Rebecca Gibney shocks as the beloved actress shares confronting image of black eye following devastating injury

Rebecca Gibney stunned her fans on Tuesday by sharing a painful looking photo of the black eye she incurred several years ago.

The Halifax f.p. star, 58, posted the distressing snap to Instagram, which captures her bruised right eye and stitched up eyebrow as she told fans how the injury occurred.

‘We were going on holiday and we stopped overnight and in the morning I slipped in the shower and smacked my eye on the metal door,’ she began. 

‘Lots of blood, lots of stitches, and years later, a scar. Scars are a reminder of things past. Often traumatic, but always surmountable.’

She then added the permanent scar the injury left served as a reminder of the hardship she had successfully overcome.

‘We move on, the wound heals and we’re left with a gentle reminder of what we’ve gone through. What we’ve overcome. And eventually they just become a part of us.’

Many of Rebecca’s friends and fans were quick to comment on her post.

‘Oooh sh*t, wrote Tina Arena. 

‘Oh boofy… bless your cotton socks and sweet scars,’ added actress Kerry Armstrong. 

‘You are truly inspiring and have the best outlook on life,’ one fan gushed.

‘What a strong woman you are,’ another added.

Back in March, Gibney took to social media to share photos of her amazing weight loss transformation.

The Packed to the Rafters star said she had shed 7kgs in just 28 days after adopting a programme from Melbourne nutritionist Donna Aston.

Re-assuring her followers that her gushing post was not a paid ‘plug’, Rebecca said that the health regime helped her to trim an impressive 9cms from her waistline – and urged fans to try it.

Rebecca lives in New Zealand with her husband of 21 years, Richard Bell and their son Zachary.
