A Kyle & Jackie O show star has revealed they have started chemotherapy, just weeks after host Kyle Sandilands announced his brain aneurysm diagnosis.
Newsreader Brooklyn Ross, who has worked at KIIS FM for 10 years, shared the news live on air during Wednesday morning’s radio show.
Speaking with hosts Kyle, 53, and Jackie ‘O’ Henderson, 50, He explained he was undergoing chemotherapy to remove a scar he had on his back.
‘I had to start chemotherapy yesterday. It’s not for cancer though. It’s for a scar I have on my back. It’s getting bigger as the years go on,’ he said.
‘How did you get the scar?’ host Kyle asked.
Brooklyn explained: ‘There was no hot water in the shower so I went to get boiling water and slipped.’

He then explained that the doctor injects the scar with ‘chemotherapy liquid’.
It comes just weeks after Kyle revealed to listeners he had been diagnosed with a brain aneurysm.
Fans of the radio star have expressed their support and well wishes since his admission.
‘On Friday, I was told by my medical team – which sounds like I’m already very sick, that I have a brain aneurysm. It requires immediate attention, brain surgery,’ he said at the time.
‘My doctor said if I didn’t get it checked, I would have died. A life of cocaine abuse and partying are not the way to go!’
He then cracked a joke about the show’s lower ratings in Melbourne.
‘If you just tuned in to us after all these years, lap it up. And if you’re in Melbourne… you’re coming to the party too late. You may get your wish. I may be dead,’ he quipped.
Co-host Jackie O said: ‘Let’s think positive.’

‘That doesn’t work in real life,’ Kyle responded.
The presenter then explained his condition on air.
‘It’s not a blockage. It’s like, imagine your blood vessel is the garden hose, and the hose is weak and it blisters out like a big bubble, like a puncture in it.
‘It’s like a bike tyre with a big bubble – that bubble’s the aneurysm, so it’s not blocked.
‘It’s expanded and if it bursts, (I will become) either a vegetable, in the wheelchair, or dead.’
He revealed his doctor had banned him from doing cocaine, masturbating, heavy lifting and becoming stressed.
Kyle then revealed the effect the sad news was having on his loved ones.
His wife Tegan Kynaston, 39, who he welcomed son Otto with in 2022, ‘bursts into tears’ every time she sees him since they got the shock news, he revealed.
