In a recent video, Watts shared a brief update on his health. "Another short hospital stay, but I'm fine – I'll be out of here soon… Thank you for all the love, the messages, the prayers that give us all hope,” he says in a pre-recorded video. The Carte Blanche presenter was diagnosed with skin cancer last year, which has since spread to his lungs. He was rushed to ICU earlier this year after a suspected stroke, which was later diagnosed as severe sepsis after he collapsed while on a family trip.

With the love and support of his family, friends, and specialists, he was able to continue telling the stories that have shaped the country. The team remains ‘hopeful and optimistic’ about his recovery. “We have complete confidence in the expertise and dedication of his medical team, who will provide the best possible care and support throughout this process,” reads the statement from Carte Blanche.
