Kyle Sandilands makes sad health confession live on-air

Controversial radio host Kyle Sandilands made a tough personal confession during the latest episode of his radio show.

Kyle Sandilands made a sad confession about his health live on his radio show on Wednesday morning.

Sandilands has struggled with maintaining a healthy lifestyle in recent years, and earlier this year, he suffered from a shock brain aneurysm diagnosis.

While chatting with his co-star Jackie O’ Henderson on Wednesday, Sandilands admitted that he’s findng physical activities harder recently after gaining weight.

He revealed that he’s put on 12kg since last year, now hitting 138kg on the scales.

“I’m 138, I thought I was massive. I’ve been a bit … I don’t know whether ‘depressed’ is the word? Ever since this aneurysm thing came up a year ago,” said the controversial star.

“I brushed it off inside. My wife is on me about it, asking if I would like to come for a walk with her and [their son] Otto. I would like to, but just too fat and lazy to go!”

Sandilands went on to confess that despite putting on weight he’s not bothered to cut out junk food and change his diet.

“I also use an opportunity to eat a packet of chicken and biscuits! I know I’m doing myself in,” he said before adding that he went under a series of tests this week to gauge how good his health is.

“I did all these scans yesterday, haven’t got the results yet. If I’m good, then I will put together a club, ‘Kyle’s Big Fatso Club’, where I want others to join me in my slow march to healthiness. Who is with me?” he said.

It comes after Sandilands was slammed by listeners after he stormed off his radio show during an unhinged and offensive rant.

Sandilands threw a fit when his show with Jackie ‘O’ Henderson, which broadcasts in Sydney and Melbourne, got heavily censored discussing a while horrific murder case on-air.

Sandilands was sharing his thoughts on former Beauty and the Geek star Tamika Chesser, who is alleged to have killed and decapitated her boyfriend.

Returning to the show the day after they had faced heavy on-air censoring, Sandilands lashed out, claiming that rules for radio presenters reporting on crimes are too strict.

“OK, so the show got dumped in the middle of a planned discussion that I had already discussed with the legal team about things that have been happening on the show,” he said.

“Why was that dumped, when I was using all the correct lingo?”

Sandilands was then told that it was The Kyle & Jackie O Show director Bruno Bouchet who had made the call to censor the show and momentarily take it off air.

“Some laws are just so dumb and stupid, and I’m not playing ball,” he said.

“Until this show runs the way I intend it to be run, I will not be back on the air at all, in any way, shape or form.

“I’m not going to waste my life here walking on eggshells around other people’s ideas of what I should be doing.

“I do what I want to do and if you don’t like it, tough s***. That’s the way it is with me.”

Sandilands then remarked that he planned to go on a hunt for the show’s director with “dogs and a baseball bat”.
