Carey Hart injured in motocross training accident
The 49-year-old motocross rider - who has children Willow, 13, and Jameson, eight, with wife Pink - sustained a "nasty" injury while practicing on his bike earlier this week and despite requiring multiple stitches, he has insisted he is doing "fine".
Sharing photos from hospital, including pictures of his bandaged torso and the lengthy line of stitches underneath, Carey wrote on Instagram: "Welp, I ran out of talent [face palm and cry laughing emojis].
"I had a pretty nasty get off, practicing Thursday morning. Landed off a jump, bars knifed, and took the bar to the gut while going over the bars.
"As I understand it, severed my small intestine from my colon. I'm fine and will recover from this. (sic)"
After thanking a friend for taking him to hospital, Carey also praised his wife for her support.
He wrote: "Just a big thank you to @feedbigb for talking me into going to the ER, and a huge thanks to @pink . As always does in these situations w/ me, she steps up and takes charge at the hospital. Sorry to put you through this, yet again [cry laughing emoji].
"Thanks Willz and Jamo for coming to visit today. (sic)"
Carey is planning to take a few days to recover then promised to get back to friends who have contacted him over the last few days.
He concluded: "Gonna rest up this week, and start the healing process. ***sorry to everyone I ghosted over the last couple days. There was a good reason for it [cry laughing emojis]. I'm gonna take a few days off, and I'll catch up with everyone next week.(sic)"
Just a few months ago, Carey sustained a "dumb" ankle injury while taking part in 'Special Forces' and had to leave the Fox reality show early as a result.
He told UsWeekly: "Truthfully, it was so dumb.
"It's my own fault that that happened. We were running this brutal workout through the mud holes and into the splash pond and all these things. It was absolutely freezing outside. I got hurt because I wasn't paying attention. It's my own fault that that happened. We were running this brutal workout through the mud holes and into the splash pond and all these things. It was absolutely freezing outside. I got hurt because I wasn't paying attention.
"I went and sat and thawed out in the shower and the wrist was one thing. I'm pretty good with tape. I could have got through it, but there was no way I could complete the next couple of days of that show with a blown-up ankle."
And Carey recalled giving the 'So What' hitmaker a scare when he called to tell her what had happened.
He added: "I FaceTimed her that night. At the moment I got hurt, it was probably around midnight. So by the time I made it back to the hotel and got my phone out of the safe and all the things, it was probably 3 o'clock in the morning U.K. time.
"She'd known the period of the time of the show and probably in the back of her mind, she knows anytime my phone's going to ring before that last day, I'm going to be [hurt]. So her initial [reaction] — she was wide-eyed, kind of white as a ghost, asking, 'Are you alright?' And I'm like, 'Yeah, it's just my old body!"

Dannii is back on TV! Singer spotted filming in Aus
More than three decades after she departed Home and Away's golden shores, Dannii Minogue is set to make her acting comeback in a bitter family drama also starring Neighbours icon Jackie Woodburne. The new TV series, titled Imposter, is being produced for the UK's Channel 5 and shot in Australia. Spotted filming in Melbourne, Minogue, 53, cut a radiant figure as she donned a white summer dress matched with blue and tan heels, and a sky blue coat. In shots from filming, Minogue cosies up to co-star Harrison Popple, an emerging Perth-born talent whose best known credit to date is Australian children's drama Itch, filmed in Perth and Albany from 2019-2020. Woodburne, 69, looked a far cry from her beloved Susan Kennedy character on the soap, seen sporting a grey coat and dusty silver hair. Imposter has been described as a Succession-like family feud with a fight for money at its core. Its Aussie cast also features familiar faces Don Hany and Jane Harber, both of whom starred in popular drama Offspring. Harber is also known for Upper Middle Bogan. UK actress and singer Kym Marsh, who became a show favourite on Coronation Street, is also set to star. An Australian broadcaster is yet to be announced but it is set to screen in the UK in 2026.

‘Never shared this before': Star posts shock video crying and shaking
Tammy Hembrow has shared a deeply personal video montage revealing the emotional turmoil she experienced during her marriage to Matt Zukowski – further fuelling speculation about the real story behind their recent split. The 31-year-old fitness mogul, who has been at the centre of a fresh media storm after her high-profile date with AFL star Bailey Smith, took to Instagram on Saturday morning with a vulnerable post. The clip shows Hembrow crying, shaking and breaking down, with her wedding rings clearly visible in many of the clips, confirming these were filmed while she was still in her marriage. The clip opens with text that says: 'It felt like the heaviness would never end,' and shows the mum-of-three trembling mid-breakdown, even crying uncontrollably while brushing her hair. The montage then takes an uplifting turn, with the final clips showing Hembrow smiling and laughing with her friends and family, on holidays, and by the beach. 'But then I noticed the light creeping back in,' the text on screen says. The emotional clip was set to The Cinematic Orchestra's 'To Build A Home'. She paired the video, which amassed 2.5 million views in three hours, with a long message to her followers. 'I made this so long ago and honestly never thought I'd share it. Watching it back makes me genuinely feel ill. But with everything happening right now, if there was ever a time to share it … it's now,' the Saski activewear founder said. 'I'm posting this for the person who feels like they're drowning the way I once did. The person who can't see a way forward. I want you to know, it does get better. I PROMISE you. 'Some traumas shake you so deeply, they change the way you see literally everything. The world, the people around you … and even yourself. But little by little, the light comes back. 'No one else knows your whole story. No one has felt what you've felt, seen what you've seen, or carried what you've carried. This is your life, your journey … but you are not alone in it. 'One day you'll look back and realise you survived what you thought would break you.' The post was instantly flooded with messages of support. 'You've come a long way,' one of her friends, Olivia Phillips, said. Then her sister, Amy, wrote, 'My heart was breaking for you during this time'. Hembrow later took to her Stories to shed some light on why she posted the clip. 'It feels so weird posting that video,' she said. 'But when I was going through that, seeing videos like that helped me so much, so if I can do that for one person, that's all I want.' She then hit back at some commenters who questioned why she filmed videos of herself crying. 'I don't usually film myself crying mid-breakdown, most of those videos I was talking in them and sending to my sister,' she explained. Hembrow's candid post came just days after she was spotted with Bailey Smith at a lunch date in the Gold Coast, with their not-so-discreet outing taking social media by storm. The high-profile date, which was two months after her divorce from Zukowski, led to a range of backlash online, from people who shamed her for moving on 'so quickly'. A community football coach was even sacked yesterday after making a crude social media remark about the situation. The Harvey Brunswick Leschenault Football Club confirmed on Friday that coach John Baggetta had been terminated after he posted an offensive slur to Facebook, where he referred to Hembrow as a 'c** bucket'. The full comment read: 'He's trying to keep his relevance and she's a c** bucket'. Meanwhile, Zukowski, who was married to Hembrow for seven months, released a podcast episode yesterday, speaking about their divorce and saying it 'sucked' seeing his ex move on with someone else. He even claimed that he was the one to end the relationship, saying 'I made one of the hardest decisions of my life. I decided to leave a relationship that I found was not right for me. It was unhealthy for me. And I made the decision for my mental health to leave'. Now, Hembrow's video seems to have gone live in direct response to Zukowski's bold claims, where he presented himself as the one who was unhappy in the marriage. Hembrow's unfiltered video showing her side of the story, and at her lowest, appears as her attempt to offer insight into her reality during the marriage. Other than this clip, Hembrow has seemingly been handling the media frenzy this week quite lightly, posting TikToks calling her haters 'boring' and even cheekily wearing Smith's jacket in one of them.
