Earlier this year, she made another shocking discovery after hearing noises in her kitchen at 4am.
The presenter revealed on Instagram that she’d she found two brushtail possums hiding behind her fridge – with one appearing to be injured.
She then called the wildlife rescue to capture the marsupials and release them back into the wild.
However, later in the day, Leila revealed one of the possums had passed away.

‘Update, one of the two female possums has died. The other is happy and healthy and so is the joey in her pouch,’ she wrote.
It comes after Leila recently shared details about the accident that caused her shattered knee.

‘Mountain 1 McKinnon 0,’ the Australian Ninja Warrior host wrote in the caption, suggesting she’d suffered a mishap on the slopes.
