TODAY star Savannah Guthrie abruptly stopped filming a segment as her ankle reportedly buckled while doing exercises.

The host, 50, was seen participating in an outdoor Jazzercise demonstration during Thursday’s show.

Guthrie, who was wearing gym gear, immersed herself in the exercises as she worked out with co-star Sheinelle Jones.  

The hosts performed several routines to the music as fans cheered outdoors and waved handmade signs.

She shared a clip on her Instagram account and said: “A real good time til my ankle buckled.”

Fans rushed to wish Guthrie a speedy recovery after learning that she suffered a slight injury.

One said: “Those tricky ankles – once they’re compromised. Ugh. Hope you’re back to full speed soon.”

Another commented: “Loved this. So sorry about your ankle! Ouch!!”

And, a third posted online: “Oh no!! Get well.”

Viewers said Guthrie was “awesome” during the exercise class.

Guthrie’s latest injury comes just months after she hit herself in the forehead with a pickleball paddle.

Pickleball can be played indoors or outdoors and the sport incorporates elements from ping pong, tennis, and badminton.

She referred to the injury during a segment with physical therapist David Endres.

Guthrie asked Endres: “Have you ever seen anybody who’s hit their own head with a pickleball racket? Well, now you have."

She shared a selfie where she had a large swollen lump on her forehead.

She explained that a bottle of rosé wine helped bring the swelling down.

And, in April, Guthrie suffered a toe injury, forcing her to present the show in her slippers, Hello revealed.

Rumors have swirled for months that claim Guthrie is locked in a feud with her co-star Hoda Kotb.

A source close to production on TODAY exclusively told The Sun back in June that Guthrie and Kotb "can't stand each other" backstage.

The insider claimed: "Savannah is the boss. After Matt Lauer was ousted, Savannah grabbed power, and she really wanted Willy Geist in Hoda's role, but his ratings were just not up to par for the network. 

"Hoda out maneuvered Savannah and got the spot." 

The source also said that Guthrie views herself as a “real news person,” while Kotb is perceived as a “lightweight.”

Today staffers have reportedly chosen sides, gushing that they prefer Kotb over Guthrie.

One source told The Sun that Kotb is everyone’s “absolute favorite”, adding that she’s “so warm and friendly” and a “great mentor off camera”

Viewers have started speculating that Guthrie may leave the show in the future after the host shared a series of shots.

The first picture featured her sitting on the couch next to Kotb though fans noticed there was a gap between them.

In the second photo, Savannah was outside, smiling, on the Today show plaza with a bunch of her co-hosts.

She shared several other pictures, including one of herself with fans where she was smiling and holding a mic.

The final photo saw Guthrie standing alone in the indoor set, with her back to the camera.

One viewer posted: “I assume you are leaving the show based on your recent posts.”

Last month, critics called for Guthrie to be fired from the show.
