Last month Kyle, 48, addressed rumours that he could be appearing on the show as a relationship expert.
It came after fans called for him to replace John Aiken on the show.
Speaking on his KIIS FM radio show, Kyle confirmed that producers approached his long-time friend John Ibrahim to see if he was interested in taking on the role.
Showrunners reportedly asked the former Kings Cross identity if he thought the radio star was committed to rival network Ten and whether he was would be interested in the show.

Filling his co-host Jackie ‘O’ Henderson in on a recent call he had with John, Kyle explained: ‘John Ibrahim rings me up and goes, ”Hey! I see in the paper that MAFS want you to go on that show and be the new relationship expert”.’
‘No one’s actually asked me anything, don’t worry about it,’ Kyle said he responded to John.
Kyle initially laughed off the idea, saying he was in no position to be giving out expert relationship advice.

‘Me a relationship expert? What sort of expertise have I got except a disastrous ones,’ Kyle said with a laugh.
The Trial By Kyle judge went on to confirm he wasn’t committed to any television networks, and should the right offer be made he would consider it.
‘Well look, I’m open to talking about it but you’ll have to be willing to pay a lot of money and I’m going to be running this whole show,’ Kyle said.

Kyle admitted while he may have a history of disastrous relationships and no expert qualifications – he would use his years of ‘experience’ as advice.
The radio star was previously married to singer Tamara Jaber in 2008-2010. He then dated model Imogen Anthony for seven years, before they called it quits in 2019.
He is now happy in love with his new flame Tegan Kynaston after going public late last year.
