Love Island’s Marcel Somerville says he ‘nearly died’ as he talks from his hospital bed after passing out – The Sun
LOVE Island's Marcel Somerville revealed he nearly died as he recovers in hospital after passing out at the weekend.
The 31-year-old praised the NHS as he gave fans a video update on Instagram from his hospital bed.
He filmed a series of tubes inserted into his arm before flipping the camera to show his face and expressing his gratitude for being alive.
He said: "This is just a message to everyone that has been sending all their prayers and blessings.
"They don’t go missed, I really appreciate them, I really need them right now.
"It’s been a very, very hard few days for me. Saturday was literally the worst day of my life and I nearly died but, yeah, just keep sending them my way because I really need them. Thank you so much. Big love from Marce."
Marcel, who was a member of Blazin' Squad, had reportedly been sick before falling unconscious and being taken to hospital.
A source told OK! Magazine: "Marcel has been feeling unwell for a few days and didn’t have any energy.
"One day he vomited violently and then passed out.
"He’s been admitted to hospital and has a fever and is still feeling weak."
Marcel and his family are now awaiting test results to see if he has contracted Covid-19 or not.
The source added: "He’s been in hospital for two days and they’re still awaiting test results to rule out coronavirus."
The Sun Online contacted a representative for Marcus for comment.
Marcel posted on social media two days before being taken ill, sharing his support for the Black Lives Matter movement.
