All Stars winner Casey O'Gorman has opened up about passing out in the Love Island villa following an injury. Just days before the ITV2 show's live final on Monday night, it was reported that Casey, 28, took a break from filming after sustaining a head injury in the villa. He was said to have also passed out and been checked over by medics.
The islander has now recalled the experience after being crowned the winner of the second series alongside Gabby Allen, 33. Casey took part in a Q&A on Instagram whilst they were on their flight home from South Africa this week. One follower asked: "We need a story time of the pass out incident". Casey responded with a selfie on himself sporting what appeared to be a cut on his forehead. He shared in the caption that he had "hit" his head on a wardrobe in the villa whilst packing and then "passed out from all the blood".
Replying to the fan, he said: "Right okay!! So I was packing my suitcase and hit my head very hard on the wardrobe handle. Started bleeding quite badly and I'm awful with blood ... so then passed out from all the blood. But I'm all okay! Didn't need stitches and I never got rushed to hospital.".
He also posted about the incident on his Snapchat account. Alongside another photo of the apparent injury, he told his followers on that platform: "For those wondering I walked into a wardrobe packing my suitcase before the final. Cut my head open and then passed out because I can't deal with blood.".
Casey and Gabby were named the latest All Stars winners by host Maya Jama in Monday's live final. They were finalists alongside the likes of Grace Jackson and Luca Bish, who placed as the runner-up couple. It comes after Casey's pal Tom Clare won the first series of the show with Molly Smith last year.
Following the final, Casey told fans in a message: "Thank you EVERYONE for the support it honestly means the world and we're still in disbelief. Thank you most importantly to my best mate [Tom] you are one of a kind. Now you can log out of my account.".
Whilst Gabby said in a separate post: "GUESS WHO'S BACK. Ahhhh I can't put into words how shocked, happy, grateful & overwhelmed I feel right now!" She added in her message: "We can't thank you enough for voting for us as your winners, it means the world to us and we're eternally grateful. What an amazing experience and I found what I was looking for [Casey].".
