Love Island Australia star Anna McEvoy has revealed the details of a shock health scare that sent her husband Michael Staples to the emergency.
Taking to her Instagram story on Wednesday, the reality star-turned-podcaster, 32, shared a photo of Michael sitting in a hospital bed.
Despite being surrounded by a raft of medical equipment, Michael put on a brave face, smiling for the camera and offering a hearty thumbs up.
Captioning the image, Anna revealed that the pair were forced to head to hospital after Michael started experiencing chest pains.
'This guy gave us a scare yesterday,' Anna began.
'He was getting chest pain last night and turns out he has pericarditis.'

Anna finished the post by praising her husband's bravery in the face of the medical emergency.
'Still smiled the whole way through @michaelstaples time for some r & r,' Anna wrote.
Pericarditis is inflammation of the pericardium - the thin double-layered membrane around the heart.
The condition often causes sharp, stabbing chest pains as well as heart palpitations, weakness and shortness of breath.
It can be caused by a viral infection of the heart, a heart or chest injury, kidney failure, some types of cancer, and some autoimmune diseases, while often the causes are unknown.
Anna and Michael's shock medical emergency comes after the couple announced they're expecting their first child together.
She shared the exciting news to her Instagram in November alongside a very sweet video montage.
The footage began with what appeared to be throwback footage of Anna and Michael as children, before it cut to Anna and Michael sitting in their car.
'This guy gave us a scare yesterday,' Anna captioned the post. 'He was getting chest pain last night & turns out he has pericarditis'
'The baby is ten weeks old and 3cms tall,' the podcast host said with a bright smile.
Anna and her beau could then be seen taking a romantic stroll down the beach, hand-in-hand, as the mum-to-be wore a white crop top which showed off her bump.
Anna and Michael got married at a glamorous ceremony at Corfu in Greece earlier this year.
The couple opted to hold their ceremony in May at the upmarket Courti Estate, described as a 'Luxury Corfu Villa' with nine bedrooms for guests.
Anna looked gorgeous in a Alin Le' Kal wedding dress from the Melbourne couture designer.
The couple were pelted with petals after they said 'I do' as the bride carried a white rose bouquet.
'Our wedding day at The Courti Estate was magical,' Anna told the Herald Sun at the time.
'It was the idyllic European wedding of our dreams, that turned out even better than we could have imagined. Michael and I couldn't be happier.'
Anna and Michael, who tied the knot earlier this year, announced in November that they are expecting their first child together
'So overwhelmed with love from our amazing family and friends, who travelled all the way to Greece to support us.'
Earlier this year, Anna revealed on her podcast Where's Your Head At? that her Greek wedding is in fact not legally binding.
'I have a little secret. I have only decided this morning that I'm sharing this secret. Obviously we're getting married in Greece, as you know,' she began.
She then went on to say that because the celebrant she chose for the wedding in Greece is not officially recognised, she decided to actually marry Michael back home in Australia before they left.
