Jackie O flirts outrageously with Shaquille O’Neal during a live radio interview as she calls him ‘baby’ and says he’s her ‘favorite guest ever’
She has been happily single since her split from ex-husband Lee Henderson in 2018.
But that didn’t stop radio host Jackie ‘O’ Henderson from enjoying a flirty encounter with American basketball legend Shaquille ‘Shaq’ O’Neal on Wednesday.
Shaq, 50, who is in Melbourne ahead of his Australian speaking tour, spoke to singleton Jackie, 47, during an interview on The Kyle and Jackie O Show.

The sportsman went out of his way to shower the mother of one with compliments, while also taking a few sly digs at her co-host Kyle Sandilands.
‘Is that the lovely Jackie O?’ he said at the beginning of the Zoom interview, peering through the camera at a blushing Jackie.
‘It is!’ she giggled, before Shaq replied: ‘Jackie O is worldwide.’

‘I love you! My favorite guest ever,’ Jackie gushed.
Kyle then tried to steer the conversation towards the topic of Shaq’s speaking tour, but the NBA star quickly shut him down.
‘I don’t want to talk to you, Kyle. I only want to talk to Jackie O,’ he said.

Shaq continued to serenade Jackie with words of adoration, while jokingly telling Kyle he wanted to steal his job.
‘Kyle, when I move to Sydney, it’s going to be the Shaq and Jackie O Show,’ he teased, adding: ‘When I come to the studio, I’m going to hug Jackie O, and I’m just going to push you and I’m just going to push you out of your seat.’
Kyle played along, asking him: ‘Am I intimidating you there, Shaq?’

‘I’m not even looking at you, Kyle,’ the athlete shot back.
‘I’m looking at Jackie O. Put me on Jackie O. I don’t wanna look at Santa Claus,’ he added.
The conversation ended with Shaq complimenting Jackie on her ponytail, before telling the blonde he ‘loves her’.
Jackie hasn’t publicly dated anyone since announcing her split from ex-husband Lee Henderson (right) in October 2018. (The exes are pictured with their daughter Kitty)
‘Love you too, baby!’ cooed Jackie as the call ended.
The TV and radio personality has not publicly dated anyone since her split from ex-husband Lee more than three years ago.
The former couple, who share custody of their 11-year-old daughter Kitty, announced their split in October 2018.
‘Lee and I decided to separate,’ she said on The Kyle and Jackie O Show at the time.
It’s not a decision we took lightly at all. We have been so lucky that our separation has been extremely amicable. And I know everyone says that, but we have actually remained really good friends throughout all this,’ she added.
