‘A steep stair case + drinks + drugs found in my system that I didn’t put there = Christmas through a straw,’ the reality star continued, suggesting that she’d consumed a drink that was spiked. 

Praising her fiancé, the brunette added: ‘Could’ve been a lot worse so I’m bloody thankful & also for this man [Alex Richards] who is now my live in nurse, chef and just the best career I could ask for [love heart emoji].’ 

Isabelle has had a tough few months, having announced in November that she’d suffered a miscarriage.

‘I was pregnant and then I wasn’t. Miscarriage is so hard… and after experiencing it myself recently and hearing the stories of other women and couples, I realise how common it is,’ she wrote to Instagram at the time.. 

‘I feel that it’s clearly not spoken about openly enough. It’s been a really rough time… the rollercoaster of getting my head around being a mother again and then suddenly having it taken away,’ she added.

Isabelle went on to say she was ‘working her way through it’ with support from her friends and a psychologist.

‘What’s also been challenging is simultaneously supporting myself but also [fiancé] Alex as we process our individual losses,’ she said.

‘We shared our happy news openly with our friends and family early on and we don’t regret this because it’s enabled us to be so well supported as we get through this.

‘I now understand all the amazing women who have been through this and my heart goes out to all of you… wherever you are.’

In addition to mental health symptoms, the Melburnian has also put on 10 kilograms as a result of her PMDD.
