Jake Quickenden rushed to hospital with head injury after pool accident

This is terrifying

Jake Quickenden was rushed to hospital earlier this week, after he slipped and fell beside a pool in Bali.

The reality star, who was on holiday with his girlfriend Sophie Church, needed 25 stitches in his scalp after hitting his head on a step on Monday.

Taking to Instagram this morning, the 31-year-old shared a photo of the horrifying gash on his head.

He wrote: “Been quiet past couple of days and I wasn’t going to post about this but if it can make someone be a little more careful then here it is, so Monday was with Sophie laughing and joking and I jumped in the pool as I jumped I slipped and hit my head pretty bad on a step.”

“It resulted in 25 stitches a CT scan and xrays on my neck which luckily all came back ok, oh and a really nice bald patch.”

“I’ve been chilling past couple of days just in the room, it’s funny Instagram can make it look like you’re having the best time (which I am apart from this) but I put a photo by a pool or at a restaurant and people think of wow looks amazing not knowing actually I spent 6 hours in hospital because I slipped,” he continued.

“I’m pretty sore and feeling sorry for myself, but as I look back I was so lucky I’ll be fine in a week or so after I get the stitches removed.”

“Sophie was amazing and looked after me, it’s scary how one minute you can be laughing and joking and the next in hospital… basically life is short but also please be careful sometimes a little loss of concentration can end badly!”

Jake rose to fame by appearing on The X Factor, and later went on to appear on huge reality shows like I’m A Celebrity, and Dancing On Ice.

He has since landed a new role on Hollyoaks, playing a builder called Woody.
