Olivia Bowen was forced to spend the day in hospital after an accident. 

The Love Island star, 29, took to Instagram on Thursday to reveal she’d headed straight from her friend’s hen do in Marbella to the hospital in order to get an X-ray on her wrist. 

After sharing a snap in the waiting room she gave fans an update four hours later, revealing she’d broken her wrist.

While Olivia did not reveal how she sustained the injury, pictures from her trip to Marbella earlier in the week showed her wearing a wrist guard. 

MailOnline has contacted Olivia’s representatives for comment.  

The injury will have come as a blow to Olivia who had been preparing to take part in a horse race.

She revealed with fans last month that had ‘a wobble’ during training, writing: ‘I cried to a couple members of the team & to my trainer on the phone. What am I doing? Am I mad for this? 

‘I just felt like I couldn’t do it, the anxiety that morning was crippling, especially for someone who suffers with such confidence issues.’

However, she was determined to get back in the saddle, revealing: ‘I got back on, big girl knickers ON & remembering why I’m doing this! 

‘Look we’re trying to prove that anything is possible as a woman if you give her the tools. So I’m picking the tools back up & I am doing this, no matter how scared I am or how hard it gets. I know I’ll miss it all when it’s over!’

Olivia had recently taken some time out of training to enjoy a family holiday to Barbados last month.

Bad timing: The injury will have come as a blow to Olivia who had been preparing to take part in a horse race

The reality star and her husband Alex Bowen had enjoyed a sun soaked getaway alongside their son Abel. 

Olivia and Alex, formerly a sales executive and scaffolder respectively, soared to fame in 2016 when they appeared on ITV2’s Love Island, where she was an original star and he was a late but popular entrant.

After leaving the villa, their romance soon when from strength to strength and Alex popped the question in New York in 2016.

The couple then tied the knot in a luxurious Essex ceremony two years after meeting on Love Island during the show’s second series.
