When Kyle and Jackie O launched on KIIS 101.1 in Melbourne, Lachy Mansell rejoined the team in the new city as a producer and part of the show’s cast. After a year Lachy is stepping out of radio to become Head of Motorsport at One Raceway.
Many of you will have first met Lachy when he and partner Kiera won the reality TV show, and many fans, as a contestant of Beauty and the Geek in 2021. He was then the head of his own motorsports media company, and a trained journalist, with KIIS 1065 and Kyle and Jackie employing him as a Sydney producer after the show wrapped up.
Lachy also hosted a solo workdays program on Power FM Ballarat before being enticed back to KIIS.
Lachy said on LinkedIn:
“This announcement does mean I’ll be finishing up with the Kyle and Jackie O Show, and I want to thank them and the wider ARN crew for taking me on the radio journey. It’s been a fun time, I’ve learned a lot and been fortunate enough to work alongside some great people who I’ll continue to call friends.
I still have a few weeks left with KJ, finishing up on 6 June before starting my new job shortly afterwards. Looking forward to the next phase of my career, exciting times ahead!”
