Holidays are meant to be relaxing, peaceful, and the perfect time to unwind. However, as Welsh Love Island star Liam Reardon discovered eating the wrong thing can turn a holiday into a health dilemma, with the Merthyr Tydfil describing his face as looking like a "melted Welly."

In another Instagram story Liam shared a picture of the raw chicken burger he had eaten. He said: "It's our last few days in Thailand and I ordered a fried chicken burger from the hotel, eat half of it and realised it was completely raw. It's not even a little bit raw it's completely uncooked. The chef defo having a bad day and wanted to ruin someone else's hahah".

On a final Instagram story, Liam posted a photo of his swelled-up face while sweating profusely and said he felt "rubbish". He said: "I'm confused whether I swelled up because of the raw chicken or because I was sticking my fingers down my throat forcing myself to be sick and the pressure went to my head or something? Either way I look horrendous and feel rubbish. I've taken an anti allergy tablet and the swelling has done down a bit. Any advice?"
