‘I just thought it was a little annoying bump or something,’ he said to his co-star Jackie O this morning.

‘It was hideous, my leg swelled up like a big fat lady down at Jenny Craig. One ankle was fat and one ankle was beautiful and slender.’

He added: ‘My lymph nodes did swell up in my groin and I thought ‘oh s**t what’s going on here’.

‘(And) because it went so swollen and blew up and now it’s back to normal size, all the skin’s flaking off like a lizard.’

Last week there were fears his leg would have to be amputated following the injury.

‘I thought, what if I have to get this chopped off?’ he said.

‘I woke up one morning panicked, all sweating, and I had dreamt that the doctor had amputated my leg from the groin.’

Kyle is currently at home resting, a spokesperson told The Daily Telegraph.

‘I’ve spent over five grand on medical bills,’ the shock jock revealed.

Doctors believe he was bitten by a wolf spider.
