Love Island star Jessie Wynter has revealed she was rushed to hospital after suffering from a severe asthma attack.
Sharing the ordeal on her Instagram story, the reality star explained that she was seeking medical treatment after a flare-up had left her struggling to breathe.
"Unfortunately my asthma got worse and turned into an attack so we had to make a trip to the hospital," she wrote alongside a photo of herself in hospital with boyfriend Will Young.
"Currently on my 3rd round of the nebuliser and have been given medication to help with my breathing. Hopefully can get home to bed soon. So grateful to have my beautiful boyfriend here with me."

Earlier on, Jessie had thanked fans in a separate story for their tips on dealing with the condition, writing: "Thanks for all the messages and tips regarding my asthma. Makes me so sad to hear about how many others often go through this.
"Remember to stay safe and to never be embarrassed of having asthma! Make sure the ones around you are aware of what to do if you ever have a flare-up or an attack."
Will and Jessie first met during the 2023 winter series of Love Island, missing out on the final after being voted off by their fellow Islanders just days before the series ended.
Earlier this month Will addressed his relationships with former cast-mates in an exclusive interview with Digital Spy, revealing he had drifted apart from his co-stars since leaving the show.

"To be quite honest, me and Jessie, when we came off the show, we just wanted to focus on ourselves," he said, following the launch of his book For the Love of Farming: Farmer Will's Guide to Life in the Fields.
"Since then, it's quite hard to see everyone as I am juggling so much with the farm. So we're living a little wholesome life on the farm."
For the Love of Farming: Farmer Will's Guide to Life in the Fields is out now. Love Island airs on ITV2 and streams on ITVX. Love Island Games will air on Peacock in the US.
