Love Island star is rushed to hospital in the early hours with 'the worst pain of her life' and admits 'I'm not getting any better'
Former Love Island star Rachel Finni revealed she was admitted to hospital with an eye infection in a candid post on Tuesday. The TV star, 34 - who enjoyed a brief stint on the ITV2 dating show in 2021 - shared the news on her Instagram Stories, describing the pain as the 'worst she's ever experienced'. Posting a video of herself, Rachel said: 'I might as well just say what's going on now... I really think there's an evil eye out there at the moment and it's a whole other conversation, but I am going through it. 'I've been battling this infection in my eye for about over a week now. It is the worst pain, everything I've experienced in my entire life. 'I was even at the hospital at four o'clock this morning. It's an ongoing back and forth between hospitals, GPs, one-on-ones. It's a lot. 'I'm not getting any better. I am suffering, and being sick. When you know you're sick it makes you reflect on life. 'You can even go on my Instagram grid and I've deleted so many pictures. Pictures of me and Rae [her daughter]. 'I just need to protect my peace, my safety, the tangible and intangible, so yeah, I'm going through it but I'll be back.' Rachel featured on season 7 of Love Island, entering the villa as a bombshell on Day 5 before being dumped from the island nine days later. She struck up a romance with Brad McCelland but unfortunately exited the show after he coupled up with Lucinda Strafford. It comes less than a day after one of the current crop of islanders were rushed to hospital after an incident in the villa. Bombshell Jamie Rhodes, 26, who is coupled up with Yasmin Pettet, was sent to A&E in Mallorca, where the show is filmed, after he stepped on a screw in the garden, a report claimed. According to The Sun, medics in the villa said it was best Jamie be sent for further checks and returned later on 'all bandaged up'. A source told the publication: 'Jamie was taken to hospital after an accident in the villa. He stepped on a screw in the garden and after chatting to the villa medics they made the decision to take him to hospital. 'Filming was briefly paused and everyone was really worried as it's quite rare anyone gets taken out of the villa. 'But after the garden was searched for any more loose screws Jamie returned all bandaged up. He was fine to walk - bosses were worried he'd be seen out of the villa and exposed to the outside world but it was actually fine.' The electrical engineer is said to be on the mend and back to filming as usual. MailOnline contacted Love Island for comment about the injury.

Indian court slams influencer after 71 suffer reactions to homemade hair oil
An Indian influencer has been denied bail by a state high court after more than 70 people allegedly developed eye infections linked to a homemade hair oil he promoted. The incident in question took place on 16 March at an unauthorised hair treatment camp in Sangrur city, located in the northwestern state of Punjab. Amandeep Singh, who had over 85,000 followers on social media and owns a salon in Sangrur, is accused of claiming his homemade oil could treat baldness, and applying it on attendees. The attendees were told to wash off the oil after 10-15 minutes as part of the treatment, after which they began to feel a burning sensation in their eyes, as well as redness and swelling on their faces, according to The Times of India. The oil was being sold for Rs 1,300 (£11.42). Local media spoke to several doctors in the area, who confirmed treating patients who had attended the camp the next day with these symptoms and diagnosed them as having contact dermatitis. A week later, it was confirmed that a total of 71 people, of the 500 who attended, had adverse effects from the oil. Doctors also reportedly said that if the oil had affected the cornea, victims could have lost their vision. The police confirmed that no permission had been granted for the camp. In court on 12 May, Mr Singh's counsel argued that the influencer had applied for a patent for his oil and the reactions were because the victims did not apply it correctly. He added that Mr Singh worked as a hairstylist and was trying to help people suffering from hair loss. Denying him anticipatory bail, the Punjab and Haryana high court came down heavily on influencers peddling unverified and untested products, saying: 'This is yet another unfortunate example of internet-famous, unqualified quacks taking advantage of the common man's insecurities.' 'In a bid to meet fickle societal standards of beauty, vulnerable people go to extreme lengths and even undergo risky procedures. The constant pressure to look a certain way often has a deleterious effect on the mental health of children and adults alike,' the high court observed in its order, according to Live Law. 'In fact, in this day and age where social media and marketing agendas so deeply affect one's self-esteem, we, as a society, must endeavour to promote authenticity over curated perfection. 'Advertising tall, misleading claims without scientific backing must be condemned.' Mr Singh is reportedly absconding, and one of his associates has been arrested, according to the Hindustan Times.
