Ben Fordham has responded after Kyle Sandilands called him “a dog” on his radio show.

Kyle Sandilands got into a heated exchange with his Kiis FM newsreader Brooklyn Ross after he tried to defend Ben on The Kyle and Jackie O Show.

Ben says he doesn’t care what Kyle says about him, but taking it out on his newsreader was a step too far.

“I know he can go on like a bit of a bully, but the idea that he’d then take it out on his newsreader Brooklyn Ross and suggest that there’d be no news today just because Brooklyn was sticking up for me I think is red hot.”

But Brooklyn tells Ben the truth is he’s too afraid of retribution to disagree with Kyle!

Brooklyn: “I’ve still got to say, I am on Kyle’s side because I don’t want to deal with this tomorrow morning!”

Ben: “Mate, I don’t blame you, the bloke’s mad!”
