Big Brother star Charley Uchea, who is best known for her antics in the 2007 series of the show, revealed her injuries after a horrific car crash which left her unconscious
Former Big Brother star Charley Uchea has been rushed to hospital after a horrific car crash as she was “left for dead”.
The reality favourite, who shot to fame on the show’s eighth series in 2007, told fans she was “lucky to be alive” after being knocked unconscious in a collision with a truck in the United States of America.
In an emotional Instagram update, the 40-year-old was seen in a neck brace with cuts on her face, admitting she was struggling to move her arms and legs and was in “agony.” She posted a shocking photo of a wrecked picked up truck, writing: “Look at the damage this truck did just by hitting me then leaves me [for] dead on the side of the road.”
She reiterated how fortunate she felt to have survived the ordeal, despite being in severe pain. The crash also forced her to cancel a dream trip to Hawaii for her 41st birthday on 30 June.
“To think we was flying to Hawaii for my bday and now I’m bed bound ‘cause I can’t walk or anything,” she said. “Just in agony. Yes, I’m lucky to be alive but this pain feels like I’m dying.”
In another video shared with her followers, the reality star showed a nurse tenderly brushing her hair, “Bless my nurse brushing my hair out. I can’t really use my arms atm. I’m so weak.” as she is currently too weak to use her arms. Despite the setback, she reassured her fans that she would be “home soon”.
Charley became one of Big Brother’s most talked-about housemates thanks to her fiery clashes with Chanelle Hayes while in the Big Brother House together in 2007.
She was memorably evicted in week eight – only to discover it was a hoax, with Davina McCall offering her the chance to re-enter after revealing who’d nominated her.
In 2023, Charley slammed the ITV reboot of the show, branding it “a load of s***.” Addressing her 251,000 followers, she said “Please stop asking me if I’ve watched Big Brother. The answer is no. Yes, I had a great experience from it and done well but I don’t watch it, simple.”
