Charlotte Crosby rushed to hospital with a broken nose after horror accident

CHARLOTTE Crosby has been rushed to hospital after breaking her nose in a horrifying accident.

The reality television star revealed her painful looking injury with a series of selfies from the ambulance and her hospital bed in Cape Town.

She wrote next to the pictures: "It’s all fun and games until you break ya nose."

In the pictures Charlotte can be seen sporting a bloody and swollen nose as her boyfriend Joshua Ritchie laughs in the background of the ambulance.

Another picture shows a tearful Charlotte laying in a hospital bed as she is being monitored with her nose seriously bloody.

The former Geordie Shore star also posted a brief video showing a large bandage on her nose from her hospital bed.

She said simply: "Oh Jesus Christ." as she showed off the extent of the swelling on her nose.

A spokeswoman for Charlotte told The Sun Online: "Charlotte is currently in South Africa working in Cape Town with MTV and filming for series 2 of The Charlotte Show.

"Unfortunately whilst filming this morning Charlotte slipped on the side of her hotel pool and banged her nose fracturing it in three places.

"Charlotte has now been discharged from hospital she is in good spirits and will see a specialist on her return to the UK."

Charlotte recently told The Sun how she is struggling with fame, and her self-confessed addiction to it.

She became one of reality TV's biggest reality stars after quitting Geordie Shore.

She won Celebrity Big Brother in 2013 and is now filming a new series of her fly-on-the-wall programmes The Charlotte Show and Just Tattoo Of Us, both for MTV.

Charlotte is currently dating ex Love Island star Joshua Ritchie

“I need to slow it down soon or else I am going to have a mental breakdown,” she says in an exclusive interview.

“It is really, really hard. The Charlotte Show gets filmed over three months and the cameras are constant.

“The minute I wake up the cameras are in the bedroom and the moment I got to bed, they leave.

“There’s a lot of pressure — I didn’t expect it to be this hard. Because the cameras are so involved in my life I have a fight in my head. It’s a ­mental battle — I don’t have a private life at all.

“Even in Geordie Shore it wasn’t about my real life, it was just a bunch of people living in a house. But this is every aspect of my life, so it is actually quite scary. It’s massively intrusive.

“I get stressed out. I feel like I am going to burst into tears. I ask, ‘Should I be thinking this way?’ I am struggling. I need to slow it down soon or else I am going to have a mental breakdown. But with me, I can’t slow it down.

“It’s like I am addicted. You think, ‘When I get this, this and this, then I’ll be happy’ but I’ve got it all now.

“Now I am searching for the next big thing. I am always looking for something bigger to do. I am sending myself into an early grave.”
