Natalie Bassingthwaighte rushed to hospital after suffering gruesome injury while at her home in Byron Bay

Natalie Bassingthwaighte was rushed to hospital on Sunday night after suffering a gruesome injury.

The actress and singer, 48, revealed on Instagram, she was in hospital because she cut her wrist on broken glass at her home in Byron Bay.

She then shared another video, reassuring fans she was back home after a doctor used medical glue to close her cut.

‘I ended up in emergency because in Byron there are no doctors open on a Sunday night. I cut my wrist on a glass frame that had a crack in it,’ she said.

‘I got straight in and they put anaesthetic in it which killed. A lovely doctor cleaned it up and put a little glue in it and I can’t get it wet for a few days.’

Natalie’s post comes after it was revealed she is set to make her Mardi Gras debut since coming out as queer last year.

The Australian singer is set to dazzle as the star performer and guest of honour at the first-ever Mardi Gras Debutante Ball hosted by Johnnie Walker.

In a night promising to be replete with grandeur, the Voodoo Child singer will take to the stage, performing a medley of her chart-topping hits.

It’s more than likely that Natalie will be joined by her new girlfriend Pip Loth.

The couple announced their romance back in November, when the couple shared a selfie smiling over margaritas.

The post, which Natalie had re-shared from Loth’s account, was accompanied by a heartfelt tribute.

‘Appreciation post for the most incredible woman who is not only giving me strength, support, love and immense joy, but is teaching me to understand and accept that I am deserving of these things and have them within myself too,’ wrote Loth, a stage manager and production technician who identifies as non-binary.

‘She’s teaching me to breathe deeply, to trust and to be my truest self. I am so incredibly lucky and overwhelmingly grateful for you.’

Natalie responded to these kind words with a series of illustrations, including a red love heart, praying hands and a rainbow emoji.
