Shattered Today presenter Allison Langdon returns to Sydney after falling asleep on camera during a marathon coverage of the Queen’s death in London
Tonight’s show host Allison Langdon looked exhausted on Thursday as she jetted into Sydney Airport after a 24-hour flight from London.
Her homecoming followed a grueling two weeks of traveling the world and working grueling 14-hour days to cover the death of the Queen for Channel Nine.
She worked so hard that she eventually fell asleep in front of the camera, although luckily the moment happened during a break from live coverage.

The mother of two, 43, actually looked very tired as she leaned against her trolley with her suitcases stacked on top.
Allison dressed casually for the flight in pants and a black sweater with sleeves rolled up as she carted her luggage through the busy airport.
She wrapped a leopard print scarf around her neck and had a matching scrunchie slipped over her wrist and completed her look with a pair of sturdy boots.

Allison tucked her blonde locks behind her ears and let her natural beauty shine by going completely makeup-free.
Her weary look was in stark contrast to her Today co-host Karl Stefanovic, who had returned to Sydney a day earlier with a big smile on his face and lugging around a single suitcase containing a Louis Vuitton bag.
Allison solo hosted the Today show on Wednesday while her 48-year-old co-host was away following the Queen’s funeral.
She began her live broadcast from Buckingham Palace on Tuesday at 20:30 (GMT) without Karl by her side and confirmed his absence around an hour later.

Referring to the unusually quiet scenes at the palace in London, Allison explained that Karl was on a flight home to Australia.
Karl had arrived in London on September 13 to report on the Queen’s death. Allison was on site a day earlier, hosting Today alongside Charles Croucher.
Nine seems to have switched its presenters’ flights back to Australia, so its flagship news programmes, like the Today Show, have not been able to do without both main presenters.

It comes after Allison dozed off on set during a break from covering the Queen’s funeral on Monday after broadcasting for 14 hours from Buckingham Palace.
Exhausted, she rolled up a jacket to use as a pillow while napping on the lap of Today senior producer Will Hutchinson, who snapped a photo for Instagram.
Allison reposted the photo to her own Instagram Stories on Tuesday, along with the caption, “Hour 14. Everything is fine.”
