Love Island USA star Olivia Kaiser had fans wincing as she had her broken nose snapped back into place after a “freak accident”.
The former Islander was supported by her co-stars as she shared a video of a doctor resetting the bone, which was split open at the bridge and covered in blood.
Later, Olivia was left with two black eyes covered in purple and yellow bruising, and a huge purple bruise between her eyebrows in a series of painful-looking snaps.

Olivia’s “freak accident” took place when she was appearing in reality show The Challenge: Ride or Die – with her injuries stopping her and partner Horacio Gutiérrez Jr. from completing the competition.
She first sliced part of her finger off during a bola-throwing competition, explaining she managed to “rip the top of her finger off”, leaving “the nerve coming out and hanging – a little white nerve”.
Olivia told Variety: “I thought I broke it because it hit my bone.”
But during a slingshot challenge, Olivia’s hand slipped while trying to hit a target and the ball “ricocheted, hitting her straight in the face”.

She said: “It felt like my nose was literally off my face, crooked. I remember popping my nose back a bit into place because it felt off, so I kind of crunched it back.
“I licked my teeth to make sure they were all there and had an instant migraine.”
Olivia was sent straight into an ambulance, and spent two nights in hospital.
Now, sharing a candid update with her fans, Olivia wrote: “Never be ashamed of a scar. It simply means you were stronger than whatever tried to hurt you.
