“It was a joke and it was a hugely bad decision, poor taste. I didn’t plan that joke … I was just spit-balling live here. I didn’t realise the gravity of it and it really upset a lot of people. Even friends of mine were like, ‘Bro, how could you say something so dumb like that?’

“We’ve all made mistakes in our life and this is just one of the many that I’ve made,” Kyle noted on air today. “You can add it to the list.”

The radio personality and his girlfriend Imogen Anthony have called off their annual Halloween bash this year.
While the event wasn't officially announced, Imogen, 28, had previously taken to her Instagram profile to share that she was excited for the upcoming event, posting a series of throwback snaps of her previous outfits.
The couple's infamous parties are attended by some of Sydney's entertainment stars.
Last year's guests included Kings Cross identity John Ibrahim, DJ Havana Brown, MAFS' Dean Wells and Ryan Gallagher, as well as reality stars from Love Island Australia.
