'Neighbours' star has emergency surgery

Erin McNaught had to undergo emergency surgery yesterday after severing her finger in a motorbike accident.

The model and Neighbours star, who played Sienna Cammeniti in the Australian soap, fell on a dirt bike that she was riding and got her hand trapped in its spinning wheel.

McNaught's spokesperson told The Daily Telegraph: "An electronic dirt bike fell on her. She is having a major operation to reattach the finger, reconnect nerves and blood vessels in the finger that were severed in the accident."

The representative added that the Aussie star is "traumatised" by the incident.
