‘Yeah wow find out that that I need my wisdom teeth taken out. Hahahahha when I’m overseas of course this happens to me,’ she wrote alongside a video of her giving a ‘thumbs up’ gesture in a dentist’s office.

In a separate story, Shelby thanked her followers for their messages of concern and support while further explaining her ordeal.

‘I am not getting them taken out today,’ she clarified.

‘I have to go to an orthodontist tomorrow for a consult then they will let me know when I can get them taken out.’

The raunchy model then hinted at the stark differences between Australia’s healthcare system to that of ones overseas.

Although she did not find love on TV, Shelby was most recently linked to motorcross star Harry Bink.

In December 2020, she confirmed the two had split in an Instagram post.

‘This is the main question that I have been asked and the answer is yes! Catch up, guys. This was, like, over a month ago that this happened,’ she said in a video post at the time.

She added with a wink: ‘So, yeah, definitely single. Loving life as well.’

One follower asked how she’d been coping with having such a public breakup, and Shelby said she’d been keeping busy.

‘I just have, like, a really good support network, I guess, and I just keep busy, and also the fact that I know I gave 110 per cent in that relationship makes it a lot easier to walk away,’ she explained.
