Fears For Karl

He is excitedly preparing for his television comeback, but it seems not everyone is thrilled with the news that Karl Stefanovic is returning to his former glory days.

Still in the throes of newly wedded bliss, a source claims that his wife Jasmine has confided to close friends about her husband’s return to Today and has serious concerns.

“It’s been hard for them both,” says a friend. “Jas has seen Karl at his worst and no-one wants to see a loved one suffer, so of course she feels protective over him and what they have.

“Karl has said himself it’s a lot of pressure and she doesn’t want him stressed out again.”

But having offered unwavering support through his fall from grace, the shoe designer is not only worried about how the pressure to save the show’s ratings will affect Karl, but is concerned about the company he will now be keeping.
