Geordie Shore star Anthony Kennedy has left fans horrified - after he was left with a broken jaw following an assault while on holiday.
Ant had jetted off to sunny Ibiza with a few pals over the weekend, days after a reunion series for the hit show was announced by MTV, featuring the likes of Holly Hagan, Charlotte Crosby and Sophie Kasaei.
But Ant's getaway got off to a nightmare start when the Newcastle native announced he had been the victim of an "unprovoked attack" on his first night.
Ant left his 65,000 Instagram followers reeling on Saturday morning when he uploaded pictures from a hospital bed, writing "First night in Ibiza.
"Broken jaw in two places, needing surgery. Think I will be going home now thanks."
A follow-up message thanked people for their caring messages and confirmed that he'd been booked in for surgery later in the day.
Then, on Sunday, he gave further clarity, telling his followers "I was attacked by a man and his friend in Lineker sports bar in San Antonio Ibiza! This was an completely unprovoked attack I was simply dancing on a night out enjoying the first night of my holiday. So anyone asking if I have been fighting the answer is no, no I wasn’t fighting, I was brutally attacked!"
The gruesome treatment which led to surgery has left Ant with a broken jaw in three places on both his upper and lower side, wires being put in to keep his mouth shut and a completely-numbed face after nerve damage.
The Geordie said that he "pretty much resembles the elephant man at this point"
He also revealed that he was worried about the potential long-term impact of the incident, writing: "What if the feeling in my face doesn’t come back? it does get a bit much and I’m overwhelmed with emotion but I’m trying to stay positive."
The new series of the hit MTV show has promised to be the “ultimate Geordie throwback” as original cast members return.
The reunion will include a group holiday, a long-awaited wedding and a party in the Geordie Shore house.
A whole host of original cast members are set to return, including Charlotte, who recently announced her pregnancy.
