Leila McKinnon recovering after knee surgery

Nine’s Leila McKinnon is recuperating after a nasty accident in which she shattered her knee.

“Hey what did you do on the school holidays? I don’t want to show off or anything but I got a fancy piercing in my knee,” she wrote on Instagram.

“Did I? a) throw myself into a mosh pit to get closer to Harry Styles? b) throw myself at a mountain at high speed? c) throw myself down the stairs in a high-heel related accident?”

Nine sources confirmed to news.com.au McKinnon suffered the injury in a skiing accident.

McKinnon, who will feature soon as an Australian Ninja Warrior co-host alongside Jim Courier (pictured), also posted x-rays with a pin in her knee.

Get well soon!
