Former Love Island winner Cara Delahoyde-Massey was left nursing her face with a bag of frozen peas after the family's pet dog headbutted her. Cara suffered a broken nose following the accident involving her handsome pooch Nigel.

The mum-of-two, 31, who won the ITV dating show with her now-husband Nathan Massey, 29, in 206, took to Instagram to reveal her nasal injury. Pictured holding peas to her face she wrote: "Guess whose dog just headbutted her and broken her nose."

And she answered: "Me. The answer's me. For reference Shepherds have very hard heads." She later shared an update to say. "Very swollen nose today thanks Nigel."
