Love Island's Jessie Wynter spiked whilst on holiday in Chicago with boyfriend Will


Jessie Wynter has informed her fans that she was rushed to hospital after a scary experience in Chicago.
The Love Island star revealed her drink was spiked detailing the 'scary' incident a day after sharing that she'd been hospitalised while on holiday in the states with boyfriend Will Young.

Jessie wrote: 'I wasn't sure if I should post this as I felt so embarrassed but the other night I was unfortunately rushed to hospital after my drink was spiked.

"I was so lucky that I was with Will and he looked after me throughout the whole time especially because it was so scary.

"It was such an awful and scary situation to be in and it breaks my heart that this is something people need to look out for.

"If you're out drinking please always make sure you're with someone who you trust and please be careful when sitting your drinks down or accepting drinks off others.

"It's so sad that this even has to be a reminder but unfortunately it's the harsh reality. I'm so grateful to have been around so many supportive people who got me safely to hospital.

"It was so scary, in the hospital there were other girls arriving in the exact same condition I was in and the nurses said we had all tested with the same thing in our system.

"I felt so embarrassed that this had happened to me and felt like this was all my fault and I can imagine others have been in the same position may feel the same but this is your reminder that this is not at all your fault and it's nothing to be embarrassed about.

Jessie said she felt 'so embarrased that this had happened' (Instagram)

"The people that should feel embarrassed and ashamed are the awful people who choose to spike other peoples drinks, not the victim.

"Thanks for all the lovely messages and I pray that this doesn't happen to any of you out there. I also send love to anyone else who has been put in the same or worse situations."

As well as the revelations, Jessie shared snaps of her body covered with medical patches while she recovered.

Prior to the incident, Jessie was about to embark on her journey home to Australia with her boyfriend Will - whom she met in the Love Island villa.

She told her Instagram followers on Monday that she'd taken ill the day before she was due to leave, saying: "Not how we thought the trip would be ending."

She also shared a snap showing off a bar-coded medical bracelet on her wrist bearing the initial IMC as well as a couple of 3M Red Dot body monitoring electrode pads on her wrist and stomach whilst an assessment was being made.

Jessie, who didn't reveal the cause of her hospital visit, later told her fans: "Thanks for the messages!! You guys are the sweetest! I'm okay now."

She also shared snaps of her and Will earlier that day, writing : 'Our first baseball game We had so much fun at the game!! I can't explain how much fun we've had in Chicago!

"It can be scary going to a new city, let alone country but we both got out of our comfort zones and tried to get out and see as much as we could and we had an absolute blast! Everyone has been so lovely to us while we have been here !!'

She added: "Going to the US has always been on my bucket list and here I am with the love of my life having the best time! I could never have imagined life to be this good. Thank you so much Chicago for the best time everrr!!

"And thank you @farmer_will_ for being my bestfriend, boyfriend and for being by my side & Know matter what life throws at us or where we are, we have each other and I just keep falling more in love with you."

Jessie, who starred on Love Island Australia in 2019 before appearing on the UK version of the show this year, has been travelling around America with boyfriend Will.

Love Island continues on ITV2 and ITVX each weeknight at 9pm.
