The Vamps star Connor Ball drunkenly falls off trampoline ending up in hospital

He was notoriously accident prone on Dancing on Ice back in January.

Now The Vamps star Connor Ball has been hospitalised in Italy after drunkenly tumbling off a trampoline in the sea while on holiday with his bandmates.

Connor had to have three stitches in his chin – but of course, he immediately started drinking again once doctors patched him up.

“It was just stupidity,” he says. “I was having too much of a good time, and I’d had a few drinks.

“There was a trampoline in the sea, and I thought it would be a good idea to backflip off of it.

“My knee went into my face – it split open my chin. It’s symmetrically the other side to where I cut open my chin on Dancing on Ice – I’m going to have two identical scars.”

Connor, 26, had five stitches in his chin during his stint on the ITV series.

He also dislocated a shoulder and injured his knee in a spate of accidents.

This time, bandmate Brad Simpson attempted to reassure his pal the damage wasn’t too bad – despite them both being covered in blood. Brad had to hold my chin together – he could see the bone,” recalls Connor.

“There was blood all over me, and all over him.

“I went to hospital and they stitched it up, but I carried on bleeding all through the night.

“We carried on the celebrations, so my blood was pretty thin.”

The group are on a band holiday – their first ever as a group, ahead of their 10th anniversary Greatest Hits tour across the UK and Ireland starting in November.

“There’s blood all over my bed,” groaned Connor. “We’re in an Airbnb – I don’t think we’ll be invited back.”

Well on a lad’s holiday things were always going to get a bit messy..
