The revolving door of guest hosts following the end of The Kyle and Jackie O Show continues.
The revolving door of guest hosts on ARN Media’s KIIS FM Breakfast show is continuing, with radio veteran Bianca Dye announced as the latest fill-in co-host for The Kyle & Jackie O Show.
The announcement was made via Instagram, with Dye confirming she will join the breakfast program across both KIIS 1065 and KIIS 101.1 from Monday, May 18.
The move comes as KIIS FM continues its rotating line-up of guest presenters following the implosion of The Kyle and Jackie O Show.
Recent fill-ins have included Georgie Tunny, Abbie Chatfield and former producer Jaimee ‘Mayo’ Blazquez.

'Really bloody cool'
In the post, Dye reflected on returning to breakfast radio.
I’m heading to Sydney to fill in for a stint on The Kyle & Jackie O Show on KIIS breakfast in Melbourne & Sydney.. after 32 years in broadcasting - 14 of in breakfast radio - it feels really bloody cool to be back in a studio doing what I LOVE most - even if it is just keeping the seat warm for the next guest host..”

Dye also noted that the appearance marks her first time broadcasting on air in her hometown of Melbourne.
“What’s surreal is that, despite all these years in radio (almost 8 of those doing mornings & drivetime in Sydney at NOVA), I’ve actually never been on air in my hometown of Melbourne before!?
"So this one feels pretty special to me personally”

The veteran broadcaster also acknowledged the previous guest hosts who have joined the show in recent weeks.

Dye said she was looking forward to working alongside the existing KIIS FM breakfast team.
“I’m just looking forward to gettin on the tools again 🎤 🎧 having some fun with the hilarious Mike E,Brooklyn,Nat,Intern Pete & the whole fabulous team BTS who are all working their arses off at crazy hours of the day & under the circumstances I think - nailing it.. !"
She also encouraged listeners to tune in from 6am on Monday morning across Sydney and Melbourne.
The continued run of guest hosts comes as ARN navigates the next phase of its high-profile breakfast strategy across the KIIS network.
