Australian model reveals gruesome injury from 'shooting' accident
The 30-year-old shared a series of photos of her black eye following the accident.
Gabrielle admitted the injury occurred because she opted against wearing protective eyewear.
'Turns out, shooting with glasses might have been a good idea,' she wrote.
Seeking quick remedies, Gabrielle turned to her followers for urgent advice.

'Hello internet! Any tips on how to make this black eye vanish in six hours or less?,' she asked fans.
Just moments before the mishap, the Gold Coast beauty had posted an ominous photo of two arrows missing their tips, along with a cheeky warning: 'I should have known bad things happen in threes.'
Gabby has shared her passion for archery with fans since taking it up in 2023.
In December 2023, she revealed the bizarre request she received after managing to shoot a bullseye with an arrow.
Gabby shared footage of the incredible moment she managed to hit target during her first archery class.
The footage showed the model, beaming with pride, declaring to the camera, 'I'm really good at this.'
While many fans were quick to praise her for her impressive aim, one particular comment stood out.
A follower, clearly more interested in another aspect of her online presence, lamented the absence of 'feet pics' in her recent posts.
'Another day with no feet pics,' they wrote.
'The power of the feet, gives accuracy of the arrow...'
Gabrielle, frustrated with this line of commentary, responded with a plea for no more such unsolicited requests.
'Can I not have one day of peace from ya'll?' she retorted.
With 3.8million followers on Instagram and a huge following on Snapchat, Gabrielle is one of Australia's hottest glamour models.
The stunning Gold Coast native was not always destined to be a model.
In her early twenties Gabrielle, who was also a competitive swimmer in her teens, had her sights set on becoming a vet after completing a biomedical science degree at university.

Dick Diver review – beloved ‘dolewave' band's one-off reunion brings out Melbourne for four magical shows
Dick Diver embodies a time that is both long gone and ever-present. They may have never been a household name but the Melbourne quartet, or what they represent, are a part of the national cultural fabric. Their lackadaisical affect belies the seriousness and sophistication of both their musicality and lyrics, which are unpretentiously and undeniably Australian. The band combine the slacker vibes of Pavement with the bookish lyricism (they take their name from a character in an F Scott Fitzgerald novel) and jangly 'striped sunlight sound' of the Go-Betweens. Releasing three albums and an EP between 2009 and 2015 through the celebrated Melbourne indie label Chapter Music, Dick Diver's encapsulation of millennial malaise under capitalism made them the unwitting leaders of a genre jokingly nicknamed 'dolewave'. The band, and much of the underground music press, bristled but the moniker nonetheless expressed something true: this was the music of the everyman, suburban poetics for the struggles and quiet joys of daily living. Sign up for the fun stuff with our rundown of must-reads, pop culture and tips for the weekend, every Saturday morning For me, Dick Diver was the sound of moving to Melbourne and starting my independent adult life. Living in sharehouses in Richmond and Carlton North, my housemates and I would cycle down to the Tote after working our entry-level jobs to see Rupert Edwards, Alistair McKay, Al Montfort and Steph Hughes play these songs that were somehow about us. Dick Diver soundtracked the changing tides of my life, spinning on a record player or blasting from a stage as I learned how to work, how to love, how to live. It's been a while between drinks: Dick Diver's last shows were in 2018 and, despite the memorable lyric 'Europe's fucked, probably', half the band now lives there. In the intervening years they have busied themselves with other musical projects, including Sleeper and Snake, Terry and UV Race, and undergone new personal adventures, such as raising children. This surprise reunion was initially a one-off but demand ballooned it into a four-show affair, including two all-ages matinees. Despite it being 10 years since their last album, the cheekily named Melbourne, Florida, this is not the typical album-in-full nostalgia show. The sentimentality is there, of course – 'It's been such a treat to learn these old songs. It's been a while since we've been together,' McKay tells the sold-out crowd on Friday night – but you'd be forgiven for forgetting any time had passed at all. It does take a little time to warm back up: the band feels a little subdued at their first show on Friday night, with their signature banter missing, and loud crowd chatter throughout the sprawling Amber – one of their best – dulling the meditative impact of the song's languorous pace and surrealist imagery ('When I was young, I saw a horse in a stream / One day it looked at me and said, 'Get a grip, dreamy, it's the 21st century!'') But the music sounds great and the band remains as tight as ever, with guest musicians on saxophone and trumpet elevating songs such as Lime Green Shirt and Private Number. Band members swap instruments and vocal duties, and it's not hard to see how this ramshackle crew got together and made this magic. By Saturday, with two shows under the belt, the energy is immediately higher. The show kicks off with Alice, a highlight from the 2013 album Calendar Days that sounds like REM's Losing My Religion if it were set in the Northern Territory on a scorching summer's day. The setlist is similar but for the addition of the 'ancient' Flying Teatowel Blues, a strange, epic beast of a song that takes its cues from spaghetti westerns and shows the band's versatility. Sign up to Saved for Later Catch up on the fun stuff with Guardian Australia's culture and lifestyle rundown of pop culture, trends and tips after newsletter promotion The easy repartee reminds us of where we are and who they are. 'Who can recite their CRN number?' Montfort says before the band plays New Start Again, the title track from their 2011 debut album. During the anthemic Head Back, the crowd roars 'burn the flag' in unison – a lyric that clearly captures a mood in 2025. These songs are evergreen. Dick Diver's value today is in more than just remembering the past: here is a band who manage to both embody the larrikinism of Australian culture and provide a howl of truth about what it means to live here, what it means to live at all. A Dick Diver show, rare and special as it is now, is a look both back and forward: things change, things stay the same.

So just what is the secret to Christie's ageless looks? Simple skincare routine Christie has revealed that she likes to keep her skin care simple, and starts every day by exfoliating. 'That's something I've done for the past 40 years,' she explained in an interview with Byrdie. Tips to age well There are a number of habits you can take up to care for your health and wellbeing as you age. Age UK shared the following tips: Do things that you enjoy everyday - whether that's cooking, seeing friends or enjoying a good book Stay hydrated - drink six to eight cups of water a day Eat plenty of fruit and veggies to lower your risk of heart disease and certain cancers, have beans, pulses, fish, eggs and meat to repair your body after injury, starchy carbs for energy dairy to help keep bones strong Manage long-term health conditions to prevent them progressing or having a greater impact on your health Quit smoking and reduce alcohol intake to no more than 14 units a week Make mental health a priority and get treatment for it, as it can also impact physical health Make sure you're getting quality sleep Keep socialising - and call a friend or loved one if you can't make it out the house Be physically active to lower the risk of depression and dementia, heart disease, stroke, Parkinson's and some cancers 'I feel like it's really contributed to my skin feeling fresh and smooth.' The blonde beauty also uses moisturisers with nourishing ingredients such as primrose and almond, to keep her skin feeling supple. In her youth, Christie revealed that she often forgot to wear sun cream. However, she now makes sure to wear it every day, as it is one of the best things you can do to stop your skin from ageing prematurely. No botox Christie has revealed that she is not a fan of Botox, due to bad experiences she has had with the cosmetic procedure. Speaking about her negative experience with Botox during an appearance on The Tamron Hall Show, she said: "I don't Botox. I like the movement. "I like to be able to have expression and move my face. "I only did Botox once and had a bad experience with it and I never did it again." She added that the procedure gave her a "droopy eyebrow". Fillers and laser Despite being anti-Botox, Christie has revealed that she has tried out other cosmetic procedures, such as filler and lasers. However she aims to maintain a "natural" looking face. "I mainly do lasers,' she said in an interview with People. "I don't try to get rid of every wrinkle. "I've dabbled with fillers and I go to my doctor in the city,' she added. "I don't want to look "done" or anything." Healthy diet Christie has been a vegetarian since she was just 13, and eats a breakfast of raw oats with berries and nuts every day. "For lunch, I go into greens and do a salad, then add a protein like a bean or nuts," she told The Cut. "Dinner is more of the same except maybe I'll put my vegetables on a bean pasta, rice, grain, or quinoa." She also limits her sugar intake, but is strongly opposed to dieting. Fitness regimen Christie is a huge fan of fitness, particularly spin classes and cycling. "When I'm in a place where I can get on a bicycle and just go for a long ride, I love doing that, but I also like to jump on a Peloton or to take a spin class of some sort,' she told People. "I do a 20- or a 30-minute class several days a week, and then I'll do some of the floor exercises and arm and core [the other days]". She also previously shared her love of yoga with Women's Health. "Every time I'm doing it, I've got both dogs aiming for my face, trying to give me kisses," Christie said. 6 6 6

I was kidnapped by evil gang who drugged me & stuffed me in suitcase… trolls think I made it all up, says Chloe Ayling
A BRITISH model who was drugged and kidnapped in Italy says that people still don't believe her story. Chloe Ayling has been accused by trolls online of staging her own kidnapping, in a horror which she says "never ends". 3 When the model was 21, she was drugged and kidnapped after travelling to Milan, Italy, for a photoshoot. Upon arriving at the "studio" on that day in 2017, she was driven to a remote warehouse in Truin by Lukasz Herba. Herba was a 30-year-old comuter programmer from Oldbury, West Midlands, who held Chloe hostage for a week. He was eventually arrested and jailed for his crime. However, in a new documentary, Chloe revealed that the horror from the kidnapping "never ends". Despite Herba being jailed for kidnapping her, the model revealed that she still faces backlash online for speaking out about his crime. Some trolls even accused her of making the entire story up. Chloe said: "It is always people who don't know the facts, they judge too quickly and jump in before knowing the full story. "You can never get offended by it really because they don't know." The star later appeared on Lorraine to promote the documentary, where she opened up more about how the doubters made her feel. She said: "I thought it would be easy, I am really not good at talking about my feelings. "I had to relive it again and I got emotional about things I hadn't before." On the ITV chat show, she also spoke about how she responded to the backlash. Chloe said: "I was constantly having to talk about his crazy decisions as if they were my own.
