'We've been bumping the appointment [back] since October,' Kyle's manager Bruno Bouchet added. Kyle then warned his co-star to keep that information a secret from his partner Tegan: 'Shush! Don't tell my wife that!. 'It's very bad. I will have to have some time off, two to eight weeks, after the surgery depending on how I am.'. Kyle Sandilands has revealed the shock thing he didn't want his wife Tegan to know about the recent brain scan he had which revealed his aneurysm.

The top-rating KIIS FM host announced the shock news at the beginning of his breakfast show on Monday. 'On Friday, I was told by my medical team - which sounds like I'm already very sick, that I have a brain aneurysm. It requires immediate attention, brain surgery,' he said. 'My doctor said if I didn't get it checked, I would have died. A life of cocaine abuse and partying are not the way to go!'. He then cracked a joke about the show's lower ratings in Melbourne.

'If you just tuned in to us after all these years, lap it up. And if you're in Melbourne... you're coming to the party too late. You may get your wish. I may be dead.' he quipped. Co-host Jackie O Henderson said: 'Let's think positive.'. 'That doesn't work in real life,' Kyle responded. The presenter then explained his condition on air. The radio star made the bombshell admission on Monday that he has a brain aneurysm and requires immediate emergency brain surgery - and had been putting off the health check up for several months and didn't want his wife Tegan to know.

'I bumped the check-up for weeks! I had the appointment and I was like, "I'm not going, I'm not going".' Kyle began. 'It's not a blockage. It's like, imagine your blood vessel is the garden hose, and the hose is weak and it blisters out like a big bubble, like a puncture in it. It's like a bike tyre with a big bubble - that bubble's the aneurysm, so it's not blocked,' he said. 'It's expanded and if it bursts, (I will become) either a vegetable, in the wheelchair, or dead.'.

He revealed his doctor had banned him from doing cocaine, having sex, masturbating, heavy lifting and becoming stressed. Kyle then revealed the effect the sad news was having on his loved ones. His wife Tegan Kynaston, 39, who he welcomed son Otto with in 2022, 'bursts into tears' every time she sees him since they got the sad news, he revealed. Kyle was absent when the show returned on Tuesday last week, and Jackie O told listeners he had vomited on himself.

He returned on air on Wednesday and Thursday, but was away sick again on Friday. 'A brain aneurysm — also known as a cerebral aneurysm or intracranial aneurysm — is a bulge or ballooning in a blood vessel in the brain. An aneurysm often looks like a berry hanging on a stem. Experts think brain aneurysms form and grow because blood flowing through the blood vessel puts pressure on a weak area of the vessel wall. This can increase the size of the brain aneurysm. If the brain aneurysm leaks or ruptures, it causes bleeding in the brain, known as a hemorrhagic stroke.

Most often, a ruptured brain aneurysm occurs in the space between the brain and the thin tissues covering the brain. This type of hemorrhagic stroke is called a subarachnoid hemorrhage. Brain aneurysms are common. But most brain aneurysms aren't serious, especially if they're small. Most brain aneurysms don't rupture. They usually don't cause symptoms or cause health problems. In many cases, brain aneurysms are found during tests for other conditions.
