Australian celebrities take valuable hospital beds after on set injuries

There are not many seats left in the emergency waiting room after it became full of celebrities injured while filming TV shows.

Nobody will ever say “break a leg” to these TV stars injured while filming again.

There has been a glut of injuries to well-known faces lately. We take a look at who has been in the back of the ambulance.

DENISE DRYSDALE: BROKEN SHOULDER

The latest is Denise Drysdale who fractured her shoulder while filming Channel 7’s Celebrity Holey Moley.

Ms Drysdale was injured while chasing a person in a gopher costume who had zapped her for failing to make a put.

In footage aired on Sunday night, she is seen falling over. A team of medics treated her while a person wearing a gopher suit stood and watched.

The TV presenter told her Studio 10 colleagues about the injury late last year.

Denise Drysdale offered medical assistance after the injury.

“I wasn’t playing silly buggers,” she said.

“It was 3.30 in the morning and a segment I was doing should not have even been considered. I did it and I shouldn’t have.”

ALLISON LANGDON: BROKEN LEG

The revelation comes only weeks after Today Show host Allison Langdon was hospitalised on the Gold Coast.

The 41-year-old was filming a segment on foiling, a type of surfing, before falling off the watercraft where she broke her leg and dislocated her knee.

It has not been all bad for the mother of two who shared a candid photo of her children with the caption “So nice to get home to these two”.

KERRI-ANNE KENNERLEY: BROKEN COLLARBONE

Late last year, The Daily Telegraph reported TV veteran Kerri-Anne Kennerley had been sent to hospital after being injured during a performance of Pippin.

She fell while swinging from a trapeze as she belted out No Time At All at Sydney’s Lyric Theatre.

True to form, the veteran finished the tune before being rushed to St Vincent’s Hospital. She suffered a broken collarbone and had to undergo surgery.

NICK CUMMINS: DEEP CUT

SAS Australia participant and former-Wallaby Nick “Honey Badger” Cummins copped a bad gash while filming.

The cut was bone-deep and caused while carrying 250kg of artillery.

The former sportsman also dished out the punishment to his competitors on the show.

He was blasted after he belted AFLW player Sabrina Frederick during a boxing match.

The 33-year-old also dished out a crunching tackle to former swimmer Shanya Jack while competing in a game called murderball.
