Allison Langdon's "drastic injuries" worsen as Channel Nine shirks responsibility

She's gone downhill fast. - by Catie Powers
  • 12 Feb 2021

Since Allison Langdon's scary accident saw her rushed to hospital last week, Today Show fans have been awaiting news on exactly what sort of damage has been done to the presenter. Now, the latest update has revealed the 41-year-old is in for some serious recuperating time. And Channel Nine are adamant that they are not the ones to blame.

Last Thursday, while the Today cast was filming a "hydrofoiling" segment in Burleigh Heads Queensland, co-host Allison Langdon, 41, sustained a nasty injury to her knee.

Footage taken after the incident showed Ally floating on her back in the water, clearly in pain, as two men pulled her to shore where co-host Karl Stefanovic helped the journalist take her helmet off.

At the time, it was revealed the 41-year-old required knee surgery which would force her to take a "lengthy break" from her hosting duties.

Now, the full extent of the damage has been uncovered. And it's not a pretty sight for the presenter.

In a piece penned for the Today Show newsletter, Ally described the current state of her banged up knee.

“I have a nice amount of metal in my knee now and have to wait a further five weeks before I can put any weight on my right leg," Ally wrote from the hospital.

“Patience has never been a strength of mine so let’s see how we go... I can’t believe what looked like a pretty innocent fall has resulted in such drastic injuries.”

Despite being in charge of the hydrofoiling expedition, Channel Nine has claimed that they are not to blame for the slip-up as every safety precaution was followed.

“After nearly an hour of incident-free filming of a segment about hydrofoiling, Ally fell awkwardly as she headed back to the marina at the end of the shoot," a spokesperson told the Daily Mail. “It was an unfortunate accident, and she was immediately taken to hospital.

"(Karl and Ally) had a comprehensive safety induction, and a thorough run-through of all aspects of hydrofoiling.

“As with every shoot, safety requirements, briefings and subsequent after-care, are strictly followed and prioritised.”

It looks like Karl will need to find a new co-host.

Reportedly, Ally underwent surgery for her hurt knee on Monday and, as a result, will have to step back from her hosting duties for the foreseeable future.

And while Channel Nine has declined to comment on the presenter's recovery period, it's been speculated that they will be the ones to fork out the medical bill.

Even though Alli has allegedly had one foot out the Today Show door for a while now, having to be away from her source of income has got to come as a blow for the presenter.
