“Marcia had a medical emergency and was rushed to hospital,” a production source told East Coast media.

“She won’t be on Idol tonight. Guy Sebastian filling in as judge.”

Staff were understood to be told the issue was related to her diabetes, but other sources told media she had injured her head in a fall.

Hines was believed to be in a stable condition.

Idol host Ricki-Lee Coulter told viewers of Hines’ absence.

“You will have spotted that we are missing someone very important and very special to the Idol important and very special to the Idol family. Unfortunately, Marcia is unwell and unable to join us tonight,” she said.
