Sharing an image of her damaged car, she wrote on her story: ‘Look at the damage this truck did just by hitting me then leaves me dead on the side of the road.’

In another story on a black background, she wrote: ‘To think we was flying the Hawaii for my bday and now I’m bed bound cause I can’t walk or anything, just in agony taking strong painkillers.

‘Yes I’m lucky to be alive but this pain feels like I’m dying.’

She thanked her nurse for brushing her hair because she ‘can’t use her arms’ at the moment.

The reality star even shared a video of her before the crash happened, writing: ‘Such a nice night before I ended up in the air lol and knocked out,’ she captioned the video.

The former housemate came 14th on her season of the show, which also featured co-stars such as Chanelle Hayes and Brian Belo. 

Uchea gave her harsh thoughts on the ITV reboot of Big Brother, hosted by Will Best and AJ Odudu in October 2023 after fans kept asking her what she thought about the show returning.

After levelling an expletive at it, she added: ‘Yes I had a great experience from it and done well but I don’t watch it simple, no one I know does either, tbh I don’t really watch tv at all.’
