Love Island Australia star Trent Woolman, 28, was airlifted to hospital after falling into a bonfire, where doctors discovered bleeding and a cyst on his brain. The incident occurred while he was cleaning a paddock alone at his sister's rural property in Inverleigh, Victoria.
Woolman suffered burns to his arms, mouth, and airways. After escaping the flames, he crawled toward the house, where his sister, described as 'amazing' and 'brave', immediately helped him. He told the Daily Mail that the past two weeks in hospital have been 'traumatic and the worst time of my life', with more weeks of recovery ahead.
Emergency Response and Medical Discovery
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, 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.
Recovery and Upcoming Appearances
He has now undergone the needed grafts on his arms but has 'a couple weeks' left to go in the hospital. Woolman 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.
Woolman 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.
