LOVE Island star Georgia Townend rushed to hospital last night after slicing through her thumb.
The reality TV favourite was left terrified after she couldn’t stop the bleeding at home and was forced to get help – which resulted in spending the night in A&E.
Explaining what happened, Georgia told her followers: “I hate going to the doctors, hospital, A&E etc, feel like I’m wasting their time but I’ve sliced my thumb right open and it’s been bleeding non stop for quite literally hours.
“I have grown quite attached to it over the years so rather it didn’t fall off.
"I’m currently camped in A&E for the foreseeable, send help, send hugs, send patience.”
She later updated her fans: “Four hours later, all bandaged up.”
But it wasn’t an entirely painful experience, as Georgia added: “Big shout out to my new mates, Charlotte, Doug and Jodie who I met in A&E and spent the entire evening with.
"Pretty much know their whole life stories now.”
Georgia briefly appeared on Love Island last year but returned to her job as a marketing executive shortly afterwards.
During her time on the show Georgia broke from convention and stopped trying to graft the lads after her fledgling romance with Hugo Hammond fizzled out.
While ultimately it led to her being dumped from the island, she remained true to herself and left with no hard feelings.
Although her time in the villa was short-lived, Georgia's popularity soared on her return home as more and more people were introduced to her fun personality through her social media accounts.
There was even a clamour for her to take over from Laura Whitmore as the Aftersun host following an eventful reunion episode.
