Tammin Sursok has revealed a sudden health concern on Tuesday after she visited her doctor for a routine check-up following a spider bite.
The Australian actress, 41, received the arachnid sting on Monday and went in to see her GP the following day to have it looked at and to undergo a standard examination.
But the former Home and Away star’s routine trip to the local medical centre soon turned harrowing when her doctor found something ‘unexpected’.
The saga began when Tammin, who is based in Nashville, Tennessee, told her Instagram followers she was bitten by a spider on Monday.
Sharing an image of a tiny raised bump on her arm, she said: ‘You’d think because I’m from Australia I’d know about spiders.
‘One just bit me. It’s so painful. Do I just do the ring around the spot and watch it?’

Tammin appeared unconcerned by the bite as she already had a doctor’s appointment lined up for the following day to get a routine check-up done.
She shared an update the next day as she sat in the waiting room at her GP, showing the bite had gotten very red.
‘Spider bite update. Went to bed thinking it’s gone away. Pain slightly better. This morning…’ she wrote alongside a shocked emoji.
But Tammin’s news soon got worse just a few hours later when she spoke with her doctor and learned they found something ‘unexpected’ during her check-up.
Assuring followers the health concern was unrelated to the spider bite, Tammin said she underwent an ultrasound to investigate it further but is yet to know the results.
‘Found out some news at the Dr that was unexpected. Thinking positively but please keep me in your good thoughts,’ she said alongside a selfie.
‘Always advocate for your health. Ask for second opinions. Trust your gut.’
Tammin later uploaded a video to her Stories as she sat in her car after the doctor’s visit.

‘So, I just got back from the doctor’s. I was having my routine yearly exam. Very important,’ she said.
‘While that was happening, nothing to do with the spider, they found something a little unexpected. I ended up getting an ultrasound.
‘Don’t really know much more than that. Just being super positive. Thank you for asking. I’m just not going to share anything until I have anything to share.’
The Pretty Little Liars star finished her video with: ‘I’m just hoping everything is all good. Lots of positive thoughts.’
Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Tammin for comment.
Tammin currently lives in Nashville with her husband Sean McEwen who she married in an Italian ceremony in 2011.
The couple share two daughters—Phoenix, 11, and Lennon, five.
