Kate Miller-Heidke Reveals 'Serious Infection' Saw Her Hospitalised Weeks Before Eurovision

Kate Miller-Heidke is now just days from representing Australia at Eurovision 2019 but the Brisbane-born singer has revealed she was hospitalised only a few weeks ago with a "very serious infection which can end in amputation or even death".

Taking to Facebook this week, Miller-Heidke said she was diagnosed with "cellulitis resulting from an infected blister" after returning home from Europe. 

"I was stuck in this bed for the best part of a week (permitted only to limp to the toilet and back)," the Facebook post reads.

"When I realised how serious it was I was pretty panicked and frankly, upset."

Thankfully, Miller-Heidke is back on her feet and is ready to go come next weekend, having completed her second rehearsal in Tel Aviv.

Meanwhile, the singer will appear on ABC's Australian Story this Monday night ahead of the Eurovision contest.
