Kyle Sandilands brands Karl Stefanovic an ‘a**ehole’ after he drops out of hosting his boat party

Kyle Sandilands slams Karl Stefanovic after he drops out of hosting his VIP boat party at the last minute… before the grovelling Today host apologises on live radio

He’s the outspoken radio shock jock who is never afraid to speak his mind on The Kyle and Jackie O Show.

And Kyle Sandilands did just that on Friday, as he branded his pal Karl Stefanovic an ‘a**ehole’ after he dropped out of hosting his VIP boat party just hours before the event. 

The 49-year-old read aloud the message Karl sent him pulling out of the exclusive gig, which is being held by Kyle to launch his new Nueva Prosecco.

‘I’ve just got a note from Karl. He’s coming to host – it’s a big deal,’ Kyle began. 

However, he soon revealed that Karl has sent him a text reading: ‘It’s my daughter’s 16th birthday, change of plans, it’s now at my place this afternoon. She’s got ten of her friends coming over. So sorry, don’t be angry at me.’

‘Is he trying to wriggle out? What a piece of s**t,’ Kyle said in shock, fuming that Karl didn’t know about his daughter’s birthday plans earlier.

As Jackie ‘O’ Henderson said Kyle could host the party himself, he joked: ‘Well Jackie it’s all about me. What am I, going to introduce myself?’

Later in the show, Karl rang up to explain himself and to apologise to Kyle – who pretended he had no idea that the popular host had dropped out of his gig.

Excuses, excuses! Karl went on to say that his daughter Ava (right) was turning 16, and that the celebrations would now be at his house

‘You’re the hostess with the mostess!’ Kyle quipped, to a clearly confused Karl.

‘Did you not get that message I sent you buddy? Karl said, before reiterating the text about Ava’s birthday plans.

‘She can come, the more the merrier!’ Kyle said, while Karl tried his best to wangle out of it.

Apologies. 'I called your number and left a message, I thought it was all OK. I'm so sorry,' Karl said with regret, before saying: 'I'm happy to do a phone cross!' Pictured with his Today show co-host Allison Langdon

‘You’re not that famous!’ Kyle laughed. ‘It’s not as if Russell Crowe is phoning in!’

As he hung up the phone, Kyle said: ‘What an a**ehole. Honestly. Ahh well, don’t worry. It’s hard being famous!’
