Singer Anitta has shown her nasty injuries after she was stung by a jellyfish while swimming.
The 31-year-old Brazilian experienced “a pain like I’ve never felt before” after being stung as she swam in a grotto.
Anitta was exploring the submerged cave in Ibiza, Spain, as she took a break from her European tour.

She showed the red marks the jellyfish had left behind on the right side of her chin and on her right forearm in a video.
She told her 64.5million Instagram followers: “I was attacked by a jellyfish, and I fought with it.
“I’m fine now. But at the time, it was intense. It was a pain like I’ve never felt before. I was literally electrocuted.
“I burnt myself all over while punching it. It was an experience like no other.”
A man at the scene helped the award-winning singer shortly after the sea creature stung her, as reported on What’s The Jam.
Anitta said: “The sailor removed the venom from my skin with a knife. He scraped it off, and the venom came out brown.
“I was laughing and screaming, a mix of emotions. After experiencing pain like that, I feel like I can handle anything.”
Anitta, from Rio de Janeiro, recalled the moment when she realised she had been stung.
She said: “I could feel it coming at my face, at my mouth. My mouth instantly swelled up.”
She didn’t seek medical help, telling her fans: “Everything is fine. It was excruciating pain for about an hour. It was bizarre.”
Anitta took to Stories on Friday (12 Jul) to show how her chin wound was still visible albeit much faded.
She jokingly asked: “Can any of the 728,371,918 jellyfish experts tell me if this scar will be permanent?”
