Today host Allison Langdon reveals all the gruesome injuries she suffered from her hydrofoiling accident and when she’s likely to return to TV

Today host Allison Langdon was forced to have knee surgery after her involvement in a hydrofoiling segment on the Gold Coast on February 4 went terribly wrong.

The TV personality, 41, has been off the air for three weeks following the accident, with no definite word on her return date.

Appearing on KIIS FM’s Kyle and Jackie O show on Thursday, Allison revealed all the gruesome injuries she suffered as a result of the watersports stunt.

While Allison was pushed through the airport in a wheelchair with a leg brace firmly placed around her right leg, she has mostly kept the extent of her injuries private.

Her co-host Karl Stefanovic had previously joked on the breakfast radio program that Ally had simply ‘bruised her kneecap’, but added in all seriousness that she was ‘properly injured’ and the incident was ‘horrendous’ to watch first hand.

Radio hosts Kyle Sandilands and Jackie ‘O’ Henderson then called Ally to ask how serious her injuries really were.

‘I’ve done a right royal job on it,’ Allison confirmed, as she began listing a broken leg and a dislocated knee as some of her injuries before being cut off by the radio stars.

‘That sound horrific!’ Jackie said, as she claimed it must be terrifying for Ally to face the fear and high probability of dislocating the knee again in the future. 

Seeing the upside of the situation, Ally joked that she will have an awesome scar at the back of her leg after it heals.

When asked when she would likely return to Today’s hosting panel, she said optimistically: ‘I’m desperate to get back, I actually miss Karl and the team. A couple more weeks and then hopefully.’ 

On Monday, she surprised the Today team by Zooming into the breakfast show to share an update on her recovery.

Allison said she was seeing a physiotherapist three times a week and resting up at home with her two children and husband.

Last week, Allison revealed she was finally back home after having knee surgery in Sydney following her accident in Queensland two weeks earlier.

She shared a photo to Instagram of herself with her children, Mack, four, and Scout, two, and captioned it: ‘So nice to get home to these two.’

In a statement to Daily Mail Australia at the time, Channel Nine described what had happened as ‘an unfortunate accident’.

‘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,’ they said. 

The statement added that both Karl and Ally had a ‘comprehensive safety induction and a thorough run-through of all aspects of hydrofoiling. 

Post-accident: After she was brought back to the wharf, Allison was taken to hospital where she received treatment. She flew back to Sydney on February 5 ahead of her operation
