‘I thought you were starting to corona out on me’: Kyle Sandilands and Jackie ‘O’ Henderson fear they have COVID-19 after chatting to Christian Wilkins… but they’re still in the studio
Kyle Sandilands and Jackie ‘O’ Henderson are concerned they could have contracted coronavirus, after interviewing Richard Wilkins’ son Christian last week.
Richard, 65, ‘briefly’ met with Rita Wilson backstage at her Sydney Opera House concert on March 7, before announcing he tested positive for COVID-19 on Sunday night.
The radio hosts interviewed Christian Wilkins on March 10, three days after Richard potentially contracted coronavirus from the American singer, but it is unknown whether he had yet come into contact with his son.

The conversation sparked after Jackie, 45, was breathing loudly on The Kyle and Jackie O Show, having eaten an ‘omelette with chilli’.
‘What’s that? Are you over there eating?’ Kyle, 48, asked.
He added: ‘I thought you were starting to corona out on me then for a second.’

‘Oh, like heavy breathing?’ Jackie asked, chuckling.
She went on to add: ‘If Christian Wilkins tests positive, you and I might have it.’
‘Because he came in last week,’ Kyle explained.
