The prank saw Jackie calling two Chinese takeaway stores, placing an order, then putting the restaurants on the same line as each other and watching chaos unfold.

One listener, Erin Chew, has even started a Change.org petition asking the pair to apologise for the "racially motivated" prank.

"The purpose [of the segment] was pretty much about confusing Chinese takeaway stores when ordering on the phone. Their main motivation was to humiliate hard working mum and dad businesses for the sake of improving their ratings at the expense of a few cheap laughs and jokes about being Chinese," Chew wrote.

"As a mark of normal human decency, we are seeking a formal apology to be made on the air and to the Chinese takeaway stores by both Kyle and Jackie O.

"Secondly to ensure the Wong Number segment is canned for good. I think for these hosts to lose face will hopefully teach them a lesson that racially motivated jokes such as these are not acceptable."

The petition has since amassed over 1,400 signatures.

A spokesperson for the Kyle and Jackie O show has since responded to Chew's claims.

"All our calls are recorded and permission granted by the takeaway or service providers who are happy to have the calls aired," the network said in a statement to Chew, which she posted online.

"We also offer the shops payment for the order that we've given."
