Blazquez, better known as \u201cProducer Mayo\u201d on The Kyle and Jackie O Show<\/a>, took to social media<\/a> to announce her new role and gave a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes makings of Sandilands\u2019 new show. <\/p>\n

\u201cExcited to share that I have stepped into the role of executive producer for\u00a0@kylesandilandslive,\u201d Blazquez captioned a photo of her and Sandilands standing arm-in-arm. <\/p>\n

\u201cI have loved working with Kyle for the past nine years and looking forward to continue working with him on this new venture!\u201d<\/p>\n

She signed off by looking ahead to the August 10 launch date of Kyle Sandilands Live. <\/p>\n

Friends and colleagues jumped to the comment section to congratulate Blazquez on the new gig. <\/p>\n

\u201cNot an average girl anymore Mayo!\u201d KIIS FM newsreader Brooklyn Ross<\/a> wrote. <\/p>\n

Like Blazquez, Ross was a prominent fixture on The Kyle\u00a0&\u00a0Jackie O Show\u00a0before its demise. <\/p>\n

He confirmed his future remains at the radio station and he will not be jumping ship to Sandilands\u2019 new project. <\/p>\n

Another said: \u201cHell yes mayo!! so glad he\u2019s getting majority of the old team back together again cannot freaking wait!! <\/p>\n

Blazquez left KIIS FM to welcome her second child on February 13, just one week before the now infamous on-air clash between him and Jackie \u2018O\u2019 Henderson on February 20. <\/p>\n

The producer welcomed a baby girl on February 24 and returned to social media on March 5 with a lengthy statement<\/a> saying she was \u201cgutted\u201d over the breakdown between Sandilands, Henderson and the future of the program. <\/p>\n

\u201cI had always dreamt of working on this show, so having had the opportunity to produce for Kyle & Jackie O for the past 9 years has been an absolute privilege,\u201d she wrote at the time.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe weren\u2019t just a show but we were a family so to see it end like this is heartbreaking.\u201d <\/p>\n

She thanked both Sandilands and Henderson saying she hoped to work with them again in the future. It seems a least half that wish came true. <\/p>\n

Back in June, when Sandilands announced he had a new show in the works, he said he\u2019d \u201calready scooped up those who got made redundant\u201d amid the fallout from the show.<\/p>\n

\u201cI probably did [rehire staff] out of guilt but also because I like my crew and I want to make sure they\u2019re okay,\u201d he told \u00a0Game Changers\u00a0Radio<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\u201cYou know, someone\u2019s engaged, someone\u2019s pregnant. Everyone\u2019s got their own life going on.\u201d <\/p>\n

In her Instagram post, Blazquez pulled back the curtain on what the Kyle Sandilands Live studio looked like. <\/p>\n

The walls were decked out in \u201cKing Kyle\u201d artwork and she shared several images of Kyle Sandilands Live merchandise and branding. <\/p>\n

In mid-July, Sandilands\u2019\u00a0longtime manager and best mate<\/a>\u00a0Bruno Bouchet confirmed all the details around Kyle Sandilands Live. <\/p>\n

Appearing on the\u00a0Game Changers Radio<\/a>\u00a0podcast, Bouchet said\u00a0the show\u00a0would launch on Monday, August 10 via Sandilands\u2019 upcoming app.<\/p>\n

\u201cInstead of taking traditional calls like you would through mobiles and landlines, it\u2019s all video calls and I think it\u2019s going to be a fair bit of fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bouchet confirmed that like a standard\u00a0radio show<\/a>, the show would also include music and a newsreader. A subscription would cost $99 annually, with no monthly option available at launch.<\/p>\n

It will come after an already announced docuseries called\u00a0At Home with Kyle, which Bouchet said would launch its first of four episodes in late July. <\/p>\n

Bouchet also teased that Sandilands would have a female newsreader but remained tight-lipped on exactly who that would be. <\/p>\n

\u201cI think the chemistry is just off the charts between the two of them,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

He said Sandilands was also keen to address \u201ceverything that has happened since February 20\u2033, the date of his explosive on-air disagreement with former co-host\u00a0 Henderson<\/a>\u00a0that blew up\u00a0The Kyle and Jackie O Show<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sandilands eventually settled with his previous employer ARN for $12 million over the termination of his reported $100 million contract.<\/p>\n

Henderson also\u00a0launched a lawsuit against her former employer claiming compensation of at least $82.25 million<\/a>\u00a0and alleging that her termination was against the Fair Work Act.<\/p>\n

It was revealed she will still proceed with the lawsuit, despite her former co-host settling.<\/p>\n
