'I hate him... I can’t stand him!' Kyle lashes out at radio rival Rove
For over a decade Kyle Sandilands has been feuding with fellow radio host Rove McManus.
And judging by his comments on the Kyle and Jackie O Show this morning, the shock jock isn’t prepared to let sleeping dogs lie.
In a completely unprompted outburst during a chat with Ricki-Lee Coulter, Kyle raged, “I hate Rove McManus… I can’t stand the c***.”
Oh my days!
“I don’t know what that’s got to do with anything,” he added unapologetically. “But yeah.”
The random dig occurred while Kyle was quizzing Ricki-Lee about whether or not she’d ever get back with her Young Divas bandmates, who reportedly split after a huge fall-out in 2008.
Ricki-Lee responded with a resounding "no", admitting she'd "rather be alone", but by that point, Kyle had already got sidetracked, thinking about his own rivalry with Rove.
Kyle’s previously revealed that the beef started back in 2003 when Rove slammed the solo album of his wife at the time, Tamara Jaber.
“When Tamara brought those songs out a few years ago and the newspapers started canning her and lying, saying I was the only person playing it... Rove jumped on the bandwagon and started to have a go,” he explained.
“So when he started sinking the boot in, I started hating him.”
However, Kyle reckons the pair drew a truce after Rove’s wife Belinda Emmett passed away and he apologised for his comments about Tamara.
“Then two weeks later he was an a**hole to me and Tamara on his TV show,” Kyle added.
“Everyone thinks he’s cookies and cream when he’s a little p****. He’s a little a**hole.”
But the feud was news to Rove when he was asked about it in 2011 by the Herald Sun.
“As I keep saying to people, for there to be a rivalry it has to go two ways and it's just from him,” he said. “I have no feelings for him either way.”
But this isn’t the first time Kyle has hit out at his rival, who co-hosts The Rove and Sam Show on 2DayFM with The Bachelorette’s Sam Frost.
Back in April, Kyle took a swipe at the show, claiming the ratings would suck because Rove’s comedy wouldn’t translate from TV to radio.
“They will blame that poor girl for the ratings so they will replace her,” he said at the time.
“Where they have gone wrong with Rove is he just doesn’t translate on radio? The problem is most of his humour is in his facial expression and you don’t see it.”
