Jackie ‘O’ Henderson has spoken out after the construction of her multimillion-dollar Eastern Suburbs mansion sparked anger from one of her neighbours.

Radio star Jackie ‘O’ Henderson has fired back after a neighbour labelled her “disgusting” amid the allegedly disruptive construction of her dream home in Clovelly.

Henderson began extensive renovations on her $13.25 million oceanfront property overlooking Gordon’s Bay in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs in early December.

While the project received council approval, some locals have voiced frustrations over the ongoing noise and disruption, with one disgruntled neighbour branding the 50-year-old star “disgusting” in a recent interview with news.com.au.

A neighbour named Lynn told the outlet, “They (Henderson’s tradesmen) have no consideration for the white lines that have been painted outside my house.”

When asked if she listened to Jackie O’s controversial breakfast show she co-hosts with Kyle Sandilands, Lynn replied, “God no. They’re disgusting.

“I can’t imagine what kind of person she is with all of her potty humour.”

Fresh from a luxury Italian holiday with her 14-year-old daughter Kitty, Jackie addressed the controversy live on-air alongside Sandilands.

“There’s always going to be one complainer,” she said.

“But the funny thing is that every neighbour has gone out of their way to say how great my builders are and how thoughtful and considerate they are.”

Jackie added that she had been unaware anyone on her street was unhappy, saying most feedback had been overwhelmingly positive.

Living in the same cul-de-sac as her best friend and manager Gemma O’Neill, Jackie said several neighbours had praised the construction team for being “so great”.

However, when a producer asked if she felt guilty about disrupting the suburb, Jackie admitted it wasn’t ideal.

It’s understood that part of the frustration stems from Henderson’s building team allegedly taking up one of the few available parking spots with their site caravan.

“It’s difficult when building in a big city and there’s limited parking,” she said.

“It’s really unfortunate, and I hate that I would ever be putting people out.

“But everyone is entitled to complain if they have an issue.”

Jackie also directly addressed the stinging “disgusting” comment, telling Kyle: “She did say that we are disgusting, you and I.”

Kyle responded with a laugh: “You can’t blame old people for thinking we’re disgusting. Even my mum’s dance teacher thinks we’re disgusting.”

The KIIS FM host snapped up her prized home at auction in March 2023, in one of Sydney’s most exclusive suburbs, where the median house price sits at $4.6 million (as at March 2025).

According to Randwick City Council’s Development Application report, Henderson sought approval for the “demolition of existing structures and construction of a 3-storey dwelling house with a double garage, in-ground swimming pool, ancillary and landscaping works”.

Jackie has kept fans in the loop, regularly posting updates of her dream home’s progress, designed by Madeleine Blanchfield Architects and built by Bill Clifton of Robert Plumb Build. Picture: Instagram

Despite rumours she was planning to build a lavish “wellness centre” on the property, Jackie clarified the truth on air.

“It’s not really a wellness centre,” she laughed. “It’s just a little area with a sauna- that’s it.”

Kyle replied: “Ah that is a wellness centre.”
