Real Housewives of Sydney star Lisa Oldfield rushed to hospital with serious health scare
The 50-year-old reality TV star took to Instagram on Thursday to share a candid selfie from her hospital bed, revealing the shock diagnosis was definitely not how she planned to spend her week.
Wearing a blue surgical cap and nasal oxygen tube, Lisa appeared remarkably composed in the photo, which showed her hooked up to monitoring devices with a blood pressure cuff on her arm.
'I like to plan my week ahead. Perforated diverticulitis was not on my to do list,' she wrote in the caption.
'Thanks Jimmy for getting me seen to and operated on quick smart, my doctor is the best vet on the Northern Beaches,' she added, cheekily comparing her medical team to a vet.
Fans and friends flooded the comment section with well-wishes, with one follower writing, 'That can be very serious Lisa - it killed my dad. So glad you were seen to early.'
The reality TV star shared an image that showed her recovering in a hospital bed with a breathing tube in her nose and what appeared to be electrodes attached to her forehead
'Wishing you a speedy recovery,' added another, while a third shared, 'Have experienced this!! Extremely painful. Good luck with recovery.'
Perforated diverticulitis is a serious and potentially life-threatening condition where small pockets in the bowel wall become inflamed and infected, sometimes leading to a rupture.
Lisa, who is known for her sharp wit and no-nonsense attitude on RHOS, has not yet revealed how long she'll remain in hospital but appears to be on the mend.
It's not the first time Lisa has shared photos of her facial injuries to social media.
In July, she posted a similar image to Instagram, which captured a trail of blood running down her forehead from her scalp.
'I am the clumsiest person on the planet,' she wrote in her caption.
'I sneezed really hard and managed to bang my head on the door I was closing at the time'.
Lisa also revealed to her followers in March that she had been diagnosed with myocarditis - an inflammation of the middle layer of the heart wall.

'I thought it was the thrill of the win on Saturday, but turns out I have myocarditis,' she wrote on social media.
'Bit scary but with lots of rest I should make a 100% recovery,' she continued.
One follower enquired: 'Is it from your vaccine? Several friends of mine have myocarditis too and got it after they vaccinated.
Lisa was quick to address their concern.
'No from my osteomyelitis from my broken toe,' she responded.
Lisa, who is the ex-wife of One Nation co-founder David Oldfield, rose to fame after starring The Real Housewives of Sydney in 2016.

Strictly star George Clarke's hugely successful producer dad as he's revealed as nepo baby
YouTuber and TikTok sensation George Clarke who will appear on Strictly Come Dancing this Autumn has a very famous and successful father Strictly Come Dancing star George Clarke has surprisingly been revealed as a secret nepo-baby after his dad's identity has been unveiled. Earlier this week, Strictly bosses revealed that YouTuber George, 25, is joining the line-up for its 2025 series. He became the sixth contestant to join this year's cast, after EastEnders ' Balvinder Sopal was announced as a contestant on Good Morning Britain. The YouTuber and podcaster boasts 678k followers on Instagram, and is known for his podcast The Useless Hotline with Max Balegde. He's also built a thriving digital career with millions of followers across YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram.. "Never thought I'd say this… but I'm doing Strictly! Honestly, I've got no idea what I'm doing but I'm excited to get stuck in … and potentially fall over a fair bit," George said on joining the hit show. It comes after reports of all the celebrities rumoured to be joining BBC Strictly Come Dancing 2025. Speaking on Radio 1 George joked: "I feel like a lot of people will be saying who?" He then told the hosts it still "doesn't feel real". The YouTuber then told hosts Sam MacGregor and Danni Diston that he'd been keeping the secret for around two to three months – and had to put his plans of a marathon on hold for the show. Following the news that George is joining Strictly, his famous family ties have now been revealed. George is the son of his very successful father who is the main man behind one of the largest film productions companies in Britain. George's dad is none other than Sean Clarke, the managing director of Aardman Animations. The animation company are the mastermind behind Wallace and Gromit and Shaun the Sheep and Sean has worked his way up the company since 1998. Sean now oversees the entire company, managing the executive board and even co-producing several of its most successful films profiting along the way. He came on board in 1998 as Head of Consumer Products, one year before George was born, after serving as Disney's UK Licensing Director. At Aardman, his credits include co-executive producer roles on Early Man, both Shaun the Sheep films, and the musical short Robin Robin. Meanwhile, self-proclaimed nepo baby George keeps the family connection alive, naming his pet mouse Gromit and makes film references throughout his TikToks. George's TikTok account dates back six years but he has spoken about how one particular series on his page in 2021 led to the biggest increase in followers. It showed him trying to figure out the cause of a "beeping noise" in his garage, with the first of those videos now having 2.4 million views. Speaking about the impact of it, he said in an interview for AwayDays that was released on YouTube earlier this year: "People for some reason just lapped it up." George said that he got 250,000 followers in a week from the first video. He shared that his parents had been prepared to support him, even before that success, whilst he pursued a career as a content creator after leaving university. He said: "At that point of my life, I don't really know what I was doing." George, who said that he hadn't shared his TikTok page with family initially, recalled his dad finding his account years ago. He said that they then had a conversation about it, which included him receiving the blessing of his parents over it. In the interview uploaded earlier this year, George said he was told that his parents had noticed he was "doing quite well" on TikTok and recalled his dad saying to him: "We'll happily support you if you keeps going up. Obviously if it starts to tail off you need to finish yourself a job." George said that he filmed the beep series some time after that. His content on the platform now ranges from comedy skits to promotional posts for brands. He also collaborates with fellow content creators like Arthur Hill, Isaac Smith, better known as ItalianBach, and ArthurTV's Arthur Frederick. And earlier this year, George, who has 600,000 subscribers on his own YouTube channel, appeared on the second series of the competition Inside, launched by the Sidemen. The Netflix show invited content creators to take on a series of challenges.

At-home laser device Sabrina Carpenter never travels without for ‘younger looking' skin
Sabrina Carpenter recently gave fans a glimpse at some of her beauty and wellness essentials when travelling, and it includes this skin-rejuvenating tool loved by the A-listers Sabrina Carpenter is certainly having a busy year. Following on from her sell-out Short n' Sweet tour and and headlining London's BST Hyde Park in July, it has just been announced that she has also collaborated with Taylor Swift on the latter's surprise new album, which was announced on Wednesday. We're keen to know how the Espresso singer does it, and stays looking for fresh-faced and glowing with such a hectic schedule – and, after a quick browse of her Instagram feed, we think we've discovered the answer. Sabrina recently posted up a snap or her of herself sitting on a bed, with with a selection of items clearly visible on her bedside table – and one of these is instantly recognisable as the LYMA Laser PRO, a powerful handheld facial tool that delivers a number of rejuvenating benefits: LYMA says that with regular use, 'skin is dramatically transformed, wrinkles are radically improved, elasticity is restored, sagging is reversed, and pigmentation is faded.' The LYMA Lasers – of which there are two varieties, the original and Sabrina's newer, larger PRO – deliver high-tech cold laser technology to the skin to repair and renew it, tackling everything from wrinkles and sagging skin to pigmentation and breakouts. We knew that Sabrina was a fan of the LYMA before this as her facialist has used it on the star before red carpet events, such as the 2023 Oscars and this year's MET Gala. And she's not the A-lister obsessed with this handy tool. The LYMA's fan base is a who's who of Hollywood, including Gwyneth Paltrow, Rosie Huntington-Whitely, Sienna Miller and Naomi Harris. And it's available for us mere mortals to purchase too. While Sabrina's preferred extra-large LYMA Laser PRO costs an eye-watering £4,995, the original is a cheaper (although definitely not cheap) £1,999, with monthly payment options for both also available. Although certainly still a huge expense, it is at the cutting edge of home beauty tools, and may save you money on pricey professional facials in the long run. Other at-home skincare devices proving hugely popular at the moment are LED masks, which deliver different benefits to a laser tool – LED is more for soothing inflammation and boosting collagen production (red light), or killing acne-causing bacteria (blue light). One of the most frequently talked about is the Shark CryoGlow LED Mask, £299.99, with the CurrentBody LED Light Therapy Face Mask: Series 2, £399.99, and UKLASH LED Dual Light Pro-Therapy Face Mask, £199, also very highly rated. You can read our tried-and-tested reviews of LED masks here.

Home and Away star Isabel Lucas debuts hunky new surfer boyfriend - after high-profile romances with Chris Hemsworth and Adrian Grenier
Isabel Lucas has a new man on her arm. The former Home and Away actress, 40, went Instagram official with American film director Cyrus Sutton, 43, on Thursday. The pair could be seen cuddling in front of an idyllic waterfall, with Cyrus going shirtless and showing off his muscles. 'Where dreams rest,' the Australian star captioned the series of romantic images. In addition to directing a series of award-winning documentaries, many of them on the subject of surfing, Cyrus is himself a professional surfer. Cyrus landed an Emmy Award in 2005 for his film, Next Wave: A Tsunami Relief Story. The loved-up pair embraced and shared smitten looks in the carousel of images posted on Isabel's Instagram this week. It's unclear how long the couple have been dating, but friends and fans were quick to congratulate Isabel on the romance. 'You guysssss,' wrote filmmaker Sophie Haber, while model Abigail O'Neill added, 'Oh Isabel!' 'Aw this makes me happy to see,' commented artist Josje Leyten, with Silvana Philippoussis chiming in, 'Magic.' Isabel was last linked to a man named Samuel back in 2023. At the time, she shared a loved-up post to Instagram showing the couple cuddling by the beach at sunset. The Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen star captioned the post with the heartfelt comment: 'How I'm grateful for you. You're a slow burn, my love.' The actress, who dated Chris Hemsworth in 2006 before his Hollywood big break in Thor, is known to be notoriously private when it comes to her love life. She has previously been romantically linked to indie pop singer Angus Stone and Entourage star Adrian Grenier. Isabel has found herself at the centre of controversy in recent years for spreading bizarre theories about the Covid vaccine and 5G technology. She has thrown her support behind Pete Evans, the disgraced chef and conspiracy theorist who used to be a judge on My Kitchen Rules. The Water Diviner star insists she is not against all vaccines, however, just Covid-19 vaccines. Writing on Instagram at the height of the pandemic, the former soap actress said she was 'pro-choice', a term commonly used by people who don't want to be vaccinated.
