Jackie ‘O’ Henderson made a bizarre confession during her KIIS FM radio show on Tuesday morning.
The 50-year-old Kyle & Jackie O radio star revealed she recently asked ChatGPT for advice while she was ‘sobbing in the bath’.
‘I was lying in the bath crying and I asked ChatGPT for advice and the advice she gave me was so beautiful,’ Jackie told her co-host Kyle Sandilands.
‘It was really empowering – about knowing your worth and what you deserve.
‘I was sobbing in the bath and started responding to ChatGPT and telling her she is such a great friend to me and she would respond with even nicer things.
‘And then I thought my best friend is a robot.’

Her stunned co-host Kyle admitted: ‘Twice in a year you shocked me. First with the pills [confession] and now this!’
Jackie’s confession comes after she spoke about her years-long battle with drug and alcohol addiction for the first time in her memoir, The Whole Truth, which was released last year.
She told how she spent 28 days in the famous rehab clinic, The Betty Ford Center, in November 2022 after struggling with addiction during the Covid lockdown.
In a candid extract, Jackie revealed that at the height of her addiction, she took around 10-12 Stilnox/Ambien sleeping pills and 24 Panadeine Forte painkillers a day.
In her memoir, Jackie told how she spiralled into a deep addiction following the 2018 breakdown of her marriage to UK photographer Lee and again during Covid.
But her struggles first began more than 15 years ago, when she was prescribed a strong opioid painkiller for endometriosis – a disease in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus, causing severe pain.
‘I got prescribed that and I found myself at the time taking it more than I needed and I recognised that this might be a bit of a problem, so I stopped at the time,’ she said.
However, Jackie then went back to the medication after her turbulent split from Lee, who she shares her daughter Kitty, 13, with.

‘I went back to it as a way to kind of go to some happy please, and it was a way of escaping and it was so the wrong thing to do,’ she confessed.
Jackie said she started taking a few codeine ‘here and there’ and one Stilnox at night with a glass of wine, which she described as a ‘blackout’ situation.
‘You can still be awake and have no idea what’s going on,’ Jackie shared.
‘It’s like you’re kind of functioning but you have no memory.’
What really ‘kickstarted’ Jackie’s harrowing addiction was isolating at home during the Covid-19 pandemic, when she said she was ‘struggling’ and felt ‘so sad’.
‘The dosage started to creep up more and more and it got extreme and I was averaging about 24 Panadeine Forte a day and then I was averaging about 10 to 12 Stilnox,’ she shared.
She kept her addiction battle a secret from her loved ones, saying she had long Covid when she took an extended absence from work in November 2022 to check into The Betty Ford Clinic in California.
Apologising to her listeners, she tearfully admitted she ‘lied’ by ‘omission’ when she publicly shared on her radio show that she was battling long Covid at the time.
‘I want to apologise to our listeners and everyone in my life where I haven’t sort of been forthcoming with this, I just needed to concentrate on that part first, that recovery for the first year particularly,’ she said.
