ITV Love Island's Mary Bedford in horror car crash that left her 'shaken, cut and bruised'

Love Island star Mary Bedford has revealed she was involved in a car crash that left her 'shaken, cut and bruised'. The 23-year-old, who was a contestant on the seventh series of the ITV dating show, announced the shock incident to her 892,000 Instagram followers on Tuesday evening (September 14).

The former Islander said she was 'grateful to be home' after the horror smash as she shared a picture of her black Range Rover in complete tatters. The influencer's car appeared to be written off as the driver's side of vehicle had fallen to pieces. The airbag had also been activated by the sudden impact.

Sharing the shock incident, Mary said: "Someone must have been looking down on me today... very shaken up, cut and bruised but so grateful to be back home tonight," alongside prayers and a heartbroken emoji.

The model from Leeds joined the 2021 series of Love Island during Casa Amor and lasted in the Majorcan villa on Day 52.

Mary was brought back to the main villa by Toby Aromolaran before he recoupled with Chloe Burrows, with the couple still together on the outside. The influencer then coupled up with Aaron Simpson but the pair failed to make things work on the outside.

After leaving the ITV2 show the blonde beauty was signed by The Social PR, which was co-founded by former Love Island star Scott Thomas, who is the brother of Emmerdale's Adam Thomas and Coronation Street's Ryan Thomas.

Mary has recently been linked to series eight Love Island contestant Jacques O'Neill after the pair were spotted at various events in Manchester together.

The pair sparked romance rumours as they were seen attending Mary's best pal and former Corrie actress Arianna Ajtar's clothing brand event for Mars The Label.
