Jackie O Henderson, 48, has revealed her plans after radio amid reports that her and Kyle Sandilands are on the brink of a new record-breaking deal.
During an interview with The Australia Financial Review with her Besties business partner Gemma O’Neill, Henderson revealed that she would like to have something to “continue on with” after radio.
“I would love to have something already established that I’m passionate about that I could continue on with,” the mother-of-one explained.

In July this year, the radio star announced the launch of her new business venture, Besties, which she has been running on the side of her regular breakfast radio gig.
”I think it’s nice to have something else and not have all your eggs in one basket,” Henderson told the outlet.
Amid rumours that Henderson and Sandilands could be moving their breakfast show to another station, Henderson shared that she couldn’t see herself completely handing over the mic anytime soon.

“Radio for me has been my life… I’ve always been happy with that,” she added.
“It does play in the back of your mind, that as you get older – I’m not the sort of person that can see myself retiring any time soon… there’s no way I can see myself just hanging up work entirely.”
Henderson and O’Neill have been running their side hustle over the last couple of months, with special celebrity guest speakers including Gwyneth Paltrow.
Henderson’s comments comes just days after News Corp reported on Saturday that The Kyle and Jackie O Show co-hosts have asked for $200 million for a new contract with Australian Radio Network (ARN).
The deal is reportedly for 10 years and would earn Henderson and Sandilands $10 million a year until 2034.

Rumours have been swirling for months that the dynamic dynamic radio duo could be leaving KIIS Fm and moving their breakfast show to their old station as their contract is set to expire in 2024.
Amid the latest report of a whopping $200 million contract, Gemma O’Neill told The Australia Financial Review that the radio star has something “in motion”.
“The best thing to say at this point is that there are definitely wheels in motion and there probably will be some type of announcement…fairly soonish,” O’Neill answered on behalf of her business and real life ‘bestie’.
Henderson’s comments come just days after she posted on social media revealing that she had been “burnt out” at the end of last year.
“In December last year I was feeling burnt out, unmotivated and quite frankly a bit flat,” she shared to her 236,000 followers.
The radio host posted photos with her daughter and O’Neill on their “healing” trip to Fiji, revealing that she will be returning in December as part of Besties.
