Doctors discover bleed on TV star’s brain after he falls into a bonfire

Love Island star Trent Woolman was rushed to hospital after falling into a fire, only for doctors to discover bleeding and a cyst on his brain.

He had to be airlifted to hospital after falling into a bonfire while cleaning a paddock at his sister’s rural property alone.

Trent, 28, who appeared on the Australian version of the reality series, suffered burns to his arms, mouth, and airways.

After escaping the flames, he crawled toward the house, where his ‘amazing’ and ‘brave’ sister immediately jumped into action to help him.

‘Been traumatic and the worst time of my life,’ he told the Daily Mail about his two weeks in hospital, with more weeks of recovery ahead.

The ambulance crew arrived but, due to the extent of his injuries, called MICA intensive care paramedics, who then requested a helicopter.

On the scene in Inverleigh, Victoria, paramedics decided against intubating him.

Once at The Alfred Hospital in Melbourne, he underwent surgery and was taken to the trauma unit, but his treatment was stalled.

Doctors found a cyst on his brain, along with bleeding, meaning his skin graft operations had to be delayed for several days.

He has now undergone the needed grafts on his arms but has ‘a couple weeks’ left to go in the hospital.

Trent is set to appear in the upcoming series of Married at First Sight at the wedding of his Love Island co-star Zac Nunns.

According to the Daily Mail, Zac is going to be a bombshell entry onto the show and tie the knot with a TikTok influencer.

Trent rose to fame on the 2023 series of Love Island Australia, although he admitted before the show that he had a past romance with season four finalist Phoebe Spiller.

He said at the time he thought he was ‘going to marry that girl’ and was ‘disappointed’ when she debuted in the 2022 series.
