Jackie ‘O’ Henderson has left Australia for a tropical getaway after her Channel Seven side project Stranded on Honeymoon Island failed to connect with viewers.

Jackie ‘O’ Henderson has left Australia for an overseas getaway after her Channel Seven reality TV show Stranded on Honeymoon Island flopped spectacularly.

The radio star popped up in Fiji on Thursday, where Instagram footage showed the 50-year-old enjoying the seaside escape on a catamaran.

Jackie O could seen on the the boat as crystal-clear waters and palm trees swayed around her to the tune of Empty by Ray LaMontagne.

She later relaxed poolside at the Kokomo Private Island Resort, with a picturesque make-up-free snap showing the star in a stunning one-piece.

It’s understood a five-night stay at the luxury Kokomo Private Island Resort, including all meals and airport transfers, starts from a hefty $16,335 per person.

Jackie O’s South Pacific island getaway comes after she spent time with family and friends at a waterside home in NSW’s Scotland Island recently.

Her escape from work coincides with Seven spending a whopping $15 million on Stranded on Honeymoon Island, which Jackie narrates.

The show follows a fresh batch of singles matched by relationship experts and dropped off on a remote island in their wedding attire.

It combines the traditional drama elements of Channel Nine’s Married At First Sight with the wild challenges seen on Survivor Australia.

Jackie’s narration was expected to “bring an added layer of warmth and humour, making the series even more irresistible,” according to a Channel Seven spokesperson.

However, despite the mammoth investment and radio talent, the reality dating show reportedly lost more than 160,000 viewers after its premiere.

It clocked 539,000 viewers on June 27, only for that figure to take a huge nosedive the following evening, recording 376,000 viewers.

The Seven Network then pushed the embattled series back to a later time before removing it from its Monday roster entirely.

The network now airs Stranded on Honeymoon Island twice a week, back-to-back during a “midweek graveyard slot”, according to a TV insider who told Daily Mail Australia Seven entirely “missed the mark.”

“They invested so much into making this show a hit,” the insider said.

“The content was raw and authentic, especially during those camp cove MAFS dinner party-style segments—but somehow they missed the mark.”

An ex-crew member also told the publication the show “had potential” but needed “tighter editing, stronger storytelling, and a network that actually believed in it,” adding investing a lot of money doesn’t guarantee a TV hit.

Stranded on Honeymoon Island was originally scheduled to premiere in mid-2024, with its year-long delay reportedly frustrating some of the cast, who were contractually required to refrain from posting on social media.

One male cast member even proposed to his real-life girlfriend while waiting for the show to air.

The show is not Australia made, first becoming a ratings success in Belgium before being adapted in other countries including Germany, Portugal, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, and the UK.
