Today: Scherri-Lee Biggs heads back to Perth after Ninja Warrior segment

Scherri-Lee Biggs signed off from the Today show on Friday, after six weeks filling in for regular weather presenter Tim Davies.

The popular fill-in host ended her run with a live cross from a climbing gym in Condell Park, Sydney, where she attempted to scale a Ninja Warrior-inspired warped wall.

The 32-year-old, clad in red leggings and a white T-shirt, dashed at the wall while a group of children cheered her on from the sidelines.

While she reached the top, she was unable to climb onto the platform and soon slid down the wall, rolling onto her back.

Scherri-Lee didn’t seem too discouraged, though, and had a big smile on her face as she spoke to Brooke Boney and Alex Cullen back in the studio.

Brooke said she’d been ‘an absolute joy’ for the last six weeks, adding that the Today show team was sad to see her go back to Perth.

‘Best of luck and thank you so much for joining us over the summer,’ she said. 

Alex also gave her props for ‘throwing yourself at everything’ – including activities she found daunting because of her fear of heights.

With the summer edition of Today coming to an end on Friday, Scherri-Lee will be returning to her usual position as Nine News Perth’s weather presenter. 

It comes days after Brooke joked Scherri-Lee had been fired for her lack of courage.

Brooke, 35, told her she had ‘just filmed her last cross’ after she refused to jump from a platform at an indoor rock-climbing centre because she’s afraid of heights.

‘I’m so nervous, I don’t think I can do it. I’m shaking, I can’t do it,’ Scherri-Lee yelled as she stood on the platform.

‘Go, go, come on, Scherri, you can do it!’ Brooke said, as her co-host Alex Cullen added: ‘We are not leaving until you do it.’

A terrified Scherri-Lee responded: ‘I can’t do it… I’m climbing down.’

The viral moment comes after entertainment reporter Brooke Boney (right, with Alex Cullen) joked on Tuesday that Scherri-Lee had been fired for her lack of courage

After she’d climbed back down to the ground, Brooke jokingly told viewers Scherri-Lee had been fired from the show. 

‘I’d like to take this opportunity to say it has been great working with you, Scherri-Lee Biggs,’ she began.

‘She has taken some time off to spend with her family. I don’t think she is going to be with us tomorrow because she didn’t rise to the occasion.’
