Love Islands Theo Campbell says eyesight is like looking through stain-glassed window after cork accident

Love Island star Theo Campbell has revealed his eyesight is like looking through a stain-glassed window following a devastating champagne cork accident.

The 28-year-old was hospitalised in Ibiza after a popped champagne cork split his right eye in half but has opened up on the damage and his prognosis.

[The split] didnt go through the pupil, [it went] from the white part to the iris and through again, he said, revealing he had seven stitches but that he was lucky the surgeon could save the eyeball at all.

Speaking on This Morning, he revealed that the sight in his right eye is still gone but he can see light.

Its like looking through a stain-glassed window, its a blur, he said.

You need two eyes to know where things are, distance is hard, he continued revealing that he spilled a jug of water down girlfriend Kaz Crossleys dress after taking her out for dinner and attempting to pour water.

He also revealed more details of the incident, revealing that the freak moment occured when he took off his sunglasses at the champagne party because one cork grazed his eye under the lense.

He took the glasses off to wipe his eyes, and at that moment someone else popped a bottle and it hit him directly in the eye.

It was a bad pain, he said, it was eerie and you just know, its common sense, that it wasnt a good thing.

At first, I thought “no no this cant have happened”, and I hoped it hadnt happened, but there was blood on my hand and security took me to medical tent… she didnt speak much English and she was like “oh my god get him to the hospital”.

It was very painful, you get hit by anything and the pain eases up but it was constant for two days.

Theo will be running a tough 10K race to raise funds for a blindness charity on Saturday.
