Love Island star, Rachel Finni, told her followers she was in hospital at 4am on Tuesday after suffering from a nasty eye infection, which left her in agony
Love Island’s Rachel Finni has revealed she ended up in hospital this week after suffering from what she claimed was the ‘worst pain ever’. The reality star, 34, who took part in the ITV dating show in 2021, explained that she has been battling a week-long eye infection, which made her so sick, she’s been «reflecting on life».
Taking to Instagram, sharing a photo of her eye, the mum-of-one revealed that she was in hospital at 4am yesterday as she updated fans on her health. Posting the video in which she wears glasses, she said: «I really think there’s an evil eye out there at the moment, and it’s a whole other conversation, but I am going through it.
«I’ve been battling this infection in my eye for about over a week now. It is the worst pain I’ve experienced in my entire life. I was even at the hospital at four o’clock this morning.»

Claiming that the experience has made her reflect on life – and remove snaps of herself and her baby on Instagram – she continued: «It’s an ongoing back and forth between hospitals, GPs, one-on-one. It’s a lot.
«I’m not getting any better. I am suffering, and being sick.
«You know when you’re so sick it makes you reflect on life. You can even go on my Instagram grid and see I’ve deleted so many pictures. Pictures of me and [baby daughter] Rae.
«I just need to protect my peace, my safety, the tangible and intangible, so, yeah, I’m going through it but I’ll be back.»
Rachel made her debut on Love Island in 2021 when she was initially partnered with Brad McClelland. However, he soon waltzed off with Lucinda Strafford. The bombshell made a memorable entrance into the villa on day five and was dumped nine days later.
Last year, the reality star became a mum when she welcomed her daughter Rae into the world. Rachel has chosen to keep the baby’s father’s identity a secret but did say what a good dad he was.
In another candid post, talking about the reality of breastfeeding, she said on Instagram earlier this year: «Tell me you breastfeed from one boob more than the other without telling me.
«Wish I could say I was in a baby bubble – more so a pain web!» Praising her Rae’s father, she continued: «I am obsessed with this little girl down [to] the little hairs on her ears and the tiny nails on her toes.
«She also has the best dad in the world and I have the best family and friends.»
