Gold Logie nominee Jessica Marais has pulled out of attending this years Logie Awards.
In a statement to The Daily Telegraph, Marias’ management confirmed she would not be going to the prestigious awards due to health reasons. No further information was given.
The statement added that the Wrong Girl star was ‘naturally devastated’
Marais was nominated for the Gold Logie for most popular personality and the Silver Logie for best actress.
The nominations were for her work on The Wrong Girl and Love Child, which have since both been cancelled.
Just last week, Marais opened up about her struggles with mental health.
The Packed To The Rafters star told TV Week: ‘I just think it’s important to talk about depression. It’s nothing to be ashamed of. And the more we talk about it as a community, the more we can remove the stigma.’
Marais has won three Logies in the past, taking home the award for Most Popular new Female Talent in 2009 and Most Popular Actress in 2016 and 2017.
Wishing the star a speedy recovery!
