Love Island's Tyla Carr has opened up about being involved in a horrific car crash which left her with broken bones and cosmetic work and surgery to her nose.
The star - who rose to fame in the 2017 series of the ITV2 show - was in Mallorca at the time, when she took a turn too fast and ended up spinning her car and smashing it into a brick wall in a horrifying accident.
It left her with a broken finger, a broken arm and she also injured her nose in the crash.
Speaking exclusively to Mirror Online about the crash for the first time, she said: "I was just living in Mallorca at the time and I was driving to my friend's house literally around the corner and they say out in Mallorca that the roads get super, super slippery.
"It's something, how they make the roads and it gets really oily on the top of the road and it rains a lot. So I was driving and I just turned the corner, but maybe turned the corner a little bit too quickly."
She added: "I was in a Fiat 500 and the car just spun out and I went up the curb and drove into someone's brick wall."
"I lost full control of the car. I ended up breaking my wedding ring finger, my arm and my nose pretty badly where I needed an emergency operation on my nose to fix it up," she explained.
She admitted she wasn't sure if the original surgery she had in 2016 was done properly, as she was still struggling with her nose. And with also having a deviated septum, she felt she wanted to get it all fixed once and for all.
Tyla explained: "I'd always had a deviated septum, which is where the middle bit of your nose is wonky since I was born. I'd had that fixed once. And then obviously I had my crash, which had knocked it back out of place. They said they'd fixed it.
"But when I went back for a consultation in England, they said that hadn't been done. So that needed doing and over time where I'd really damaged my bone, it had got bigger and bigger and bigger and there was getting quite a sore lump on the side where even if I was doing my makeup, the skin was so thin where it was so sharp that it would catch and actually cause like a little cut."
She had her surgery done last summer at Transform Hospital Group, which provides healthcare and wellbeing to its clients, specialising in cosmetic surgery, medical aesthetics, weight loss solutions and general surgery.
Since having the procedure, she feels so much better about herself and is "a lot happier".
"Now I just feel so much better. Like I'm a lot happier. I'm a lot happier with the way that it looks. I can breathe better. All around it's really, really helped," Tyla shared with us about her new outlook on life.
