Theo Campbell, one of the stars of MTV’s The Challenge, suffered a gruesome eye injury that has left him without vision in one eye. According to Campbell, he has undergone two surgeries after a champagne cork accident.

“So yeah basically 2 eye surgeries later after a really unfortunate accident, I’ve lost all vision in my right eye as it got split in half, who would have thought a champagne cork would be the end of me,” Campbell wrote on Instagram. “But I still have 1 eye left, looking at the bright side of things.”

Campbell was also a contestant on UK’s Love Island.

His girlfriend, 24-year-old Kaz Crossley, who was also on Love Island, said that Campbell was struck in the eye while partying in the Spanish island of Ibiza when someone popped a bottle of champagne near his eye.

“I currently have 7 stitches in my eye (gross) and the doctors say it’s unlikely I’ll see properly again, they done a good job saving it as they said I might loose my whole eye to begin with,” Campbell tweeted. “But Im hopeful and don’t want to believe my eye is gone forever. Anything is possible.”

Campbell was a contestant on season 33 of The Challenge: War of the Worlds where he finished as the runner-up. It was the 28-year-old’s first appearance on the reality show. He is set to appear on season 34, The Challenge: War of the Worlds.
