She posted a shocking photo of a wrecked picked up truck, writing: 'Look at the damage this truck did just by hitting me then leaves me [for] dead on the side of the road.'

'To think we was flying to Hawaii for my bday and now I'm bed bound 'cause I can't walk or anything,' she said. 'Just in agony. Yes, I'm lucky to be alive but this pain feels like I'm dying.' In another video shared with her followers, the reality star showed a nurse tenderly brushing her hair, "Bless my nurse brushing my hair out. I can't really use my arms atm. I'm so weak." as she is currently too weak to use her arms. Despite the setback, she reassured her fans that she would be "home soon". Charley became one of Big Brother 's most talked-about housemates thanks to her fiery clashes with Chanelle Hayes while in the Big Brother House together in 2007. She was memorably evicted in week eight - only to discover it was a hoax, with Davina McCall offering her the chance to re-enter after revealing who'd nominated her. In 2023, Charley slammed the ITV reboot of the show, branding it 'a load of s***.' Addressing her 251,000 followers, she said 'Please stop asking me if I've watched Big Brother. The answer is no. Yes, I had a great experience from it and done well but I don't watch it, simple.'
