Broadcast of Lauren Phillips and Jase Hawkins’ radio return revealed after their KIIS FM breakfast show was axed – as the duo prepare to battle old work friends Kyle and Jackie O

Lauren Phillips and Jase Hawkins have announced they will return to the airwaves in Melbourne next Friday.

The popular duo made the dramatic announcement in early February that they would be launching a new breakfast show on Nova’s 100 FM, after their program was axed by KIIS FM last year to make way for Kyle Sandilands and Jackie ‘O’ Henderson.

“No one is more excited to be back together and back on the air than the two of us. We are counting down the minutes until next Friday,” Lauren said in a statement on Friday.

“We have plenty of stories to tell.”

The new radio program is broadcast every weekday from 6:00 am to 9:00 am.

The highly rated team replaces the morning show of Ben Harvey, Liam Stapleton and Belle Jackson.

Jase and Lauren recorded their last KIIS FM show on December 1.

In November, Sydney-based radio duo Kyle and Jackie ‘O’ signed a record-breaking 10-year, $200 million deal that will keep them on air until 2034.

At the time, an ARN spokesperson confirmed to Daily Mail Australia that the deal for the Sydney duo meant their work friends Jase and Lauren were unemployed.

Jase and Lauren had their first show together in 2021, and the response was overwhelmingly positive.

Nova 100’s current breakfast team, Ben, Liam & Belle, will host a brand new national show, Late Drive, airing weekdays from 6pm to 8pm.
