The Olympic swimmer-turned presenter, 51, tearfully told her Ash, Luttsy & Susie listeners that she 'couldn't do this' anymore and was immediately stepping down after 10 years in the role. 'I do this with a heavy heart, the decision wasn't easy.
It's hard for me to articulate exactly why I'm leaving,' Susie tearfully began. 'Turning 50 last year, I realised I'm at a whole new stage in my life. The next chapter will see me pursue other goals, both professionally and personally.
' Susie added she already had some ideas about what the future held for her and reassured listeners they would get a chance to farewell her as she would remain on the air another six weeks. 'I want to get back to the grassroots of sport and involve myself in the wider community. It's going to be an emotional final day, saying goodbye to everyone.
'Whatever this next chapter brings, my Nova family won't be far away.' She will present her final show on Friday, November 28. Susie O'Neill (pictured) broke down in tears and she announced her shock resignation from her Brisbane Nova breakfast show .
