Private jets, oversized dressing rooms, entourages and outrageous food and drink demands were all required in order for "King" Kyle Sandilands to join Australian Idol, a source spills to Woman's Day.
The spy reveals that the 51-year-old KIIS FM shock jock's rider rivals that of songstress Mariah Carey's - who once famously demanded her dressing room be filled with 100 doves and 20 kittens. "He flew around the country in a $4 million private plane with an entourage to audition contestants and his dressing room - which was bigger than the other judges' dressing rooms - was to be fully stocked with everything he wanted," they divulge, adding that the staff were "warned about his legendary temper and tantrums" if his demands weren't met.
"What Kyle wants, Kyle gets."
Talking to the media recently, Kyle confirmed his private jet demands and admitted to leaving his co-judges, crooner Harry Connick Jr, 55, US popstar Meghan Trainor, 29, and Aussie indie singer Amy Shark, 36, in his dust.
"I get the private jet and the others are all lining up on Jetstar, waiting for their apple and their tangerine cake or whatever it is they're handing out on those things," he laughed.
