CONSTITUTION Hill suffered another big drop in the markets after Nicky Henderson confirmed his blood test results were ‘not what we were hoping for’.

The undefeated superstar shocked his trainer with a dismal Kempton training session on Tuesday.

It was later confirmed he had significant mucus in his airways when Willie Mullins’ State Man turned to favoritism for the Champion Hurdle.

Henderson pinned his hopes on tomorrow’s possibilities to shed more light on how his horse is feeling.

But on Thursday he confirmed that recent blood tests had revealed bad news.

Henderson said in a statement: “The result of the blood test taken this morning goes a long way to explaining his disappointing performance at Kempton on Tuesday and confirms that he has a significant degree of inflammation.

“The figures themselves indicate that he is definitely ill and that we will have to repeat the test again on Monday in the hope that the situation improves.

‘We plan to re-examine him tomorrow morning, but it seems the blood test is a more conclusive barometer and what we need to focus on.

“This is probably not what we were hoping for, but at least it tells us exactly where we are.”

Constitution Hill scored a whopping 4.3 (100-30) on the Betfair Exchange.

Jackie ‘O’ Henderson turned heads on Wednesday when she arrived at Sydney Airport with her daughter Kitty, 13, to catch a flight to Melbourne.

The radio queen, 49, made sure all eyes were on her as she walked through the terminal in a multi-coloured crochet dress that showed off her dramatic weight loss.

The mother-of-one paired her ensemble with brown YSL sandals, Christian Dior sunglasses and a designer handbag.

Her blonde hair was styled in loose waves and she wore a full face of makeup.

Both Jackie and Kitty had huge grins, clearly excited about their interstate trip.

She was seen hugging her look-alike daughter as the couple prepared to board their flight.

Jackie and Kitty fly to Melbourne to watch the Matildas take on Uzbekistan in an Olympic qualifying tournament at Marvel Stadium on Wednesday evening.

The media star’s appearance comes after she left the KIIS FM studios on Tuesday after learning the station has the largest gender pay gap among Australian radio networks.

Jackie discussed the gender pay gap with co-host Kyle Sandilands, 52, who told her that KIIS FM was not performing well compared to their competitors.

‘Southern Cross Austereo has an outrageous 5.9% pay gap. At Nova and Smooth FM it is even worse: six percent. But unfortunately the number one spot is with KIIS FM,” he said.

She became upset when she heard the shocking news and asked some of her male and female colleagues if they were paid the same.

Series producer intern Pete Deppeler then told Jackie his salary and a female colleague revealed that she was only paid half of what Deppeler earned.

‘Are you joking? Why does Peter get so much money? I’m so angry about that, it makes my blood boil,” an angry Jackie snapped.

Jackie then said that female staff earned the same as their male colleagues and said the women staged a protest, shocking Kyle into walking out of the studio.

While Jackie O may have been upset about the apparent pay disparity in her workplace, she herself makes the same amount as her co-star Kyle – reportedly $10 million per year.

In November, the Sydney-based radio duo signed a record-breaking ten-year deal worth $200 million, keeping them on air until 2034 – with plans to expand their show to Melbourne.

JORDAN HENDERSON’S season hit a new low when he was dropped by Ajax.

The England star had a difficult first half of the season at Al-Ettifaq and failed to establish himself in Saudi Arabia.

He switched to Ajax in January and has since played four times for the club.

The 33-year-old Henderson was even captain in the 2-2 draw against NEC Nijmegen last week.

But for Ajax’s trip to AZ Alkmaar this afternoon, Henderson was dropped to the bench.

Manager John van’t Schip changed the formation for the match, from a back four to a three-man defense.

And Henderson was the midfielder who made way for the tactical adjustment.

The former Liverpool captain missed Thursday’s dramatic extra-time Conference League victory over Bodo/Glimt with a blow that he could still feel today.

Henderson sat on the bench alongside ex-Arsenal star Chuba Akpom and former Manchester City wonderkid Carlos Forbs.

Ajax is currently 1-0 behind AZ Alkmaar.

The goal came from Mark van Bommel’s 19-year-old son Ruben.

Henderson still needs to convince every fan at his new club, including legend Rafael van der Vaart.

He said: “Ajax have brought in players with zero quality. The club will now have to wait out the rest of the season.

“They brought in Jordan Henderson. All he does is pass wide or pass back.

“But no one will be happy about that.”

Jackie 'O' Henderson has undergone a dramatic weight loss transformation in the past year.

The radio titan chose to show off her new killer curves on Thursday when she visited Clovelly Beach in Sydney's eastern suburbs.

The 49-year-old looked fit in the seaside playground favored by influencers and former reality stars.

For her fun in the sun, Jackie wore a navy blue ensemble, which consisted of a low-cut bikini top with white trim that showed off her ample bust.

She completed the look with a modest skirt and wore a white knitted cardigan over it.

The petite blonde is accessorized with a pink bucket hat and black sandal-like flip-flops.

Jackie made sure all eyes were on her as she took off her cardigan, threw her headgear into the wind and stepped into the water for a refreshing dip.

She seemed to be enjoying her solo time as she paddled around in the ocean.

Jackie has lost a whopping 18kg in less than a year and recently revealed exactly how much she weighed before she decided to start her weight loss journey.

She made the confession on The Kyle And Jackie O Show after the radio program welcomed a caller who weighed 185 lbs.

Curious news anchor Brooklyn Ross turned to Jackie and asked her, “You know what the biggest thing is [you weighed] used to be?'

“The largest was 80,” she replied.

Jackie's confession comes after she once had to deny that Ozempic was behind her spectacular slimming.

Ozempic, an appetite suppressant previously used to treat type II diabetes, has seen an increase in prescriptions for obesity in recent years and is now used by many celebrities to maintain a slim figure.

Jackie has always maintained that she achieved her weight loss by participating in WW (Weight Watchers), for which she was an official ambassador.

But speculation revived after WW, led by CEO Sima Sistani, began embracing semaglutide drugs like Ozempic.

Reacting to the news about The Kyle and Jackie O Show, Jackie exclaimed, “Makes me feel like I was definitely on Ozempic!”

She jokingly added, “I was like a guinea pig in that experiment.”

News anchor Brooklyn Ross then asked Jackie if she was “annoyed” that she had to lose weight “the hard way” instead of just popping a semaglutide for a quick fix.

“I mean, they make a good point and I'm really impressed that they're moving with the times,” she said.

“You see so many people doing it and being successful, and for them it's not that hard.”

Jackie ‘O’ Henderson made sure all eyes were on her as she stepped out for her 49th birthday party on Saturday.

The radio queen, who turned 49 on January 31, kicked off celebrations by hosting a lavish boat party surrounded by a slew of celebrity guests and close family and friends on Sydney Harbour.

She was all smiles as she arrived at Circular Quay ahead of the super yacht Ghost 11’s departure and was joined by her daughter Kitty, 13.

Jackie showed off her very trim figure in a $595 Christopher Esber T-shirt that featured ‘crushed’ fabric and ripe bananas printed on the front.

She paired her look with a micro mini skirt of the same design, which retails at $495.

Accessorising with bright yellow sunglasses, Jackie also rocked nude strappy heels and a small white handbag over her shoulder.

The blonde beauty had her hair styled in a chic half ponytail, showing off her bold gold earrings.

Jackie’s daughter Kitty echoed her look in a satin yellow dress, while her hair was slicked back in a tight high ponytail.

Kyle Sandilands and his wife Tegan Kynaston lead the arrivals at the boat’s meetup point.

The 52-year-old radio shock jock, who co-hosts the Kyle and Jackie O show, looked boat party ready in a pale blue collared shirt that featured pink and yellow floral detailing.

He paired his look with navy shorts, black sneakers and sunglasses.

Meanwhile, Kyle’s wife Tegan looked stunning in a black, white and gold mini dress.

The mother-of-one showed off her ample cleavage with a very plunging neckline that ended just above her belly button while completing the outfit with a pair of chunky black heels.

Her hair was loosely curled in a soft wave and she accessorised with thick, black sunglasses and a subtle but elegant wristwatch.

Jackie was thrilled to see her radio co-host upon his arrival as Kyle threw his arms around her, sharing a warm embrace.

John Ibrahim and his partner Sarah Budge were also among the big names at the party.

The pair were seen chatting with Kyle, who appeared to be smoking a cigarette before boarding the boat and chatting onboard with other guests.

P.E Nation co-founder Pip Edwards was also at the party, wearing brown cargo pants and a loose fitted green, black and white top.

Jackie’s bestie Gemma O’Neill wowed in a figure-hugging black dress that featured red, yellow and turquoise patterns, as well and silver rings running down the side of her leg.

Her hair was styled in loose curls and a middle part, while she accessorised with transparent, green-tinted sunglasses. 

Jackie’s party has been the talk of the town for the past month. In January, she was forced to play the role of mediator when her radio colleagues began stressing out about whether they would be able to attend the birthday party.

The media personality revealed on The Kyle and Jackie O Show that tensions had surfaced as several of her co-workers were double-booked on the day of her bash.

‘You’re all invited to Jackie’s boat party. There’s a few people that you’re questioning if they’re locked in or not, they’re wishy-washy,’ co-host Kyle said at the time.

‘Can everybody just relax? Everyone has been really committed about it except for two people, our producer Pedro, who never wants to socialise, and Intern Pete, who has something else on,’ Jackie responded.

Jackie said the pair were worried about not being able to attend, which was causing some chaos in the studio.

The blonde beauty then reassured her two co-workers that while she would love them to attend there would be no hard feelings if they couldn’t.

‘It’s okay, there’s no pressure. It doesn’t matter if you’re there or not but you will be missed,’ she said.

‘We would love you both there but it’s totally fine if you’re not. Don’t feel bad or anything.’

The pair thanked Jackie for putting their minds at ease and promised her they would do their best to make it.

Jackie turned 49 in January and recently reflected on how she stays looking so youthful.

Speaking with Daily Mail Australia at Luke McLeod’s book launch for Everyday Enlightenment, being happy and positive has helped her look so young.

‘I’m a smoker of all things and I haven’t really looked after my body over the years,’ she revealed.

‘But I’ve always been a very, positive kind of person and generally happy. I couldn’t attribute [my youthful looks] to anything else, to be honest.’

She also revealed how meditation has helped her alleviate a lot of stress over the years. 

‘I think that meditation for sure gets you to a much calmer, joyful place in your life and that alleviates a lot of stress,’ Jackie said.

‘And as we know, stress is the number one factor for ageing and health problems in general. So I’m big believer in meditation.’

Jackie also said she is excited about turning 50 next year and is ‘grateful’ for what she’s achieved.

‘I’ve had a wonderful life and I really appreciate what I do have in my life. I’m grateful that I’ve lived 50 years and so I’m not afraid of it at all,’ she said.

‘I’m happy to embrace it as every decade brings something new.’

Jackie 'O' Henderson has revealed the one bizarre habit she has dropped since splitting from her ex-husband Lee Henderson.

The radio star, 49, who divorced the British-born photographer in 2018, revealed on Tuesday that she has changed the way she pronounces 'yogurt'.

Her KIIS FM co-host Kyle Sandilands pointed out that Jackie previously pronounced the word with an English accent.

“Remember when you used to say it as 'yogurt'?” the 52-year-old teased during Kyle and Jackie O's show.

'Since [Lee and I] split, I don't say it like that anymore,” said the Queensland-born radio queen.

“You were really mesmerized there somehow,” Kyle joked about her wedding to Lee.

Earlier this month, Jackie opened up about the struggles she's faced with loneliness since splitting from Lee.

Speaking to fans at the launch of Luke McLeod's book Everyday Enlightenment, the radio titan admitted she is 'desperate' for love and companionship.

She explained that she had lunch with Luke last year when they brought up the subject of her love life and how she felt like she was “missing something.”

'I just really want to find someone. I can't find it and I'm a little lost right now,” she recalled telling Luke.

When Luke asked why she was so desperate to be in a relationship, Jackie said she couldn't put her finger on it, but it felt like “a piece of her was missing.”

'I have a lot of love to give, or I want that affection, that company. It just feels like something is missing in my life,” she added.

Jackie went on to tell her fans that Luke gave her some advice at that moment that “changed my life.”

He said she gave off too much “desperate energy,” and if she really wanted to attract love into her life, she needed to be grateful for what she already has.

“I said to him, 'How do I change what I want and need?' I feel like I need that in my life and I really want that. I can't just turn that off,” she admitted.

Still, Jackie said she tried Luke's method and began spending 15 minutes a day thinking about the things she was already grateful for in her life.

'NNow I'm in a place where I've almost gone the other way. I“I'm so happy that I'm single and not looking for someone because I'm genuinely happy with my life,” she said.

She revealed that after a year of meditating on what makes her happy now, she finds it much easier to “be present” rather than “think about what's missing in my life.”

Jackie has been married twice in the past, with her first husband being DJ 'Ugly' Phil O'Neil in the late '90s.

She was married to ex Lee from 2003 to 2018 and the couple co-parented their only daughter, Kitty.

Jackie 'O' Henderson turned heads in a striking yellow dress as she sailed through Sydney Harbor among a host of other stars.

Friday has the Kyle and Jackie O radio co-host, 49, rocked a bright yellow flared mini dress by Alexis, which retails for around $900, as she celebrated SailGP's fifth visit to Sydney ahead of the KPMG Australia Sail Grand Prix.

The blonde wore her hair in a ponytail for the windy weather and accessorized with gold and yellow bangles, as well as a neutral manicure and matching pedicure.

“I smoke all kinds of things and haven't really taken care of my body for the past few years,” she revealed.

'But I've always been a very positive person and generally happy. I couldn't attribute it [my youthful looks] with something else, to be honest.'

Other stars who joined Jackie on the yacht included Married At First Sight's golden couple, Evelyn Ellis and Duncan James.
