She continued: “Ended up in the public system playing the waiting game for 1000hrs, Pete’s fingers hanging by a thread and my dignity and patience waning.

“Had to be sent to the psych ward in the end I’d just about had it. I couldn’t cope! Don’t worry, Pete is okay. Fingers now intact thanks to plastic surg and enjoying a lovely cocktail of [medication]. I’ve been tasked with butler duties!” she concluded.

Fans were quick to take to Instagram to comment on the post, with one fan writing: “That is awful. Wishing him a speedy recovery and I hope you’re feeling better too.”
