Home and Away star Lynne McGranger – best known for her loveable character Irene Roberts – suffered a nasty fall on Tuesday evening that left her with a bloodied and bruised face.<\/p>\n

The star, who has been on the Australian show since 1993, shocked fans with a picture of her injuries that included sore red scrapes across her cheek, nose and chin and deep cuts on both her upper and lower lip.<\/p>\n

Lynne, 70, explained that it all happened quite suddenly as one minute she was just fine.<\/p>\n

"One minute walking your daughter and son-in-law's dog with your MOG (mother of the groom) Nek minit you\u2019ve face planted the road," the soap star wrote.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The beloved Home and Away actress' post was quickly flooded with comments of support from worried fans.<\/p>\n

One wrote, "Oh my goodness Lynne how shocking! I bet it gave you a shock. I hope you heal quickly."<\/p>\n

"Oh no! I thought it was makeup. Look after yourself, Lynne," added another.<\/p>\n

Others tried to make some light of the situation and commented, "Ouch, now how to write that into the script."<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And Lynne also received best wishes from her co-stars, including Ethan Browne – who plays Tane on Home and Away – who said, "Damn, that looks pretty bad*ss! Hope you're all good though Lynne."<\/p>\n

Lynne shared another image to Instagram just before the accident, where she is seen smiling with her son-in-law's mother with a black dog in her lap.<\/p>\n

Annette, her son-in-law's mother, was quick to comment and make sure fans didn't think she was responsible for the accident.<\/p>\n

"And I promise I didn\u2019t trip or push her. Poor love, it wasn\u2019t a good sight," she wrote.<\/p>\n

Lynne has been a fan-favourite for quite some time now as she's played the iconic Irene on Home and Away since 1993, after taking over the role from actress Jacquy Phillips.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It's thought that Irene was originally written as a recurring character but was soon promoted to a regular cast member shortly after Lynne joined. She is one of the longest-serving stars on the hit Australian soap.<\/p>\n

Two years ago, the star gave some insight into her personal life though and published a memoir Acting Up: Me, Myself And Irene, where she shared her struggles with drugs and an eating disorder.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
