Radio host Jackie O Henderson has recalled a run-in that she and her ex-husband ‘Ugly Phil’ O’Neil had with The Castle actor Michael Caton, calling it “embarrassing”.
Jackie explained that O’Neil was a huge fan of Caton’s, and spotted him at the Australian People’s Choice Awards after-party in the late 90’s.
She said that O’Neil bought a bottle of red wine and offered it to the actor.
“We loved The Castle. At the after-party, Phil goes and buys a bottle of red wine and takes it over to Michael Caton,’ Jackie explained on the Kylie and Jackie O show today.
“He says, ‘Mate, I just love you and what you do, and I wanted to give you this bottle of wine.’ [Caton] said, ‘No thanks.’ So Phil just walked back with the bottle of wine.”
“I think he actually said worse than that, if I’m honest. A polite way of saying, ‘Go away,'” she said.
Jackie said that Phil returned looking dejected and told her, “Oh, wow… that was embarrassing.”

Depsite interviewing some of the biggest celebrities in the world, Jackie told listeners, “It’s really hard to go up to a celebrity that you love, because you’re nervous and you hope they’re going to be nice to you.
“You hear horror stories… they’re not all lovely.”
Jackie has been dishing the dirt on bad behaviour by celebs this week. Just yesterday, she told listeners that a famous Hollywood star once “farted” in her face.
“I’ve had it before, an actor farted in my face, and I’ve never gotten over it,” Jackie O admitted to Kyle Sandilands during Wednesday’s episode of The Kyle and Jackie O Show.
“Anthony Anderson – he’s this big American comedian who was in [2003 film] Kangaroo Jack, they were filming out here [in Australia],” she explained in reference to the star best known for his work in The Shield, black-ish and Law & Order.
“He came in for an interview, and he literally just, like, came over to me, turned his bum to my face, bent down, and let out a massive fart,” Jackie O added.
