Laure, 44, who has been dating Nigel for six years, was photographed in a sling surrounded by other I'm a Celeb cast friends and family members.
A friend added: “Laure ended up having an accident while surfing.
“It was nothing serious but she headed to hospital to get her right arm checked over.
“She is going to be in a sling for a week or two but she’s in good spirits and is having a great time in Australia.”

Nigel, 59, is down to the final four stars left in the jungle, after Marvin Humes left on Friday night.
He took on the show’s biggest and best final trial, Celebrity Cyclone, with Josie Gibson, Sam Thompson and Tony Bellew earlier today in Australia.
Laure was pictured chatting with Sam's best friend Pete Wicks at the Marriott Hotel in Surfers Paradise, near the I'm a Celeb camp.
Laure arrived at the luxury hotel on Sunday while Farage has spent 18 days sleeping on a camping bed.

Friends and family cohort leave at 5.30am each morning from the Marriott to support the cast - but Laure has not been joining them.
Instead, Nigel's 18-year-old daughter Isabelle has been making the trip.
Laure, a French politician, has secretly dated the Brexiteer since 2017, but has now stepped into the spotlight.
Arriving in Australia at Brisbane airport on Sunday, she laughed as The Sun asked what it has been like living with Nigel these past six years.
Laure, 44, revealed: “Life at home with Nigel is very good.
"The hoovering though? He definitely doesn’t do any of that.
"The one thing he is very good at though is doing the dishes — he’s really, really good at that.”
Camp leader Nella Rose, 26, made 59-year-old Nigel her chief pot washer in the jungle, after he criticised other campmates’ efforts with the dishes.
And Laure laughed: “That is the best job for him!”
The pair met in 2007 when Laure was 28 and working as a waitress in Strasbourg, France.
Sixteen years later, she is backing her man in camp, adding in earlier interviews: “I’m not a secret. I’m here, I do exist and I do support Nigel. It’s very important for me to say that.” Laure has Nigel’s mother onside too.
This weekend, Barbara Farage, who is thought to be in her late 80s, said of Laure: “She’s lovely. She’s a chic, French lady, who is good for him.
“She loves him to bits. She pays him attention and always wants to be by his side.”
Fans will be able to watch the show tonight on ITV1 at 9pm.
Sam will take the jungle crown with a clear margin, according to Sun readers.
The Made in Chelsea lad has won over I’m A Celebrity viewers and will take the win with 35 per cent of the vote.
Our exclusive poll ranks boxer Tony in second place with 24 per cent followed by Nigel in third place with 18 per cent.
The last woman standing, Josie, is only tipped to win by 10 per cent of Sun readers.

It’s a surprise showing for Brexiteer Nigel, who went into the ITV show expecting to be singled out for trials and hated by viewers due to his divisive views and political stance.
The jungle, however, appears to have been a masterstroke for the ex-Ukip boss.
