Today show viewers have raised their concerns for reporter Mia Glover after she appeared on the breakfast program with a ‘drooping’ eye and swollen cheek on Wednesday morning.
The Channel Nine reporter and weekend news presenter, 34, was on the show to report a whale sighting on the Gold Coast, Queensland.
Concerns were raised as the whale was seen swimming close to shore and from the inside of the shark nets, with surfers swimming out to check on the animal.
But viewers were more worried about Mia, whose left eye appeared to droop while her cheek looked red and swollen.
‘Is Mia’s left eye ok? Looks droopy. Just checking she is ok,’ one viewer wrote on Facebook.
‘Yes left eye and swollen red cheek by looks of it,’ another added. ‘Could be anything from a bug to red eye. Hope she is ok.’
Daily Mail Australia has contacted Nine for comment.
Mia has spent over a decade working in the media, and previously was as a newsreader for both Nine News and KIIS FM.
She has developed a reputation for presenting the news in style and is known for trading cheeky jabs with Today show co-hosts Karl Stefanovic and Sarah Abo.
