In the caption, she stated that she was just going about her usual day of dropping her two daughters at school and getting her morning coffee fix.

“Sometimes, things don’t quite go to plan,” Sally wrote. “I saw something out of the corner of my eye. It all happened so quickly - not sure if it was a bird or a falling tree branch - but whatever it was shocked me and I jumped.”

“The contents of my cup - a freshly made boiling long black tipped onto my throat and chest, immediately burning the skin right off and causing very deep burns.”

Thankfully, an ambulance ended up being called and the 48-year-old was brought in to emergency for treatment.

The Instagram post finishes on a gratified note as the media personality takes her time to thank the staff who helped her.

“As always our frontline health workers are so amazing. From the ambulance guys to all the doctors, nurses and staff in the emergency room - we are so fortunate to live in a country with such amazing medical help. Forever grateful.”

Some celebrity friends have sent their well wishes in the comments. “Oh honey that’s awful … sending big love,” said actress Rebecca Gibney while Masked Singer Jack Vidgen wrote “Oh hunni i’m so sorry! Thinking of you.”

“Oh beautiful Sal sending you so much love, how scary. So glad you’re resting up at home. Thinking of you as you heal with the next steps,” former Home and Away star Christie Hayes added.

As of the moment, Sally is at home resting. She will be going to consult with a burn specialist to know more about ongoing care and next steps after her bandages can be safely removed.
