Matthew Johns has revealed that he will be toning down his bad language after his TV comeback.
The Australian sports star-turned-presenter, who was sacked from The Footy Show after being involved in a group sex scandal, said that he has learned important lessons from his past mistakes.
Johns told The Sunday Telegraph: "During my time out I had the chance to look back on a few things. Bit silly, bit stupid. Shouldn't have done this, shouldn't have done that. That was dumb, that was stupid. I've assessed all that - I've had a lot of time to think about it."
Talking about his new series for Channel Seven, he said: "Look, the show has got to be fun. It's got to be entertaining, but there's going to be some really serious football elements, as well.
"At the end of the day, I still like having a good time. I'm just going to be smarter about how I do it.
"It's really something I can't control whether people have forgiven me or not. It's like me and my wife worrying about going out and doing the shopping together. At the end of the day, you've just gotta pick up the fowl, buy the groceries and get on with it."
Johns also said that his old TV character Reg Reagan, who was famous for making sexual innuendos, would not be returning and was "in retirement".
