Klemens explained that the The Chase Australia host is, “emotionally exhausted to say the least and needs this break.

“He is also determined to deal with these issues and is committed to getting back on track as soon as he can.

“He is looking forward to full health and hopefully being back in the studio in a couple of weeks.”

Klemens assured viewers The Chase will go on, with Channel Seven runnIng repeat episodes of the beloved game show over the course of the next week.

A father-of-three, Klemens called his client, “a devoted and loving father and cherished son and brother. He is fortunate to have wonderful support around him.”

We wish Andrew all the best!
