Below Deck Season 10 star Fraser Olender has given Newsweek an exclusive update on Captain Lee Rosbach after the star's health issues caused him to temporarily leave the show.

Rosbach, 73, started off the latest season of the Bravo show as the Captain of the 197-foot motor yacht St. David, but he had to leave in heartbreaking scenes after making the decision to step back from his role.

His exit had been teased ahead of the episode, which aired in December 2022, after Rosbach had initially opened up about his health during the season premiere the month before, telling his co-stars that he would be "a little incapacitated" on their trip.

"I have a nerve issue on my left side so I am going to depend on you guys in some areas," the Below Deck favorite said, adding that he had undergone back surgery before filming had begun.
