Have you ever found the second you start to relax on holiday is when illness strikes?

Well, unfortunately for Amy Schumer, sickness has caught up with her during her romantic getaway with boyfriend Ben Hanisch.

Yesterday, the comedian was hospitalised after a bout of food poisoning and shared an image to Instagram of her lying on a gurney bed, hooked up to an IV of fluids.

The Inside Amy Schumer star proceeded to post a hilarious video of herself that was reminiscent of the audition tapes for The Bachelor. You know, if all of the dates had been vomiting all night and couldn't keep food down.

In the clip she says: 'My name is Amy. I'm 35. I love grabbing life by its horns and experiencing everything and I love music and food. I really just want someone to share all of that with. So, I'm taking a chance.'

How she can muster the energy to open her eyes, let alone joke after suffering food poisoning is beyond us. 

The woman is a machine.

The post comes a day after Schumer posted a photo and video of herself lying in bed with her fellow food-poisoned patient/boyfriend and her attempt to eat breakfast on the balcony of her Parisian hotel room.

Get better soon, Amy.
