MARRIED At First Sight Australia's Jessika Power has been rushed to hospital with a mystery illness.
The reality TV star shared a photo from her bed after being admitted to A&E today.
She shared a video on Instagram which revealed the star dressed in. hospital gown and hooked up to an oxygen and heartbeat monitor as doctors kept her under observation.
, 29, remained quiet on the reason for her visit but shared a series of sad face emojis as she wagged her perfectly manicured nails.
It comes after the star revealed she got addicted to the anxiety medication Xanax after filming Married At First Sight two years ago.
Jessika rose to fame on the E4 series, which was originally aired down under in 2018, for cheating on her husband and swapping marriage partners.
The full time Instagram influencer, who originally wed Mick Gould, had an affair with Dan behind their partners backs.
Receiving plenty of "backlash" and being "slammed online" across the globe, Jessika turned to the anxiety medication to calm her nerve.
"I actually had a Xanax addiction and I was drinking a bottle of wine a day," she opened up to actor Louis Strong on his podcast .
"It was after my live breakup with Dan. I had moved my whole entire life somewhere for a man, I was already getting slammed online from the show.
"Then everybody got to watch my live breakup - I was getting all of this, 'You deserved this', as well as the heartbreak."
The star said it was all too much to handle, adding that despite being "really thick skinned" she "really was not OK".
While the show provided counselling services for all the stars, Jessika said she "leant back into her family" to recover from the ordeal.
However, she went on to say that her drinking was encouraged by producers during filming, who would always "have a rum and coke" laid out for her.
"I get a little rowdy and a little bit mouthy on dark spirits and the producers picked up on that halfway through filming," Jessika explained.
"I was the only one allowed to have a rum and coke, and they would have it at my placement at the dinner table when we walked in.
"They just knew the second I'd had a few of those in me and I'm tired and upset, I hate my husband, I'm just going to kick off."
She dubbed herself "young and silly" at the time - but admitted she had learnt from her mistakes and now had "grown up".
