Bianca Gascoigne has revealed she was rushed to hospital after suffering a freak accident on holiday.
The TV personality, 38, was on a golf buggy during her getaway in Turkey when the vehicle crashed, leaving her with a broken ankle.
Taking to Instagram on Monday, Bianca shared snaps of her gruesome injury as she revealed she had to undergo surgery and was left wearing a cast.
Clad in a tiny black bikini, the mother-of-one pouted down the lens for a snap in hospital as she revealed the extent of her injuries.
Bianca also shared snaps of her stitches and X-rays as she joked it was ‘Not quite the break I was hoping for this year.’
She continued: ‘Golf buggy: 1, ankle: 0. . Grateful the crash wasn’t worse and thankful for the lovely holiday memories made.’
‘Very lucky to have the best support network at home to help me ☺️ I’m gonna need it! As they say what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.. #WeMove’.
Bianca shares daughter Blake Sunshine, two, with her ex fiancé Arron Wright.
The couple split after Bianca, who is the adopted daughter of football legend Paul Gascoigne, announced Arron had popped the question during a Thailand holiday in December 2023 – 10 months after the birth of their baby.
This isn’t the first time a dream getaway has resulted in a rush to the emergency room.
In 2018, Bianca was rushed to hospital in Dubai after being struck down with a rare illness.
The Celebrity Big Brother star told her Instagram followers she is currently in hospital receiving treatment for quinsy – a rare complication of tonsillitis.
Posting a photo of herself lying in bed with a PICC line in her arm, Bianca explained to fans she can’t eat or drink.
Bianca was seen lying with a blanket covering her and wearing sunglasses alongside the caption: ‘I have quinsy again can’t eat or drink.
‘Painkillers aren’t helping the pain and I have neck the size of a hippo.’
Bianca had earlier posted a video as she was driven through sunny Dubai, telling her fans: ‘Arrived in Dubai to surprise my brother Mase, then a day later I end up here…’
She then shared a shot of the exterior of the emergency room of the hospital.
Bianca was first struck down with quinsy two years prior, explaining to The Sun: ‘I went to A& E because my throat just absolutely was killing me.
‘They treated it and said it was tonsillitis and gave me antibiotics, but come Monday, I couldn’t breathe and I couldn’t even swallow. It was awful, I felt like I was suffocating.’
It was later confirmed she had been suffering from quinsy – a serious complication of tonsillitis which sees an abscess form between the tonsil and wall of the throat, and was hospitalised for eight days.
She added: ‘I went back to A&E because when I opened my throat they couldn’t see a hole. They told me that’s quinsy straight away.’
Bianca found fame in the Noughties as a model, covering the likes of lads’ mags, Nuts, Loaded and Zoo Weekly.
In 2006, she won Love Island with Calum Best and went on to appear in a string of reality TV shows, including Celebrity Big Brother in 2017, where she finished in sixth place.
Most recently she appeared on Ballando con le stelle, the Italian version of Strictly Come Dancing, in 2021, where she finished in second place.
