Radio star Anthony 'Lehmo' Lehmann rushed to hospital with medical emergency while on holiday in Italy
The 55-year-old shared on Monday that he had been sent by doctors to hospital during a stopover in Milan, Italy, with a case of acute appendicitis.
Lehmann later posted a cheerful selfie in which the Triple M favourite could be seen showing off a peace sign while he posed in a smock in what appears to be a treatment centre.
Pictured without a shirt, ultra sound monitors could be sign fixed on his chest.
'Did not have this on the original travel itinerary!' the star of ABC's Utopia joked in the caption and added, 'On the upside, the emergency ward is the one place I've seen no other tourists!'

He also created his own humorous 'news story' for his Instagram health update.
'Headline: I'm doing the okay!' he began.
He continued, 'Sub headline: Karma arrives on a freight train after Lehmo complains about prices in Venice!!
'Story: Severe stomach pain started two days ago and was getting worse. Arrived in Milan and got a doctor to the hotel room.
'He sent me to emergency with my passport and a note from him. Arrived at emergency at 4:30pm.
He later explained that only two and hours later doctors had diagnosed his symptoms as acute appendicitis at 8pm.
Lehmann received surgery later night, in which doctors removed his appendix.
'It's now 4:30am and I'll be here for at least today. I'm feeling a little sore and but generally good,' he said.
'I have received extraordinary care here in Milan! Despite the language barrier, every single health care professional I've dealt with has had a smile on their face, filled me with confidence and done an incredible job. Grazie Italy.'
Lehmann, who has been a regular guest panelist on network comedy shows, like Have You Been Paying Attention?, is know for his cheeky outbursts.
And back in 2017 he shocked hosts of The Project when he declared he 'loved' Donald Trump.
Up until then Lehmann has been a vocal critic of Donald Trump during and after the businessman's successful campaign to become the President of America.
Much to the amusement of Waleed Aly, Dylan Alcott and Gorgi Coghlan, Anthony's shock statement was a slip of the tongue - protesting that he meant to say he loved Alec Baldwin's impression of the now-President.
He said: 'I love Donald Trump. Sorry, Alec Baldwin as Donald Trump.'
Best known for his stints as a radio celebrity hosting on Melbourne's Gold and ABC Sports, Lehmann won fans for his portrayal as a slippery political flack in the popular Working Dog comedy Utopia.

Vienna announced as host city for Eurovision song contest 2026
Vienna has been chosen to host the Eurovision song contest 2026, the world's biggest live televised music event, Austria's public broadcaster announced, with the final set for 16 May. Austria's JJ won this year's competition, held in Basel in Switzerland, with his song Wasted Love, which blends techno beats with operatic vocals – making his home country the 2026 host. Vienna, which previously hosted the glitzy TV extravaganza in 1967 and 2015, edged out Innsbruck, the capital of western Tirol province, to stage next year's contest, public broadcaster ORF announced on Wednesday. The final of Eurovision's 70th edition will be held at the Wiener Stadthalle, Austria's largest indoor arena, with semi-finals set for 12 and 14 May, Eurovision said. Since its launch in 1955, Eurovision has become the ultimate pop platform, catapulting the Swedish group ABBA to worldwide fame, as well as boosting the likes of Céline Dion, Cliff Richard and Olivia Newton-John. About 166 million viewers in 37 countries watched this year's contest, with a record 60% of viewers aged 15 to 24 tuning in. The competition got even more views on Instagram and TikTok. The show has often drawn controversy, with pro-Palestinian activists staging protests in Switzerland in May after Eurovision allowed Israel – who came runner-up – to participate in the contest despite the devastating Gaza war. After his win, JJ, whose real name is Johannes Pietsch, in an interview called for Israel to be excluded from next year's competition, sparking a storm of criticism in Austria, a staunch supporter of Israel. JJ, 24, has since sought to defuse the controversy, saying via his record label Warner that he was 'sorry if his comments had been misinterpreted'. Austria's far-right Freedom party, which topped elections for the first time last year but failed to form a government, has described Eurovision as a 'queer, leftwing, woke spectacle' and criticised Vienna for wanting to stage it despite the high costs. Basel put up nearly $40m (£30m) to host the contest. Under the slogan 'Europe, shall we dance?', Vienna – more commonly known for classical music and the baroque splendour of its architecture – pushed to host the contest, citing its experience with big events. It also touted its 'enormous' accommodation capacities, its 'excellent' transport links, and its 'cosmopolitanism', with 2 million people living in the Austrian capital. The chosen venue, the Wiener Stadthalle, also hosted Eurovision in 2015, after the previous year's edition was won by bearded drag performer Conchita Wurst. Located in central Vienna, it opened in 1958 and seats 16,000 people in its main hall. When Vienna hosted the Eurovision contest last time, the city installed traffic lights showing same-sex and heterosexual couples instead of a single figure – which proved so popular that authorities decided to keep them for good.
