Kyle Sandilands has claimed a celebrity presenter will be replacing his axed KIIS FM breakfast show, five months after it was taken off air.
The celebrity podcaster, 55, revealed on Sunday on his new show Kyle Sandilands Live that a very surprising veteran presenter is set to take over the now vacant slot once held by him and former co-host Jackie 'O' Henderson.
'I've got an announcement to make, a little bit of sneaky information I have got. Dr Chris Brown… No one has a bad opinion of him,' Sandilands revealed.
Sandilands finished by saying Dr Chris would be co-hosting the new breakfast show alongside current KIIS weekend presenter Amy Gerard.
However, KIIS FM denied Sandilands' claims, saying a replacement has not yet been signed.

'Incorrect. We haven’t signed him,' KIIS FM said in a statement to news.com.au.
'We're not commenting on any of the speculation. We'll let you know when we have something to share.'
In March, KIIS FM terminated the contracts of long-time presenters Kyle and Jackie O, following a massive on-air fallout.
Sandilands has since launched his own weekday morning podcast show.
Last week, his return to broadcasting hit another snag, with the shock jock's first week back on air ending in embarrassment after technical issues forced producers to scrap Friday's show.
In a video message posted to the broadcaster's app, executive producer Jaimee 'Mayo' Blazquez and newsreader Brooklyn Ross apologised to fans after the platform suffered a major technical meltdown.
'We were scared this day might come,' Ross admitted, revealing Sandilands was 'very stressed right now' as the problems unfolded behind the scenes.
