Gossip Girl star hospitalized after poisonous spider bite

A Gossip Girl star has been admitted to hospital after suffering a venomous spider bite.

In a video posted to her Instagram, Taylor Momsen can be seen being wheeled along a corridor on a hospital bed.

The incident occurred on Thursday (09 April) while she was on tour in Mexico, when a "massive spider decided to take a chunk out of me”, before doctors administered her an antivenom shot.

"The show must go on", she wrote, as her band The Pretty Reckless prepare to support the iconic AC/DC at the Estadio GNP Seguros in Mexico City on Wednesday evening (15 April).
