Simon Dallow to fill in for Susan Wood on Q+A

Broadcaster Susan Wood suffered serious injuries in a fall at her home.

Broadcaster Simon Dallow will fill in for Susan Wood while she rehabilitates from a brain injury suffered in a fall.

The host of TVNZ's Q+A programme reportedly fell while she was carrying washing upstairs at her home on January 10. She was found by a family member several hours later.

Wood is recovering at a brain injury rehabilitation facility and is said to be making good progress.

TVNZ today announced Dallow had been appointed as the fill-in host of Q+A while Wood was away.

"I'm looking forward to keeping the seat warm and I hope to make Susan proud," Dallow said.

"There's actually a degree of symmetry to this as Susan once filled in for me 10 years ago, so I'm pleased to be able to return the favour."

Q+A returns to TV One on March 1.
