Love Island’s Theo Campbell reveals the moment he was blinded in one eye as Kaz claims he can’t fly back to the UK as pressure on the plane will burst the seven stitches in his eyeball
FORMER Love Island contestant Kaz Crossley has revealed that boyfriend Theo Campbell can’t fly back home yet – because his eye stitches may burst.
The two reality stars were partying on holiday in Ibiza when the freak accident happened and Theo was hit and blinded in one eye with a cork.
The brunette beauty has been with her man ever since and she explained on social media why they had to wait until they came back to the UK.
She told fans in a live chat: “The reason he can’t fly is because of the pressure. It could damage the recovery.
“When we’re back in the UK we’re going to go back to a specialist eye hospital.”
She continued: “I told him he’s inspiring – but he’s on a lot of drugs right now!” as he could be heard murmuring in the background.
Theo took the incident in his stride as he captioned the video of it happening on his social media with: “If only I had that guy’s goggles. Prepared.”
The news follows on from their social media beef between them and Kaz’s ex boyfriend, reality star Josh Denzel.
After the 28-year-old athlete’s accident was announced on Twitter, Love Island star Josh appeared to mock it by posting a meme of RuPaul’s Drag Race star Jasmine Masters yelling out the phrase, “And I oop,” after accidentally hitting herself in the crotch while recording a YouTube video.
Kaz then claimed that although he deleted the post, Josh tried to call a truce by privately messaging Theo.
“Sounds about right,” she wrote. “Funny he decides to message a private sob story after he deleted it.
“Luckily Theo couldn’t care less about Josh’s indirects as we have now lost count.”
Josh and Theo have had issues ever since Theo, who appeared in the third series of Love Island in 2017, began dating Josh’s ex Kaz Crossley earlier this year.
Kaz and Josh initially got together on 2018’s Love Island after Kaz entered the show in Casa Amor and they finished third in the final.
But the pair only lasted six months and called it quits in January, with Kaz posting on her Instagram a picture of the two with the caption: “Sometimes things don’t go the way you planned, but you have to be grateful for the journey.”
A month later, Kaz began dating Theo and they were spotted on holiday in Thailand together.
Josh then made a comment on fellow islander Jack Fowler’s post about his ex.
Jack wrote: “Girls that move on before it’s been 3 years after a broke up”, prompting Josh to reply: “Three years? How about three weeks?”
