“It was really hard to watch as she was in a really bad way,” the witness told The Daily Telegraph.

She was expected to appear in a rebooted Packed to the Rafters series this year, but abruptly quit the production in February citing “personal reasons”.

“Jessica Marais has decided to step away from the new series Back to the Rafters for personal reasons,” a statement from her management read.

“She thanks everyone involved on the show for their ongoing support and love, especially her ‘Rafter’s family’, and sends them her very best wishes for the production.”

Marais has previously spoken about her battle with bipolar disorder.

“There’s a history of bipolar in my family and I was diagnosed at one point with bipolar. I’ve had cognitive therapy training, so I choose not to be medicated,” she told The Australian Women’s Weekly in 2014.

Marais has a seven-year-old daughter, Scout.
