Media personality Carrie Bickmore has left friends and fans shocked after sharing images of a gruesome injury she sustained that left “blood spurting” from her head.
The Carrie & Tommy radio show star took to Instagram to share stomach-churning details of the incident that has left her requiring plastic surgery.
“Walked into the corner of the wall over the break. Looked like a crime scene,” Carrie revealed.
“Blood spurting from my head. Got it glued back together so I could go on holiday with my family the next day. Turns out I have hit a nerve.”
The star went on to say her injury was “healing terribly” and “hurting”.
“Also randomly had a lady drop her carry-on suitcase on my head. God it hurt,” she continued. “Now gotta have it fixed properly by a plastics surgeon. Scars are hot yeh?”
Friends and well-wishers took to the comments section to react to Carrie’s story and photo montage.
“Ouch!! But yeah, earn your scars, it could look sick! I had one on my neck which has become a part of me and a good story. Get better soon hon,” Michelle Bridges wrote.
Former Bachelor star Anna Robards also shared a message, writing, “Hectic. Poor thing.”
Carrie’s mishap comes as is set to make an appearance on TV as part of the Channel 7 show Celebrity Intervention – which has been dubbed as a cross between This Is Your Life and a celebrity roast.
A sneak peek of the program reveals how Carrie’s son Ollie – who is now 18 – confronts his mum over appearing nude in front of his friends while she was heavily pregnant.
While the segment is sure to be light-hearted, Carrie has previously opened up about how seeing her son grow to become a young man impacted her.
“My son is turning 18 and the tsunami of sadness was something I was not expecting,” the mum-of-three shared in a post about his birthday, adding a poignant account of how she thought she had more “tomorrows”.
“We’ve had our last school summer holidays together. Our last drives as an L-plater. Friends are more exciting than family,” the radio personality wrote
“They say you have to let them go to keep them close. I’m not ready to let him go. I have raised him to be independent, to dream big (he wants to be a pilot), to cook for himself, wash his own clothes and empty the bins. I did all this for a ‘tomorrow’ that I thought was a lifetime away.
“But it’s here. My little boy is a man. And I wish I could do it all over again.”
