What happened to Laura Woods’ eye?
Laura Woods has been spotted with a bandage across her eye after a freak accident.
She shared a statement explaining that she was unable to cover the Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk fight after the injury left her hospitalised.
She explained that she sustained the injury while on holiday with former Love Island boyfriend Adam Collard.
The ITV star said she had accidentally smashed a glass lampshade above her head which caused it to shatter and cut her face and arm.
The incident left Laura with injuries surrounding her eye and a large cut on the back of her arm.
On Instagram, she wrote: “Just wanted to explain my absence from the telly for a little while, to be totally transparent and avoid any speculation.
“I had an accident last weekend at a holiday cottage. I swung a pillow and hit a large, glass lampshade hanging from the ceiling above me, which shattered and cut my face and arms, but luckily missed my eye.
“I wanted to say a couple of thank yous, firstly to Adam, for being my hero that day, acting so quickly and not leaving my side since and to his family for taking care of me in a time when I was petrified.
“To my agents Alex Maguire and Matthew Odonohue at CAA who searched for the best help immediately.
“To Dr Yannis Alexandrides and his wonderful medical assistant Zuzanna at 111 who opened their emergency surgery and came in on their days off, they were so gentle and have already worked magic that I didn’t think was possible to reduce the damage.
“I’ve added in the photos from then to now to show that even though it may look rough, it’s such a wonderful improvement already and I’m so grateful.
“It was a hell of a shock and I’ve been a bit sad, but I’m feeling very lucky it wasn’t worse. So a big thanks to my eyebrow too, for taking the brunt of it.
“I’m gutted I can’t cover the fight in Riyadh tomorrow anymore, but wishing the brilliant TNT boxing team all the best. Be back soon xx.”
