The shock jock reveals that she was told by producers to be “tough and hard” and felt “really uncomfortable” in eliminating contestants who were unable to be ladylike.

“I was telling the girls, ‘You are not going to be the next Australian Princess, bye!'” She recalled.

She added: “I don’t think they liked working with me on that show.”

Her co-host, Kyle Sandilands then asked her if they wanted her to act like Tyra Banks on America’s Next Top Model.

“I think they did, actually,” she responded.

“Tyra got to be there for the whole episode and mentor them sometimes, though. I just came in at the end to deliver the bad news!”
