Karl Stefanovic: I've been broken in the last two years

There’s no denying Australians love to know about Karl Stefanovic.

But it seems the interest in the Today presenter’s private life has taken a toll on him in the last couple of years.

So much so, the host admitted he has “100%” considered quitting his role on the Channel Nine breakfast show.

“I’ve been broken in the last two years, but you still have to come to work and do a breakfast show,” he explained in an interview with TV Tonight.

“There are a lot more people in in this world going through hardship than Karl Stefanovic.”

However, the 43-year-old also added he didn’t understand the fuss over his private life, likening himself to being “the world’s most boring f***ing man”.

“I have my ugg boots on, my track suit pants, my AC/DC shirt and I’m watching Stan in front of the fire. That’s as exciting as I get,” he told the outlet.
