Marcel Somerville says he 'nearly died' as he breaks silence from hospital bed

Marcel Somerville has told how he was close to death at the weekend after being rushed to hospital with a mystery illness.

The Love Island star and former Blazin Squad rapper filmed a video from his hospital bed, where he remains to get treatment.

"This is just a message to everyone that has been sending all their prayers and blessings. They don't go missed, I really appreciate them, I really need them right now," he told his followers.

"It's been a very, very hard few days for me. Saturday was literally the worst day of my life and I nearly died but, yeah, just keep sending them my way because I really need them.

"Thank you so much. Big love from Marce."

The reality star had been rushed to hospital after vomiting so hard he passed out, and pals feared he might have contracted deadly Covid-19.

A source told the Sun yesterday: "Marcel has been feeling unwell for a few days and didn't have any energy. One day he vomited violently and then passed out.

"He's been admitted to hospital and has a fever and is still feeling weak.

"He's been in hospital for two days and they're still awaiting test results to rule out coronavirus."

The star showed his hospital set-up as he remains hooked up to wires and drips.

"All the wires," he posted on Instagram, alongside a blue NHS heart.

He last posted on Instagram two days ago before his apparent hospital admission.

Marcel shared a string of posts about the Black Lives Matter movement.

He has been spending lockdown with his stunning girlfriend Rebecca Vieria.
