Iain Stables

Iain Phillip Stables (born 1971) is a New Zealand shock jock and former owner of the Ski FM radio network. Stables worked on ZM and various other radio stations across New Zealand, beginning his radio career on Radio Windy in Wellington at the age of 14. He has also appeared in several television roles including as the "bad boy" judge on NZ Idol Series 3 in 2006, and as a regular guest on Good Morning and Shock Treatment. In 2007, Stables won the award for Best Non-Breakfast Host or Hosts (Metropolitan) at the New Zealand Radio Awards.

In the 2000s, Stables was involved in a number of controversial on-air media stunts, several of which attracted complaints to the broadcasting authority, and some which led to legal issues. Stables has been the subject of investigations by police multiple times, including for impersonating a traffic safety manager and assaulting members of the public. He has been convicted and fined for impersonating an Interpol detective, and was banned from flying with Qantas airlines after inflating a life-jacket during a flight. In 2000, Stables was sued by April Ieremia for defamation after falsely claiming to be married to her.

Stables has been charged with assault several times since the early 2010s. In 2011, he faced multiple charges of assault after he was filmed in an altercation with a Jetstar employee. The charges were subsequently dropped. In 2012, Stables was acquitted after being accused of assaulting his ex-partner's parents, but found guilty of assaulting her brother. In 2025, Stables admitted to assaulting a security guard, and is expected to be sentenced in August. In an unrelated case, Stables is currently facing accusations of strangling and assaulting his ex-partner, and will stand trial in November.
