Manu Feildel forced to pull out of major event after health emergency
Manu Feildel has explained a recent health scare, after he was forced to pull out of appearing at a major event.
The celebrity chef and My Kitchen Rules judge was set to make a guest appearance at Sydney’s Tour de Cure Spring Lunch at Doltone House on Friday, but was hospitalised before he was expected to arrive.
Feildel took to Instagram to explain his mysterious absence from the event, which was a charity luncheon to raise money for cancer research.
“I wish I could be there celebrating with you, but unfortunately I have to go for surgery tomorrow,” he said in a video message.
Whilst the cook did not say what his condition was, he later posted a video showing his leg in a heavy brace.
Manu’s knee looked especially red and swollen, with dressing across the kneecap.
“I’ve had some surgery done and I can’t cook for myself as I usually do,” he said in the clip.
Fans flocked to the comments section to wish Manu well.
“Look after your leg mon ami!” wrote fellow chef Luca Ciano. “Hope you’re ok.”
“Manu, oh no. What happened?” wondered another follower, while one person quipped, “Too much sauce, and u slipped on it?”
Another concerned fan asked: “What have you done to yourself now? Wishing you a speedy recovery,” while others posted a simple, “Get well soon.”
