Australian Idol judge Marcia Hines shares emotional post after health emergency and provides update on her condition

Marcia Hines took to social media to share a heartfelt post expressing her gratitude to healthcare workers after her collapse Sunday night.

The Australian Idol judge, 70, was rushed to hospital after collapsing on the set of the reality show and injuring her head in the fall.

Hines’ Instagram post assured fans that she was on the mend after the terrifying incident, which she claims was caused by her diabetes.

‘There is no place like home. What an action-packed week. “I have experienced so much care and love at Blacktown Hospital,” she began.

‘I am very grateful to all the hospital staff. From the tireless nurses to the wonderful administrative staff.’

She then thanked the people most important to her, including her family, friends and fellow Australian Idol judges for helping her through this difficult time.

‘Thanks also to Kyle Sandilands, Amy Shark and the entire Australian team for their love. You’re always there when I need you most.’

Many of Marcia’s followers quickly took to the comments section to express their relief that she was recovering.

‘Stay well Marcia, you are a treasure!’ one fan gushed and a second person added, “I’m glad to hear you’re feeling so much better.”

It comes after Hines collapsed in her dressing room before the first part of the Australian Idol final on Sunday night.

After the incident, Hines shared a post on his Instagram page and revealed that he planned to return for Monday night’s final show, which he did.

‘I’m so sorry I wasn’t there with you all tonight. It has been a very intense few days of work and I felt a little bad. “I’m resting now so I can come back to you tomorrow night,” she wrote.

A source told Daily Mail Australia that Hines spent the night in hospital for observation and was discharged the following morning.

She did not appear on Australian Idol on Sunday and Guy Sebastian replaced her as judge.

Host Ricki-Lee Coulter told viewers that Hines would be absent at the start of Sunday’s episode.
