People online were claiming Imogen was only with Kyle 'for the money' and other nasty comments.

"We did get the police onto it," Kyle revealed on-air. "It ended up being one of her best friends."

It turns out there were stories about Imogen from her childhood being leaked and she 'couldn't work out who it was', Kyle explained.

"They were trying to figure out together (Imogen and the best friend) who it was," the 46-year-old said.

But it turned out it was this apparent best friend.

"Then months later the cyber crime department at the police came back and said, 'This is the person who it is,' and it was the person who she was confiding in," Kyle revealed.

Kyle and Imogen never got to the bottom of why this so-called best friend did what they did as they 'shut down and disappeared'.

"Sometimes it comes from someone a lot closer than you would think," the shock jock admitted.
