Love Island’s Theo Campbell reveals he is BLIND in one eye after being struck by a champagne cork in freak accident while holidaying in Ibiza

Love Island star Theo Campbell has lost all sight in his right eye after being struck in the face by champagne cork while holidaying in Ibiza.

Campbell was immediately rushed to hospital following the incident, undergoing two separate operations to salvage the eye – which ‘split in half’ after being hit with the cork.

Taking to Instagram on Tuesday, the former reality star broke the news to followers while sharing a snap of himself recovering in hospital with girlfriend Kaz Crossley.

Horrifying: Love Island star Theo Campbell has lost all sight in his right eye after being struck in the face by champagne cork while holidaying in Ibiza.

Revealing a heavily bandaged right eye, he wrote: ‘Thanks for all the messages and support I’ve got over the last couple days they’re all very much appreciated! 

‘So yeah basically 2 eye surgeries later after a really unfortunate accident, I’ve lost all vision in my right eye as it got split in half, who would have thought a champagne cork would be the end of me. But I still have 1 eye left, looking at the bright side of things.’ 

Theo also thanked girlfriend Kaz, a Love Island contestant in 2018, for travelling to Ibiza immediately after discovering he was in hospital.
