'She's got nothing to prove': Beau Ryan makes a big claim about Jackie O's future on breakfast radio
Jackie 'O' Henderson's shock departure from her and Kyle Sandilands' namesake show has made headlines country-wide – and another big-name media personality has weighed in on their future.Beau Ryan, co-host of Triple M Breakfast and former colleague of the duo, made a surprising prediction regarding what's next for her. Discussing the topic with co-hosts Cat and Woodsy, Ryan declared he "doesn't see Jackie O doing brekky radio again."Want the official inside scoop on MAFS, unfiltered and unseen?

The radio host and television personality – who has previously worked as a long-time contributor on KIIS FM's Breakfast show – went on to say that while she may return to morning radio in future, she'd have no reason to.READ MORE: 'Should be coming from her': Jackie O fans divided after bombshell exitREAD MORE: Jackie O's 'big shift' weeks before bombshell radio exitREAD MORE: The eerily similar on-air blow-up between Kyle and Jackie O"Why would she? She's got nothing to prove. She's made serious money, and she's been on very, very big money for a long time."Ryan then speculated about what ARN, KIIS' parent network, may do next.He suggested that Love Island's Sophie Monk could be a leading contender for the role of breakfast co-host in Henderson's seat, while comedian Jim Jeffries could slot into Sandilands' spot.But when asked whether he would consider teaming up with Henderson if approached for the role, Ryan was quick to rule out the prospect."I love it here so much. The working environment is so important, especially doing hours like this," he responded."Anyone who gets up [at a time] with a '3' in it, you've got to work somewhere you love. The three of us have a good thing going on here."For a daily dose of 9honey, subscribe to our newsletter here.The host shared his running theory in regards to Sandilands' future in media, speculating that the shock jock will be picked up for a solo "Howard Stern-style" gig once the fallout surrounding Henderson's exit dies down.And giving further insight into Sandilands' behaviour beyond the mic, Ryan was quick to commend the embattled host's life off-air."He's the most generous person I've ever met," Ryan revealed."Whatever you need, Kyle will look after you... if you need something from him, at any time, he will help you out physically, emotionally, financially – and everyone around him knows that."Ryan has previously described himself as "very good friends" with both Sandilands and Henderson, having worked very closely with the pair during his time at KIIS.FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.
