Love Island star Ellie Spence has opened up on how she was "30 seconds from death" after "ripping her leg off" during a night out. The island bombshell, who was 18 at the time, had been returning home after celebrating the end of her A-Level exams. But her night took a drastic turn when she attempted to climb a fence and slipped.
She told Johnny Seifert's Secure The Insecure podcast that the fence "completely ripped her leg off" after it had been impaled on a spear - just 3mm away from a major artery. Paramedics later told Ellie she had been just 30 seconds away from bleeding to death. "It was the scariest night of my life and a night I will never ever, ever forget.
It has completely shaped who I am," said the 25 year old. Discussing the incident, she said: "I unfortunately climbed to the top and in between the spears, I was resting my foot in between the spears, and it slipped, and I impaled myself in like the crease of where my leg is. "It pretty much hung off it backwards and ripped front of my leg right round to the back of my bum and I just completely ripped my leg off." She continued: "I just remember hanging there in so much pain.
So panicked. I mean, adrenaline running, like disorientated, just thinking like, I'm gonna die. And I was just like, I'm just gonna die.
"Everything was running through my mind, like my mom and dad are basically going to have to bury me now, I can't believe I've done this. "And I just gave up, I just stopped responding to my best friend Livy who literally, I owe her my life. And I just stopped responding.
