GMA’s Lara Spencer forced to take a backseat during show finale with on-screen co-star amid ongoing health battle

GOOD Morning America’s Lara Spencer was forced to take a backseat during the finale of yesterday’s show.

Viewers were treated to a live performance from Cheat Codes and the country singer MacKenzie Porter at the close of Monday’s episode.

Lara, who has been wearing a protective boot for weeks, was seen waving her arm along to the music while sitting down in her director-style chair.

She boogied alongside her colleague Rebecca Jarvis - the chief business, economics, and technology correspondent at ABC News.

Lara captioned the video: "Dance like no one's watching (And you're not wearing a boot."

Rebecca shared a video of Lara pretending to play the guitar as she held her injured leg aloft.

She captioned the short clip: “Ladies & Gentleman, Lara Spencer.”

Lara revealed earlier this month that she underwent foot surgery.

She told fans that a torn plantar plate and ligament had been slowly getting worse before she went under the knife.

The mom said that she didn’t want to miss her daughter’s final soccer season or the holidays.

She said: “Rollin into 2023 like… I’m not exactly sure but it should be interesting at work.”

Lara has documented her recovery online as she has shared videos of herself working out in a physical rehabilitation center.

She posted a snap online that showed her balancing her legs on a large ball.

And, in a second video, she was seen doing leg exercises while being instructed by her therapist.

The daytime TV star has been using a pink scooter to help her get around the studio.

She has jazzed up the mode of transport, covering the handlebars with crystals.

Lara has also added jewels, a bell, and some tassels to the transport.

She revealed that the scooter had become “quite an attraction” on the GMA set.

In one snap, weatherman Sam Champion was seen horsing around with Lara and her scooter.

The meteorologist said: “I’m here to help!”

Champion revealed that his colleagues Robin Roberts and Michael Strahan urged him to “be careful.”

The U.S. Sun reported how Lara spends her time between stories as she continues her recovery from surgery.

In one snap, she was seen resting her injured foot on an empty chair next to her.
