Former Love Island contestant Ollie Williams has been rushed to hospital following a terrifying fall from a balcony.

The reality-TV star, who first appeared in the ITV dating saga in 2020, is said to be being treated in intensive care for injuries sustained - including internal bleeding, and multiple broken bones, including his pelvis.

Sharing news of his dramatic week to Instagram, Ollie said he'd only just felt secure enough to be able to post about the incident.

The Mirror reports that the 23-year-old said he'd been told he is facing 'tough rehab ahead' but is staying hopeful that he'll make a full recovery. He wrote: "I wasn’t really prepared to post this until I was out of the woods proper, which I now think I am (hopefully!).

"I fell off a balcony last weekend and ended up in intensive care with a broken pelvis, wrist and internal bleeding. With the incredible support of @lauranofer, my family and friends and some great surgeons; I’m on the mend.

"Tough rehab ahead but I am confident along with my doctors I will make a full recovery. I really couldn’t have dealt with this mentally without all of your messages of support, so thank you."

In the photos Ollie could be seen with bandages around his hand a cut to his head. He signed off: "Be back soon, big love and Merry Christmas all."

And Ollie's comments section was left flooded with well-wishes from friends and fans alike, many of whom hoping him a speedy recovery and that he's back on his feet in no time. Charlie Brake, wrote: "Get well soon bud x," while Ben Hughes, added: "Hope you’re mending well buddy!!! You take care!!"

A third, said: "Jesus mate hope your coming through the other side now . Love to you and the family this Christmas," while a fourth, penned: "All the best for recovery, hope you’re doing well."
