Love Island star Anna Vakili, who appeared on the ITV2 dating show in 2019, said she was “cried her eyes out” on holiday in Cyprus as she was in “excruciating” pain
Love Island star Anna Vakili was hospitalised in “excruciating” pain on holiday in Cyprus.
The reality star and pharmacist, who entered the villa in 2019, was left unable to walk and had to use a wheelchair during the horror ordeal. Anna collapsed in pain and was unable to eat or move around as she was in so much pain.
The man she was seeing, Cowslick, took her to the hospital as she was in agony, having “developed extreme vomiting, diarrhoea and fever” on the last day of their holiday in Greece. A CT scan revealed her intestine and bowels were badly swollen.
Doctors found that she had inflammatory markers were “so high” after carrying out blood tests, a CT scan and an X-ray. They diagnosed Anna with bacterial colitis, a serious form of food poisoning caused the swelling.
Bacterial colitis is caused by an infection of the large intestine by harmful bacteria and is often contracted by consuming contaminated food or water. Symptoms may include severe abdominal pain, diarrhoea, a fever, a loss of appetite, weight loss and dehydration
She shared some of the hellish experience in a YouTube video of the trip, filmed from her hospital bed and uploaded on her YouTube channel which she shares with sister Mandy. Anna said: “I have unbearable pain in my stomach.
“The doctors told me today that it’s definitely colitis and I’m on the antibiotics right now. Honestly I can’t cope, the pain is so, so bad. This has become a nightmare. Honestly guys, colitis is not a joke, it’s so painful.”
And on her podcast with Mandy, she said she was in “excruciating” pain and struggled to even talk to doctors as she kept throwing up. She explained: “They put me in a wheelchair to take my to the scan because I couldn’t walk.”
Luckily, her body responded well to the IV antibiotics drip and she has now recovered. However, Anna was crying for days due to the pain and suffered debilitating migraines as well as vomiting.
She said she had looked “pregnant” as the bloating from the infection was so bad. The star said that Cowslick was by her side the whole time and was on hand to bring her anything she needed during her recovery.
She even admitted feeling guilty for not getting back with him “fully”. Anna said: “Now I feel guilty because he was there for me so much. I almost feel like the right thing to do is to be with him, and I don’t want to be with him.”
The pair split in March after breaking up prior to this and Anna said she doesn’t want to be in a relationship with him until she “feels safe emotionally”. She said he’s tainted their relationship and “hurt” her in the past but that she ‘loves’ him.
