Love Island's Liam Llewellyn taken to hospital as he issues statement

Love Island star Liam Llewellyn told fans his appearances were cancelled after he was taken to hospital.

The 22-year-old found fame on the ITV2 dating show but quickly made his exit after he decided it wasn't right for him. He was initially coupled up with Gemma Owen - football legend Michael Owen's daughter - but made his exit just a few days after entering.

Despite his short-lived television career, he quickly became a fan favourite and racked up hundreds of thousands of followers. Earlier this evening he told his fans he had to make the difficult decision to cancel his upcoming club appearances after he had to be taken to hospital.

Sharing the news on Instagram, he said: "Hey guys, just jumping on to let you know that I was hospitalised last night so I will not be fit to fly.

"Because of this I will not be in Bandon or Riverstick Cork, Ireland this weekend. I’ll be in Cork on the 23rd and 24th, apologies for the inconvenience but will catch you soon."

Liam failed to explain why he was taken to hospital as no further posts or stories were uploaded. On Thursday, September 1, he posted a photo of himself hanging out with fellow Love Island star Ikenna Ekwonna but neither hinted toward anything that could suggest the cause of the hospital dash.
