Aussie TV star hospitalised with scary health issue
The Aussie TV star shared a photo to Instagram on Tuesday while in a neck brace and lying in a hospital bed after being diagnosed with Crowned Dens Syndrome (CDS).
CDS is a rare condition leading to neck pain and stiffness after too many calcium deposits form on the bone's surrounding ligaments.
'Sometimes you don't choose the break, the break chooses you. I've been constantly pushing myself and my body just couldn't keep up,' she wrote.
'Grateful for the wakeup call and the chance to slow down and reset (although next time I'd appreciate a beach somewhere in Europe.'

Lisa also shared a video surrounded by family in hospital and said: 'We are staying positive!
'I have a good cheer squad keeping me entertained with dance performances, snacks, cute giggles, and mum's new zumba moves. Laughter really is the best medicine.'
Lisa revealed she had been rushed to hospital earlier this week after collapsing in her home.
'Went to hospital and they said it was just muscular, but I knew something wasn't right,' she said.
'Got home, then collapsed a couple hours later. My parents found me on the floor, barely able to talk or move. The pain was unbearable.'
She later explained: 'They're now treating me for something called crowned dens syndrome.'
'It's a rare condition where uric acid crystals build up in the spine causing intense neck and head pain.'
Lisa shot to fame on Blake Garvey's 2014 season of The Bachelor.
After failing to find love, she briefly returned to reality TV in 2018 on the first season of Bachelor In Paradise.
Shortly after her split from co-star Luke McLeod, Lisa found love with Damon Collina and they welcomed daughter Myja-Jae in July 2019.
At the time, Lisa admitted the difficulty in balancing motherhood with a burgeoning business empire.
'I used to think I was so busy before I became a mum,' she told Daily Mail Australia. 'I had no idea!'
'In the first three months of having MJ, I was lucky enough to find time in the day to shower or do anything for myself really - that part they don't tell you,' Lisa added.
'For me, the key to juggling "mum life" and running a business is having a good routine and surrounding myself with people you can trust and rely on.'

Melinda Gates candidly details where she went 'wrong' with parenting
Melinda Gates has got a lot 'right' in life, particularly when it comes to business ventures that have helped her amass a net worth of $30.7 billion. But she admits she has made mistakes before, and one of her first big 'failures' didn't happen in a meeting - it happened at home during an interaction with her youngest daughter Phoebe Gates. In the How to Fail with Elizabeth Day podcast, Melinda, 60, opened up about a heated moment with her now-23-year-old daughter Phoebe that led to the mom-of-three learning an important lesson not only about parenting but about friendships as well. She explained that while her older children, Jennifer, 30, and Rory, 25, were pretty good at following rules, her youngest was the 'toughest.' 'My third one just ran right through the rules,' Melinda, who is Microsoft found Bill Gates ' ex wife, told Elizabeth. Melinda went on to describe a moment when Phoebe was in high school that the mother-daughter duo got into an argument because Melinda wasn't allowing her to go to a party. 'She was really mad about it, kept pushing and pushing and pushing on me and finally she pushed me over the edge and I lost my temper with her,' Melinda said. She explained that while as parents you never want to lose your temper, it got away from her at that moment. 'We're all human, but I really lost my temper in a way I just shouldn't have and she was really angry at me and for good reason then, especially,' she said. 'I had not just a little bit raised my voice. 'I'd really raised my voice and I knew I was in the wrong.' Melinda quickly realized that she had 'overdone it,' but Phoebe had already marched upstairs. The mom quickly followed her upstairs to try and repair the situation - but Phoebe wasn't as eager for reconciliation as Melinda had thought she would be. Melinda went up to apologize and had asked her daughter for at least a hug, but Phoebe refused. 'I had to learn that no from her, that putting her hand up saying, "no, mom," she needed longer till she was ready to repair and maybe what I wanted, she wasn't ready for and it,' Melinda said. 'We all repair or get over emotions at different rates and just because I'm ready doesn't mean she's ready and of course as I look back, I was also the one in the position of power.' Elizabeth then asked Melinda if the reason she wanted to patch things up so quickly - or at least sooner than her did - was because she was uncomfortable with people being mad at her. But Melinda said that that wasn't the case. 'I worked at Microsoft for nine years,' she said. 'People were mad all the time.' Instead, she explained that it was because she knew she had overstepped, even as a parent. But the situation, as well as one that happened a few years after where the two fought again, reinforced the idea that everyone needed their own time to be ready for repair in relationships. 'We learned from that and she also learned boundaries,' she said.
