Jackie O ‘totally fine’ after hospital scare
Jackie O is back co-hosting her hit radio program with Kyle Sandilands after she was rushed to hospital after becoming unwell live on air on Tuesday morning.
Sandilands told KIIS FM on Tuesday morning Henderson had left the studios to get medical attention after experiencing “tingling down her arm”.
Tingling down the arm can be considered a symptom of a heart attack.
Speaking to the Today Show on Wednesday, Henderson said she was now fine.
“No, I’m totally fine, I was just fighting off an infection,” she said.
“All good, got the clear and I feel good today.”
In an Instagram posted to “our loyal listeners”, the radio station confirmed Henderson had been given the all-clear on Tuesday afternoon.
“Jackie is okay,” it said in an Instagram post.
“After a series of tests, Jackie ha been treated for an infection and was released from hospital this afternoon.
“She is resting up at home and will be back on air tomorrow morning from 6.”
Kyle and Jackie O were about to interview television presenter Angela Bishop when she started feeling unwell.
“She just stepped out for a lay down. She’s got like a corset dress on and she had an operation yesterday,” Kyle explained.
“She also didn’t sleep much because of Intern Pete’s melatonin tablets that kept her up and then she’s been on the Red Bulls this morning.”
It comes just a day after Henderson had a uterine polyp, a growth on her uterus, surgically removed.
Earlier in the show, veteran radio presenter John Laws was due to appear but hung up, apparently offended by Ms Henderson’s story of her surgery.
Ms Henderson said she felt unwell because she was under anaesthetic during the operation.
“What must I have looked like on the operating table? Nude, shower cap...” Jackie ‘O revealed.
A producer had informed the pair that Mr Laws had become “offended” by the conversation and had refused to come on the show.
“Bulls**t,” Kyle said.
