Jackie 'O' Henderson gives glimpse inside her 'dream' Italian holiday - featuring private boat rides and breathtaking mountain range scenery

Daily Mail​25-04-2025
Jackie 'O' Henderson has been living it up in style on her lavish Easter escape with her daughter in Italy, as construction gets underway on her mansion in Sydney.
The radio queen, 50, and her daughter Kitty, 14, are currently staying at the postcard-perfect five-star Passalacqua hotel in Bellagio, Lake Como.
She recently shared a gallery of breathtaking photos to social media which captured some of the highlights of her trip.
One black-and-white photo shows Jackie driving a small boat across the crystal clear lake, exuding confidence and style in a denim jacket with the sleeves rolled up.
In another heartwarming selfie, the mother-daughter duo showed off their close likeness by posing in matching sunglasses.
Surrounded by world famous mountain ranges and exquisite scenery, Jackie's home-away-from-home clearly offers the kind of peace her $10million radio salary can buy.

It comes after the lookalike duo indulged in gelato and sightseeing in San Gimignano, in the adjacent region of Tuscany earlier this week.
Selfies posted to social media showed Jackie and Kitty soaking up the European sunshine together.
'Best damn gelato in the world,' Jackie captioned one image of the two enjoying the frozen Italian treat.
'So beautiful,' she later captioned a short video of the terraced gardens at their five-star hotel, which include 16 fountains, 300-year-old cypress trees, and a swimming pool set against the magnificent Swiss Alp backdrop.
Jackie and her daughter seem to be enjoying strict mother-daughter time as they travel as a pair for the vacation, which they have taken for the Easter and Anzac Day break.
They are currently staying in the village of Moltrasio on Lake Como at Passalacqua, which was voted the world's best hotel in 2023 and 2024.
The structure was rebuilt in 1787 for Count Andrea Lucini-Passalacqua from an original property whose previous owners included Pope Innocent XI and composer Vincenzo Bellini.
Guests who have stayed in the lavish hotel include the likes of Napoleon Bonaparte, Winston Churchill and George Clooney.
Jackie's European getaway follows reports that Randwick Council has received complaints about the $5million rebuild of Jackie's 'dream' Sydney home.
The presenter has taken on the ambitious project that will see a complete transformation of an oceanfront Clovelly house she purchased at open auction in March 2023.
Two years after the KIIS FM star dropped $13.25million on the eastern suburbs pad, residents close to the building site are complaining about noise and disruptions.
Residents claim that demolition work on the site, located on a small cul-de-sac overlooking Gordon's Bay, has created 'horrendous' noise, according to news.com.au.
One resident complained to the publication about vehicles owned by tradies working on Jackie's home blocking road access and disregarding designated parking areas.
'I don't want to have to go to them every time I want to get out of my driveway,' the disgruntled neighbour said.
A tradie informed the publication that work on the site won't be completed until June 2026.
Meanwhile, the sight's foreman said that all the necessary work permits relating to the building of Jackie's huge three-storey abode have been approved.

How swimwear is taking a daring dive back to the 80s with thin gussets and sky-high cuts

Forget full briefs or bikini shorts, everywhere you look at the moment, from M&S to New Look and Primark, has hip-high cuts SWIMCREDIBLE How swimwear is taking a daring dive back to the 80s with thin gussets and sky-high cuts SWIMWEAR trends, like every other part of fashion, come and go in waves. And this year we seem to be revisiting the '80s with super-high-cut bikini lines sure to leave you needing a Hollywood wax. 5 Former Love Islander Maura Higgins shows off her svelte figure in a barely-there bikini with a high cut 5 Kim K unveiled her latest Skims collaboration featuring a super-high-cut animal-print one-piece Credit: Instagram/KimKardashian First made famous in that decade by supermodels such as Cindy Crawford, Elle Macpherson and Christy Turlington, wedgie- inducing swimwear is back. And this time round, it's not just for celebs and reality telly stars - the high street is pushing us mere mortals to tackle thin gussets, too. Forget full briefs or bikini shorts, everywhere you look at the moment, from M&S to New Look and Primark, has hip-high cuts and bum-cheek-exposing cossies. With Love Island back on our screens and the women scantily clad in swimwear every episode, we expected to see a resurgence of the V-cut gusset. And last week Kim Kardashian, 44, unveiled her latest Skims collaboration with Italian brand Roberto Cavalli, featuring a super-high-cut animal-print one-piece. Meanwhile, sister Kylie, 27, stepped out in a vintage Chanel swimsuit, with a sky-high cut, first worn by Claudia Schiffer in 1995. Just a few weeks ago Miami Swim Week — the pinnacle of all swimsuit catwalks — saw a host of high V cuts, with TikTok sensation Alix Earle, 24, strutting down the runway in a barely-there bikini. Model Iris Law, 24, recently wore a black high-cut swimsuit, and ­former Love Islanders Maura Higgins, 34 and Zara McDermott, 28, have been showing off their svelte figures in them, too. Gusset gauge Host of the reality show Maya Jama, 30, has also been spotted wearing a barely-there bikini while on holiday this year. Of course, these women all looked phenomenal, but for the rest of us enjoying a break on the Costa Del Sol or taking a dip at the local swimming pool, it's not an easy look to pull off. Alisha Lehmann shows off her bikini body as she models new swimwear range Aside from the obvious extremely bare bikini line you need to have, there's also the probability you'll spend all your holiday sorting out your wedgie, or even worse a flash of some flesh you definitely don't want strangers to see. Yes, we expect to see these flimsy cuts at Gen Z fave brands like Nasty Gal and River Island. But I was surprised to see M&S selling this type of bikini bottoms, as the brand is renowned for selling comfortable underwear, particularly big 'granny'-style pants. It seems there is no escaping it if our sensible shops are hopping on board. You have to wonder why. There is a huge appetite for '80s nostalgia currently, across music and fashion, and there are parallels between the economies of back then and now — both decades are characterised by economic uncertainty and fluctuating inflation rates. 5 Zara McDermott, 28, stuns in the trendy bikini which is difficult to pull off Credit: Instagram 5 TikTok sensation Alix Earle, 24, strutting down the runway in a barely-there bikini at Miami Swim Week Credit: Getty 5 The swimwear was first made famous by supermodels such as Cindy Crawford, pictured, Elle Macpherson and Christy Turlington Credit: B915 We know about the hemline index, but could the gusset gauge be a more accurate indicator of how consumers feel about the state of the economy? Whatever the reasons, there are, of course, aesthetic benefits to high-cut swimsuits — they give the illusion of longer legs and a smaller waist. But if you are going to wear it, you really do need to commit to the trend — booking in for that wax and giving yourself a body-confidence pep talk, because there really is nowhere to hide.

Ryanair say they've been forced to cancel 170 flights - affecting 30,000 passengers due to a French air traffic control strike on July 3 and 4. The airline says that as well as flights to and from France being cancelled, the strike will also affect all French overflights, with 'most disrupted passengers not even flying to/from France but just overflying French airspace en route to their destination (e.g., UK - Greece, Spain - Ireland, etc.).

It is not acceptable that overflights over French airspace en route to their destination are being cancelled/delayed as a result of yet another French ATC strike. It makes no sense and is abundantly unfair on EU passengers and families going on holidays.

These 2 splendid reforms would eliminate 90% of all ATC delays and cancellations, and protect EU passengers from these repeated and avoidable ATC disruptions due to yet another French ATC strike.'
