The 60-year-old Olympic swimming legend is still overcome with grief after the death of her daughter, Jaimi Kenny, at the age of 33 in 2020.
Osher explained that he was so emotional when she made the sad confession that he gave the sports star a hug.
He said her commentary was removed from the show before it aired.
“Thank god they were cut out because I really burst into tears,” he tweeted this week.
“What an absolute goddess of a human being.”
Osher explained that after Lisa made her heartbreaking confession, he was so emotional that he gave the sports star a hug.
Viewers responded to Osher’s Tweet with their own emotional stories.

She played a moving rendition of Cloudy Day from Tones and I and failed to impress the show’s live audience.
The judges’ final guesses were Schapelle Corby, Carrie Bickmore, Sally Pearson and Emily Seebohm.
“I can’t sing, but I’m cute,” Lisa laughed after she took off her mask.
‘Caterpillars can’t sing, you know that, but we’ll turn into butterflies. And I can. Well, at my age I’ll probably turn into a moth,’ she laughed.
