Derryn Hinch revealed he suffered a horrific accident just before Christmas as he shared photos of his painful injuries on Boxing Day.

Alongside the photo of him and Lynda, he wrote: “I didn’t post this photo earlier because I didn’t want to give bad news at Christmas.”
“I had a fall before Christmas, bumped my nose and as a result both of my eyes were black.

“My cardiologist checked me into the hospital and on Thursday they gave me an electric shock to my heart, which is pretty scary, but it worked,” he continued.
“My heart is back to a regular rhythm and I will see how my breathing improves in the coming weeks.”
Derryn also recently underwent five weeks of daily radiation treatment amid a “pretty serious” battle with skin cancer.
Doctors first discovered melanoma just below her hairline in February and removed it, but doctors were not able to remove the entire area.
He then visited the Peter MacCallum Cancer Center to undergo further surgery to remove the melanoma and is now receiving radiation as “insurance”.
‘It’s not good. “I’ve had two operations on my face and they still have to do radiation,” he told the newspaper. Herald of the sun.
‘The only good news is that they examined a spot I had surgery on about eight years ago on the other side (of his forehead) and that’s clear.
‘I mark each day and once that day passes, it disappears. It’s pretty serious, but as someone once said, that’s life.’
