Vivian Hsu narrowly misses getting hit by shower pipe burst in Singapore home: 'I probably would've broken my ribs or hit my head'

Never take safety for granted, even at home, for accidents can happen when we least expect it.

Taiwanese singer-actress Vivian Hsu took to Instagram on Saturday (Jan 10) to share a harrowing accident that occurred in her Singapore home. The 50-year-old is in the country to spend time with her 10-year-old son Dalton, who studies here.

Posting a picture of her bathroom on her Story, she wrote: "Last night, I was about to take a shower when suddenly, water from the pipe behind the wall exploded, blowing the entire shower head out!"

Vivian mentioned that she was thankfully not standing right where the water burst out — had the water jet hit her at close range, she added: "I probably would've broken my ribs or hit my head."

After turning off the water pressure, she immediately felt thankful that the accident happened to her and not her son.

"The consequences would have been unimaginable otherwise — just thinking about it still sends shivers down my spine," Vivian lamented.

"Before going to bed, I made a deal with the heavens, if something bad is fated to happen, let me take his place."

Using the ordeal as a cautionary tale, Vivian also warned everyone to stay vigilant and not assume they are safe just because they are at home.

Travis Kelce has grown up, says Jason Kelce
Travis Kelce is "changing" because of new people in his life. The 35-sports star has been dating singer Taylor Swift since 2023, and Jason Kelce, Travis' older brother, has been staggered by his sibling's personal evolution. Speaking about his brother's growth, Jason said on the 'Fitz and Whit' podcast: "It’s been staggering, honestly." The 37-year-old star recalled Travis having a Peter Pan-like quality during his younger years. Jason said: "One of the things I love so much about Travis is that he never grew up. He was like Peter Pan, the lost boys." Jason acknowledged that the new people in Travis' life have had a healthy influence on him in recent times. The former NFL star said: "I think that sometimes you get people in your life that maybe get that out of you. That’s a good thing." Despite this, Travis has retained a playful side to his personality. Jason explained: "Trav, he is growing up. He’s still got that youthful enthusiasm. I think he’ll kind of always have that. It’s just part of his personality." Meanwhile, Travis recently admitted to feeling inspired by Taylor during her Eras Tour. The Kansas City Chiefs star admitted to taking inspiration from Taylor, 35, and her record-breaking tour. Speaking ahead of the Super Bowl, Travis explained: "What I saw on that tour last year was pretty remarkable. "To see the week-in, week-out travelling from one country to the next and how excruciating it is on her body and on her mind - and it’s not just her. It was her entire tour. It was an absolute machine and it was something I could admire watching." Travis also revealed that he was focusing on his diet ahead of the Super Bowl. He said: "I’ve been eating clean. I haven’t been drinking as much, a little lower on the pounds this week."
