Kyle Sandilands reacts to Ozempic claims
Kyle Sandilands has been forced to address rumours that he is taking Ozempic, after returning from the holiday break with a noticeably slimmed down figure.
The radio host faced the accusations of taking the weight loss drug live on air on Thursday, after the mother of a staff member made the comments.
Newsreader Brooklyn Ross told Kyle, “My mum asked me if you're on Ozempic, Kyle,” prompting a laugh from Sandilands.
“Me? What have I done?" Kyle questioned, surprised as Jackie laughed, telling him it was his turn to be hit with the rumour.
"You're losing weight, my mum thinks you're on Ozempic!" Brooklyn said.
Showing a picture of the media personality looking very slimmed down just weeks apart, Kyle said, “It's just a good angle of me.”
Further denying the rumours, he added, “Maybe I've stopped eating as much bread and drinking Coca Cola.”
Co-host Jackie O quickly jumped to her colleague's defence, saying, “You always come back from the [Christmas] break a little bit skinnier because you've been healthier, by the sun, you're less into the twelve coffees.”
Kyle interjected to share his wife’s impact on his weight loss saying, “And my wife - I go, ‘Can you bring me a chocolate paddle pop?’ and a salad shows up.”
“And I get angry... but I just eat it anyway because it's been given to me.”
"You do look good," Jackie told him. "Keep it going, get on the Ozempic!"
"I don't care about being some thin flop!" Kyle hit back.
Brooklyn also shared that his mum believed Jackie had been taking the weight loss drug, to which she responded, "I can't convince anyone, can I? Like I don't care, but I just wish that people would know that if I was I'd just say it at this point."
Jackie O has long been denying rumours of using Ozempic in the wake of her drastic weight loss, which she credits to being an ambassador for Weight Watchers.
