Sandra Sully sparks concern after appearing on Ten News with a nasty injury on show

Veteran Ten news presenter Sandra Sully has appeared on television with her hand heavily wrapped in a bandage, sparking concern.

The star journalist read headlines from 10 News First at 5pm on Monday with two fingers of her left hand hidden under a medical covering.

Network 10 confirmed that Sully, one of the most recognizable faces on Australian television, had undergone surgery after being injured the week before.

Sully has been part of the Ten News team since 1990

“Sandra Sully suffered a minor injury last week that required minor surgery on her finger,” a spokesperson said.

“She’s doing well and she’s doing better now.”

Sandra has been part of the Ten News team since 1990 and was the first Australian journalist to break news of the September 11 terrorist attacks, the 22nd anniversary of which was celebrated today.

Earlier this year, Sandra recalled one of her most embarrassing live TV moments.

The veteran newsreader revealed on the I have news for you podcast that she once struggled to finish a bulletin about a kangaroo that was “playing with its testicles.”

(At the end of my broadcast) I was doing sports and they had a play of the day,” the Channel 10 host explained.

“Generally I got a chance to watch it and one time I was busy and they didn’t put it on the feed and they waited until I was on the air. I didn’t even get a chance to look at the photos.’

“(The story) was a golf tournament and there was a gang of kangaroos on the course. The game had to be stopped because this kangaroo decided to play with his testicles.’

Sandra explained that she had not expected it and that she could not finish her news bulletin.

‘It was international reporting and the team put music on it. I didn’t expect it and could barely finish the bulletin. It was about 11:30 p.m.,” she added.
