Kyle and Jackie O reveal the surprising reason why road traffic controllers are so hot – as the staggering salary of Aussie lollipop ladies is exposed
An Australian traffic controller has exposed the real reason why lollipop ladies are known for being attractive.
KIIS FM’s Kyle Sandilands, 52, and Jackie ‘O’ Henderson, 48, invited a female traffic controller onto their show on Tuesday to reveal her roadwork secrets.
When quizzed on why lollipop ladies are ‘so hot’, she explained: ‘Because they are less likely to get yelled at by angry guys who are annoyed with the roadwork.’
‘If you’ve got good English, you’re also more likely because they can hear you clearly on the radio. So that, plus being hot, that’s how you get chosen,’ she later added.
The woman also admitted she was concerned about not being attractive enough for the gig, saying: ‘I was trained as [a traffic controller] and I was a little bit worried I would to get hired.’

Kyle then questioned whether Jackie would be attractive enough for the role following her recent weight loss.
‘100% They’d all be lining up to hire Jackie. No one could get mad, she’s way too beautiful,’ the woman enthused.
It comes after glamorous Aussie traffic controller Anjelica Langton spoke to Daily Mail Australia about what life is really like as an attractive lollipop lady working on the roads of Mullumbimby, in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales.

‘I get hit on everyday, people call out all types of things from their cars, they’re always whistling and honking their horns,’ Ms Langton said.
Sometimes drivers even pull over to ask if Ms Langton, 24, is single and if they can have her number.
Ms Langton said she finds humour in the situation and always has a ‘good laugh’ with others at work.

Meanwhile, earlier this year a glamorous female traffic controller revealed the eye-watering amount she earns in just one week while working at a construction site.
Paris Taylor, 21, shared a TikTok video detailing how she rakes in $680 for nine-and-a-half hours of work on Monday, $580 for eight-and-a-half hours on Tuesday and $780 for 10.5 hours on Wednesday and Thursday.
She wrapped up the week by earning $580 for eight-and-a-half hours of work on Friday.
The blonde bombshell claimed she made a staggering $3,400 for the week, but wrote under the video that not all traffic controllers earn so much.
She explained her extremely high rate is due to an enterprise agreement reached between her union and employer.
