Last month, Kerri-Anne broke her ankle and collarbone after suffering a horrific fall from a trapeze during a performance of Pippin at Sydney’s Lyric Theatre.
She was rushed to St Vincent’s Hospital ‘as a precaution’ and bowed out of the musical.
Footage obtained by Daily Mail Australia showed the shocking moment the former Studio 10 host dropped to the floor as the audience gasped in horror.
An X-ray also showed the full extent of her injuries, which left her in a ‘significant amount of pain’.

In a statement released by her management at the time, Kerri-Anne confirmed she would no longer be starring in the stage production.
‘Good riddance to 2020,’ she said. ‘Pippin has genuinely been one of the great experiences of my life exceeding all my expectations.’
She added that she loved the cast ‘more than ever’, before saying of the accident: ‘What happened is just a random misstep in the trapeze and circus world.
‘I’ve always felt safe in their hands but accidents just happen. I was trained well and loved getting stronger and the routine smoother.

‘I’m devastated that I can’t finish the run. It was just so much fun. I broke my collarbone quite severely and have a slight chip of my ankle bone.’
Kerri-Anne said she would know ‘within a week’ if she needed surgery.
‘I’m hoping my injury will heal in the natural course of time, but for now I have to bow out. I will miss my Pippin family!’ she concluded.
Kerri-Anne was playing the supporting character Grandma Berthe in Pippin, and her signature song involved climbing atop a 15ft (4.5m) trapeze.
