According to his social media, the sepsis ‘destroyed’ his body in an hour, resulting in his needing to learn to walk again.

He promised fans that he will be back on Carte Blanche “ASAP”.

Retweeting Watts’ post, Carte Blanche wished their presenter well.

“We look forward to having you back in the #CarteBlanche studio soon!” read the tweet.

“But for now, focus on healing both body and mind. You have the entire team behind you.”

Carte Blanche airs on M-Net (DStv channel 101) every Sunday at 19:00 (SA time).
