Ouch! Things took a serious turn on the Carrie & Tommy radio show on Wednesday on when host Carrie Bickmore, 40, revealed she had woken up with a nasty eye infection

Before any listeners had the change to call through, Tommy, 35, yelled out: ‘Ah! Oh, my God. Mate, what is that?’

Later in the show, a Hit FM staffer dropped by to take a closer look at Carrie’s eye and took a photo of it to share on the show’s social media accounts.

By this point, the squeamish executive producer because so distressed by what was happening  that she threw up in a bin and left the studio. 

Carrie then said: ‘It’s a horror show… all I’m going to say is it I thought I had a stye, it hurts on the outside like a stye, but it’s a white lump.’ 

Vomit worthy? A concerned Carrie explained that earlier in the day, she had visited a chemist with executive producer Sonder Novak-Booth. 'She almost vomitted in the pharmacy and almost passed out,' an embarrassed Carrie said

After the segment aired, the Carrie & Tommy show shared pictures on Instagram of Carrie’s ‘mangy’ eye, as she chose to describe it.   

Several listeners called in, with a few suggesting it could be a stress-induced stye.

Carrie has not disclosed what is wrong with her eye, but she looked in better shape when she appeared on The Project on Wednesday evening. 

She's OK! Although Carrie has not yet revealed what the cause of the pimple is, she did manage to make into The Project on Wednesday night and appeared to be the picture of health
