Covid: Jackie O says ex-husband had an adverse reaction to Pfizer jab 

Radio presenter Jackie ‘O’ Henderson has claimed her ex-husband Lee suffered an adverse reaction to his second Pfizer vaccine.

She said on Friday’s Kyle and Jackie O Show that Lee had experienced the same complication as Seven reporter Denham Hitchcock, who was hospitalised last month with pericarditis – a rare condition when the sac-like tissue surrounding the heart becomes inflamed.

Lee, a photographer from England, has not commented on his condition, but Jackie told NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian he’d been hospitalised.

The former couple, who share 10-year-old daughter Kitty, amicably separated in late 2018 and are believed to have recently finalised their divorce.

Lee is not believed to have any underlying health conditions. He is a martial arts enthusiast who is known to keep fit and active. 

Daily Mail Australia has contacted Jackie for further comment and clarification.

Jackie said it was ‘up to [Lee] to report’ his adverse reaction to the Covid vaccine after being hospitalised because the hospital doesn’t automatically do it.

Ms Berejiklian wasn’t aware of Lee’s condition but said health authorities do put out a statement whenever someone has an adverse reaction to the jab.

More to come.
