Love Island’s Ellie Spence reveals horrifying accident that left her leg ‘completely ripped off’

Love Island bombshell Ellie Spence has spoken about a horrifying accident that left her ’30 seconds from bleeding to death’.

The stunner, 25, said she was celebrating the end of her A Levels when she slipped while climbing a fence.

Ellie, who was 18 at the time, said while returning to a friend’s home at 3am she impaled herself on a spike – 3mm from a major artery.

Speaking on the Secure the Insecure podcast she revealed: ‘It was the scariest night of my life and a night I will never ever, ever forget. It has completely shaped who I am.’

‘I unfortunately climbed to the top and in between the spears, I was resting my foot in between the spears, and it slipped, and I impaled myself in like the crease of where my leg is’.

Speaking candidly she went on: ‘It pretty much hung off it backwards and ripped front of my leg right round to the back of my bum and I just completely ripped my leg off.

‘I just remember hanging there in so much pain. So panicked. I mean, adrenaline running, like disorientated, just thinking like, I’m gonna die. And I was just like, I’m just gonna die.

‘Everything was running through my mind, like my mum and dad are basically going to have to bury me now, I can’t believe I’ve done this’. 

She continued: ‘And I just gave up, I just stopped responding to my best friend Livy who literally I owe her my life. And I just stopped responding’. 

‘And I just laid there and just, I just carried on letting my leg rip. And I just Yeah, I just laid there and I was like, ‘yep, I’m gonna die’.

Ellie was dumped from the ITV2 series after viewers voted her and Jordan Odofin as the least compatible couple. 

It comes as Shaq and Tanya’s relationship is put under the microscope on Sunday night’s ‘meet the parents’ episode.

The Islanders were surprised by their family and friends ahead of the final including  Tanya’s mum Polite and her Auntie Cynthia alongside Shaq’s sister Tahira and friend Levi. 

Shaq went off with his family to chat as did Tanya but Shaq had a warning for his new girlfriend as the group came together to meet each other.

The airport security guard then admitted to Tanya and her family: ‘My sister had a few choice words to say!’

When both families meet, Tanya’s Auntie Cynthia remained positive saying: ‘We’ve seen you guys from the start, we’ve seen you grow.

‘We’ve seen you fall out, we’ve seen you pick up the pieces, we’ve seen you make up and to me, that’s love.’

Shaq and Tanya have had their fair share of ups and downs over the two months, being tested to the limit when Tanya brought Martin back from Casa Amor.

Despite already saying she loved Shaq before her mini break away she sent shock waves through the villa with her choice.

After a few days Tanya realised she was lacking chemistry with Martin and couldn’t deny she still had deep feelings for Shaq.

Oh no! It comes as Shaq and Tanya’s relationship is put under the microscope on Sunday night’s ‘meet the parents’ episode

Awkward: Shaq went off with his family to chat as did Tanya but Shaq had a warning for his new girlfriend as the group came together to meet each other

After a public apology in front of the other Islanders Shaq forgave her and they rekindled their budding romance.

During their final date Shaq asked Tanya to be his girlfriend to which she enthusiastically agreed. 

Elsewhere the other Islanders also got to meet each others loved ones.

While relaxing in the garden, Ron and Lana are the first to get a shock as Ron’s dad Rodney and friend Harry arrive, joined by Lana’s mum Rachel and friend Rebecca.

Appearing on the terrace they make their entrance as Lana and Ron run into the Villa to greet them.

Out in the garden Ron’s friend Harry tells him: ‘I can’t believe you’ve got a girlfriend, I never thought I’d see the day.’

Tense: The airport security guard then admitted to Tanya and her family: ‘My sister had a few choice words to say!’

Thrilled: When both families meet, Tanya’s Auntie Cynthia remained positive saying: ‘We’ve seen you guys from the start, we’ve seen you grow’

The time then comes for both families to meet one another, Ron’s dad says: ‘You make a lovely couple.’

Lana’s mum agrees: ‘They do, don’t they.’

Ron asks Lana’s mum: ‘Any hesitations about me, what’s the impression? Be honest, I don’t mind.’ What are Lana’s mum’s thoughts?

Upon leaving the Villa, Lana’s mum and Ron’s dad share a hug as he says: ‘When you see them, you know it’s real, the way they look at eachother you can just see.’

Next to enter the Villa is Tanya’s mum Polite and her Auntie Cynthia alongside Shaq’s sister Tahira and friend Levi.

When both families meet, Tanya’s Auntie Cynthia says: ‘We’ve seen you guys from the start, we’ve seen you grow, we’ve seen you fall out, we’ve seen you pick up the pieces, we’ve seen you make up and to me, that’s love.’

Shaq admits to Tanya and her family: ‘My sister had a few choice words to say.’ What did Tahira say to him and does she have anything she wants to talk to Tanya about?

As Tom catches up with his family, his sister Laura says: ‘She’s unbelievable, you make such a good couple, how affectionate you are with each other, you’re always looking for each other, it’s just so nice to see. I think she’s the one for you.’

Samie asks her mum and sister: ‘Do you like him?’

Samie’s mum replies: ‘He’s so lovely, he absolutely adores you Samie and you really like him don’t you? I’ve never seen you like this, ever.’

As both families meet, they catch up on the day beds talk soon turns to the talent show as Samie’s mum says: ‘Can I just say, the singing, we’re going to karaoke… because I can’t sing either.’

Next in to visit the Villa is Kai’s mum Jill and step-dad Kenneth alongside Sanam’s mum Gayatri and friend Imaan. Sanam asks her mum: ‘What do you think of Kai?’

Sanam’s mum replies: ‘He seems like a pretty amazing person and he said that he will look after you.’

As the families meet for the first time Kai’s step-dad tells Sanam: ‘You look perfect together, I couldn’t have wished for a better partner for him.’
