Kyle Sandilands has revealed the things he can no longer do after being diagnosed with a brain aneurysm.
The radio star, 53, told his co-host Jackie O Henderson the lifestyle changes he will need to make as he prepares to undergo emergency brain surgery.
‘They said no cocaine which was devastating,’ Kyle began.
He also revealed he isn’t allowed to have ‘sex, masturbate, lift anything and stress.’
‘My life has got a lot better. I don’t have to do anything at home,’ he jokingly added, before revealing his wife Tegan has been emotional since his diagnosis.
Kyle told listeners about his shock health diagnosis on Monday and revealed he will be forced to undergo emergency brain surgery.

‘On Friday, I was told by my medical team – which sounds like I’m already very sick, to have a medical team – that I have a brain aneurysm and it requires immediate attention, brain surgery,’ he began.
‘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.’
‘Let’s think positive,’ co-host Jackie O Henderson said.
‘That doesn’t work in real life,’ Kyle responded.
He then explained his condition on air, continuing: ‘It’s not a blockage. It’s like, imagine your blood vessel is the garden hose, and the garden hose is weak and it blisters out like a big bubble, you know, 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.’
‘It’s expanded and if it bursts, (I will become) either a vegetable, in the wheelchair, or dead.’
Kyle was absent when the show returned on Tuesday last week, and Jackie O told listeners he had vomited on himself.
‘Apparently he’s, um, projectile… he’s vomited all over himself this morning,’ she said.

He returned on air on Wednesday and Thursday, but was away sick on Friday.
Daily Mail Australia now understands Kyle was undergoing tests after an appointment with a cardiologist, who has been treating his high blood pressure.
On Friday, he received a call informing him that he would need surgery.
Kyle said he initially sought medical attention due to persistent headaches.
‘I can be here for a week and then bang, it could be any day of the week, on the weekend,’ he said.
The radio star revealed will be away from the show for up to eight weeks following the procedure.
‘They can either do keyhole surgery, or they’ll have to cut away parts of my skull and open up my head to fix it,’ he added.
In 2014, obesity specialist Dr Edward Jackowski warned that Kyle would die young because of his weight and lifestyle.

While Kyle has long been open about his struggles with weight, he began a serious weight loss journey in 2019.
‘I’m eating healthy and dropping off weight, but it’s a slow process,’ he said.
‘I’ve lost three belt sizes and people I haven’t seen for ages are surprised when they see me, they all tell me I’ve lost weight.’
Kyle said he had started exercising and was enjoying the benefits of a healthy meal delivery plan.
He also stopped some of his worst habits, such as drinking ‘two litres of Coca-Cola and two litres of milk every day’.
‘I was eating s**t before and I’m so stubborn that I never wanted to listen when people told me to get in shape,’ he explained.
