has told The Age.<\/a><\/p>\n\u201cSo I\u2019ve told Channel Seven this morning, just prior to speaking to you, that I\u2019m standing down from Idol for the good of the brand to continue,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
It follows from Sandilands radio show with Jackie O imploding and leading to court action.<\/p>\n
Sandilands was part of the show\u2019s relaunch in 2023, and has featured alongside Marcia Hines and Amy Shark.<\/p>\n
The network had previously indicated it would stand by Sandilands amid chatter of boycott campaigns.<\/p>\n
The bombshell falls late in the Idol schedule given last year\u2019s Top 30 was locked down by mid October.<\/p>\n
