Denise Drysdale has given fans an update on her health, three months after fracturing her shoulder on the set of Channel Seven’s golfing game show Holey Moley.
Appearing on Thursday’s Studio 10, the 72-year-old comedian admitted that she’s still recovering from her injuries to this day, but luckily isn’t in pain anymore.
‘I had a bit of an accident. I fractured my shoulder and then sat for three months, I couldn’t do anything, she lamented.

‘No… Pain is no stranger anyway!’ joked the funnywoman.

Back in October, Denise told Studio 10 that she was simply ‘in a situation where she shouldn’t have been’ when she fell over and injured herself.
‘I wasn’t playing silly buggers. It was 3.30 in the morning and a segment I was doing shouldn’t have even been considered,’ she cryptically explained.
‘I did it, and I shouldn’t have. I’ve learned a terrible lesson to learn at my age, but it has changed my thinking – again!’

Meanwhile, TV Blackbox & McKnight Tonight host Rob McKnight speculated in October that Denise was performing her signature ‘chicken dance’ when she fell.
‘[Denise] was playing up to the crowd and performing her infamous chicken dance on a flat part of the course,’ he revealed.
Speaking more about the accident, he said she’d probably ‘done a dance for the crowd to keep them entertained, that’s what Denise does’.
It is not known whether Holey Moley, which is currently airing on Channel Seven, will show the moment Denise fell down.
