carnival person,” Sandilands continued. “He kept yelling and he kept interfering.”
In response, Fordham reportedly told news.com.au, “Kyle knows he’s boring on his own. That’s why he roped me in to join him.”
