Jackie 'O' Henderson reveals she sent two UberEats drivers on a car chase

Jackie ‘O’ Henderson was so desperate to fast-track her UberEats deliveries she pitted two drivers against one another, leading to a car chase around Woollahra.

The radio presenter, 46, said the incident almost led to a ‘punch up’ between the delivery guys after she offered one driver a $20 tip to handle two separate orders.

The UberEats app doesn’t let users assign drivers to multiple orders, meaning if you order from more than one venue, you will have separate drivers making deliveries.

But Jackie didn’t want multiple delivery drivers coming to her house, so offered one a generous tip to handle both orders. 

‘I almost got two Uber guys into a punch up. I did the wrong thing,’ she explained on The Kyle and Jackie O Show on Monday. 

She recounted how she’d ordered food for herself then realised her 10-year-old daughter, Kitty, wanted a Frappuccino from Starbucks.

Whoops! Jackie recounted how she’d ordered food for herself then realised her 10-year-old daughter, Kitty, wanted a Frappuccino from Starbucks. Instead of waiting for a second delivery driver, she offered the man assigned to the first delivery a $20 tip to collect the iced coffee

Instead of waiting for a second delivery driver, she offered the man assigned to the first delivery a $20 tip to collect the iced coffee.   

But chaos ensued when both drivers tried to collect the order at the same time.

‘Just as he got there [to Starbucks] this guy [the assigned driver] had collected the Frappuccino. Apparently, the whole trip home the other driver was leaning out and trying to steal the package,’ Jackie said.

Miscommunication: Chaos ensued when both drivers tried to collect the order at the same time. ‘They got here and were about to punch on. I just closed the door,’ Jackie said

‘This delivery guy who was doing the right thing had no idea why this guy was trying to steal a delivery.

‘They got here and were about to punch on. I just closed the door.’

Jackie said she’d learned her lesson and wouldn’t be trying anything clever with the UberEats app in the future.

On a mission: It comes after Jackie underwent a dramatic slimdown on WW, formerly known as Weight Watchers. After her health got out of control during the pandemic’s lockdowns

Jackie recently slimmed down after becoming an ambassador for WW, formerly known as Weight Watchers. 

Before embarking on the weight-loss program, she was spending up to $300 per week on UberEats. 

‘I stopped wanting to leave the house and was avoiding social outings because I just didn’t feel well, motivated or confident anymore,’ she said in June.

‘I was never cooking for myself; UberEats was my best friend. It was expensive and a really unhealthy habit, which made me feel so bad about myself.’ 

Shape: Back in November, Jackie revealed she wanted to get back into shape while interviewing motivational speaker Gary Vee on The Kyle and Jackie O Show

Jackie has been open about her struggle to lose weight during the Covid pandemic.

In November, she revealed she wanted to get back into shape while interviewing motivational speaker Gary Vee on The Kyle and Jackie O Show.

‘I did what you said during lockdown and [embraced my weight] but now I’m at the other end and you need to help me lose this weight,’ she said.

Embarrassed: The Channel 10 star said in March she was so self-conscious she wouldn’t let her 10-year-old daughter, Kitty, see her naked
