Zsa Zsa Gabor's husband glued his eye shut yesterday (21.12.10).

Prince Frederic von Anhalt, who has been married to the Hungarian-born actress for 24 years, had to receive emergency medical treatment at a Beverly Hills clinic after mistaking nail glue for eye drops and must now wear a patch for two weeks.

The couple's publicist John Blanchette said: "It was dark and he grabbed his wife's nail glue instead of eye drops."

Prince Frederic added: "It was stupid. She doesn't use it anymore."

This is not the first time the 66-year-old German socialite – who is 93-year-old Zsa Zsa’s ninth husband – has been hospitalised with a bizarre injury in recent months.

In October, he needed medical assistance after accidentally swallowing a bee, which stung the inside of his throat.

Zsa Zsa has been plagued with ill health this year after falling out of bed and undergoing a hip replacement operation in July.

At one point, a priest was called in to read the star her last rites.

Prince Frederick has previously revealed he wants his wife's body to be plastinated and put on show when she dies so her beauty will last forever.

He said: "My wife has always dreamt that her beauty would be immortal. I would like to show the plastinated body of Zsa Zsa Gabor in the context of a scene in one of her films."
