Karl Stefanovic makes heartbreaking confession as he prepares to make his TV comeback

Karl Stefanovic has made a heartbreaking confession after being axed from the Today show in December. 

RELATED: ARE KARL AND WIFE JASMINE EXPECTING? 

The 44-year-old has discussed his mental health battle in a new interview with The Sydney Morning Herald.

He revealed he needed time to 'decompress' after the media surrounding his sacking had clearly taken its toll.

'For a while there, to be honest, I don't think I was okay,' Karl admitted.

There's just nothing to see in there Waleed. Move along pls.

Stefanovic also revealed that taking six months off television allowed him to recover and get more perspective. 

'It allowed me to think about life in a much clearer way and to know that when I did come back, I would be okay,' he said.

At the post-Logies brunch, Karl revealed to guests that he 'wasn't at his best' towards the end of his time at Today. 

'Towards the end of last year, I was cooked,' he said.

'[The sacking] wasn't a great surprise to me. In fact, it was a relief in many ways that I was taken off the Today show because I just wasn't at my best.’

'You can't be doing that show unless you're at the top of your game.'
