They say not to air your dirty laundry in public, but in this case, we’ll make an exception for a new prime time TV show.
That’s pretty much the premise for Network Ten’s new series Trial By Kyle, which is kicking off this week, and features radio host Kyle Sandilands hearing cases (well, mostly petty complaints) from everyday Australians and then passing down his verdict.
The series first debuted back in 2018 as part of Ten’s Pilot Week program and has now been brought back for a full season.
However, since Kyle has no kind of legal knowledge or experience, according to Ten “the only bar he’s ever passed is the one at his local pub”, The Bachelor winner and actually qualified lawyer Anna Heinrich is on-hand during the show to offer up legal advice and some occasional side-eye in Kyle’s direction.
Speaking on Mamamia’s daily entertainment podcast The Spill, qualified criminal lawyer Anna broke down exactly what’s real on the show and what’s not, answering all the allegations we had about the reality of this new show.
Listen to Anna Heinrich dish on Trial By Kyle on Mamamia’s daily entertainment podcast The Spill.
On what kind of cases we can expect to hear on Trial By Kyle:
“It’s very unpredictable,” Anna said on The Spill podcast. “All the cases are so different from one another, you’ve got drag queens fighting over stolen choreography and you’ve got a husband and wife dispute where the husband is suing his wife for stealing money and using it for Botox.
