She had surgery in Sydney on Monday, with her Today show colleagues Karl Stefanovic and Leila McKinnon updating viewers on Tuesday morning.

"A big shout-out to Ally this morning. Hopefully she's back on the mend after her operation," said Leila, who has been filling in for Ally.

Dramatic footage aired on the show on Friday Feb 6, showing Ally lying on her back in the water wearing a life vest as she was guided to shore by two men.

Sitting on the jetty afterwards, her co-host Karl was seen helping Ally take her helmet off.

In a statement following the incident, Channel 9 said it was an "unfortunate accident" and despite the mishap both Karl and Ally "had a wonderful time".

“They had a comprehensive safety induction, and a thorough run-through of all aspects of hydrofoiling," the network told News.com.au.
