OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Love Island’ star Ellie Spence “almost died” after impaling herself.
The 25-year-old influencer, who appeared on the ninth series of the ITV dating show, shared graphic images of her injury after her leg was nearly torn off following a drunken night out.
Taking to Instagram Ellie uploaded a few bikini snaps that displayed her scar, as well as pictures of her stitches following surgery, alongside a lengthy post.
Recalling the harrowing moment she almost died as she was just a “tiny tear” away from bleeding out, she wrote: “Around this time just before summer when I was 18, I impaled myself on a steel speared gate and almost accidentally killed myself.
“I’d just finished my A level exams and me and one of my best friends Livvy went out on a night out, we got back to her house in the early hours of the morning and the gate in front of her house was locked.
“After climbing the gate and reaching the top, I put my foot on the bar in-between the spears, my foot slipped and one of the spears impaled me directly in the joint of my leg.
“I somehow spun around and found myself hanging backwards off the gate, 10ft in the air.”
Immobilised by the pain and hanging on by a thread with blood gushing down her leg, Ellie knew at that moment she was going to die.
Adding: “I could barely get my words out from the pain and panic I was in and Livvy had no idea I was impaled.
“After 10 minutes of miscommunicating with each other in complete darkness, my leg had torn from the very front of my joint to the back of my bum.
“I started to pass out from the pain, loss of blood and mentally coming to terms with the fact I just knew I was about to die.
“I gave up and hung in silence and after a few minutes I suddenly heard a voice screaming in my ear to get up, get up, get up repeatedly (I didn’t recognise the voice) and I saw a bright white light (FYI I am not an overly spiritual person so this is still crazy to me to this day) I then immediately woke up and out of nowhere started perfectly directing Livvy and she thankfully got me off the gate.”
Ellie was told on her way to the hospital that she was on the brink of death.
She said: “I was rushed to hospital and told I was 3mm away from my main artery so just one more tiny tear I would have bled out and died hanging on the gate. Livvy is my real life angel and she saved my life that day.”
