Love Island star rushed to hospital after falling from a balcony in nightmare accident

LOVE Island star Ollie Williams has been rushed to hospital after falling from a balcony.

The 23-year-old, who appeared on the 2020 series of the show before memorably walking out, posted from intensive care.

He wrote: “I wasn’t really prepared to post this until I was out of the woods proper, which I now think I am (hopefully!).👇🏼

“I fell off a balcony last weekend and ended up in intensive care with a broken pelvis, wrist and internal bleeding.”

Referring to his partner, he added: “With the incredible support of @lauranofer, my family and friends and some great surgeons; I’m on the mend.

“Tough rehab ahead but I am confident along with my doctors I will make a full recovery.”

Ollie added: “I really couldn’t have dealt with this mentally without all of your messages of support, so thank you.

“Be back soon, big love and Merry Christmas all ✌🏼.”

He was consoled by fellow Love Island stars including Charlie Brake, who wrote: “Get well soon bud x.”

Ollie – a Cornish aristocrat – appeared on the first ever winter edition of the ITV2 show in South Africa.

He was coupled up with Paige Turley but quit the series after just three days, saying his heart lay elsewhere.

The star insisted he was still in love with his ex Laura and reunited with her after the show – calling it the “gamble of the century” but said it paid off.

They are still together today – with her being thanked by Ollie is his post from hospital.

Ollie also came under fire during his time in the villa when pictures emerged of him posing with dead animals.

He was branded a “trophy hunter” but insisted he had not killed the creatures himself and was doing conservation and anti-poaching work.

Ollie still refers to himself as a “professional hunter and conservationist” in his Instagram profile.

Love Island is set to return next month for a second winter series from South Africa, with The Sun revealing pictures of the villa yesterday.
