Kyle Sandilands reveals his ‘feud’ with Glee star Jane Lynch – as the actress reveals she ‘had no idea’ they were even fighting
Jane Lynch has been involved in a feud with Kyle Sandilands for years – without even knowing it.
The Glee actress, 60, appeared KIIS FM’s Kyle And Jackie O Show on Tuesday to discuss her new documentary Meet The Chimps, but was caught off-guard when Kyle brought up their so-called rivalry.
The shock jock, 49, explained that during his days judging Australian Idol, he was regularly nominated by Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards for being the best TV villain.

Jane, who played the villainous gym teacher Sue Sylvester, was also nominated for the award on several occasions.
‘[Jane], would lose out here [in Australia] on the Nickelodeon Kid’s Choice Awards because I was on Idol at the same time as the ‘nasty judge’, and they’d always play you and I off against each other,’ Kyle explained.
‘And then I would win and I’d be like, ‘Oh, Jane’s livid! Lynch is crazed, she hates me for it!’ But you never would have even known,’ Kyle mused.

‘I had no idea. I forgive you for any horrible thoughts you’ve had about me,’ joked Jane.
‘No, I’ve loved everything you’ve ever done,’ Kyle assured her.
Bemused, Kyle’s co-host Jackie ‘O’ Henderson interjected: ‘I love that you won ‘the best villain’ [award] Kyle. But Jane was just acting a villain, whereas you are the villain!’
Tongue-in-cheek: ‘Yes you are, you are Australia’s villain. I’m actually a very nice person,’ Jane joked
