If you thought Big Brother Australia was dramatic, wait until you hear what happened offscreen. During the Big Brother Australia live show on Wednesday, a fan sought medical help after almost passing out in the crowd during the broadcast.

Thankfully, producers, an on-set medic and even the host, Mel Tracina, sprang into action and made sure the fan got to the hospital safely.

“I just want to post a big thank you to the Endemol Production team last night at the live show. Unfortunately I was on [the] edge of passing out during the show, moved from my spot near the stage and then ended up blacking out,” the fan wrote on a Facebook group.

“The care I received from the team and a beautiful medic by the name of Hannah in a time of panic was second to none. I was taken backstage and a producer sat with me while the medic looked after me, [and] the gorgeous Mel Tracina [came] over to make sure I was okay and then [stayed] with me until I was taken out via wheelchair so I could get to the hospital.”

Other group members sent well wishes and many praised Mel for her kind nature.

“Shows how down to earth and what a legend Mel is!” one person wrote.

“Awww I reckoned she was lovely but this tops it!” another said.

“Mel is definitely a star! She’s been so great as host and on The Cheap Seats,” a third chimed in.

“I’m glad you were well looked after. Mel seems lovely,” another remarked.
