Gemma Collins says fiancé Rami may never gain full sight back after horror accident

Gemma Collins says her fiancé Rami Hawash may never get his sight fully back after he was injured in a horror accident at work.

The television personality, 41, says the businessman, 48, is "really shaken up" after he needed emergency surgery on his eye after the incident at his mechanical repair company in Romford.

Gemma says Rami has been left in "excruciating" pain after the procedure as she spoke of how she has been caring for him in-between being on stage in Chicago.

"We hope that he’s going to get the sight back in his eye, but I did reassure him that if he went blind or if he was going to lose his eye, that I’m still going to be with him because you don’t think about all those things," she told The Metro.

"As a man, he’s a good-looking man and he’s had a shocking accident and we still don’t know if he’s going to gain full sight in his eye, plus the eye has dropped down so it’s changed aesthetically.

"But I said don’t worry, I love him with an eye, without an eye, whether or not he gets his sight back. So there’s been a lot going on emotionally as well, but we make sure to support one another."

Gemma has had her hands full playing nurse to Rami, with duties which include bathing his eye, putting blankets on him and making sure there is plenty of food in the house.

After the surgery late last month, Gemma took a close-up shot of Rami's eye which was swollen shut, purple and bleeding.

"It's been one hell of a week good to have Rami. home today (heart emoji)," she wrote. "It's been a very upsetting time for us scary worrying no sleep please Gd he will be ok." (sic).

The reality star also shared a picture of his side profile, which showed just how swollen his eye was.

The Diva Forever star thanked the NHS for their work after he returned home from hospital after undergoing surgery.

The businessman, who runs a mechanical repair company in Romford, had an accident while he was at work.

In her Stories, Gemma took a close-up shot of Rami's eye which was swollen shut, purple and bleeding.

The reality star also shared a picture of his side profile, which showed just how swollen his eye was.

Sharing a sweet picture of herself and Rami, three weeks ago, she posted: "Glasgow to London No SLEEP a break down in the car at the M6 !!! but I made it back to you. our first week apart since dating …. I missed you.

"Also guys just before I left for my tour rami had a very serious accident on his eye and nose at work he needs an operation it’s been a really weird week leading up to my tour!!!

"Also my mum drove into a ceramic plant pot display at the local garden centre !!! If you don’t laugh you would certainly cry !!! we must always remain positive."

Back in December, Gemma revealed she and Rami got engaged again after rekindling their romance.

After sparking speculation by wearing what appeared to be an engagement ring, Gemma let slip in an interview with The Times.

She said: "I’d feel embarrassed now to drive a Range Rover. I have a Discovery, because I’m more muted, now."
