A Love Island star was taken to hospital with a broken rib on Thursday.

Bombshell Aaron Waters, 26, shared a photo of his hospital room and a photo of his X-ray scan as he revealed the painful news.

Aaron gave his 92.4k Instagram followers the health update, but did not reveal what had caused the injury.

He captioned his post: ‘A broken rib is not what I need rn..’

The model first appeared on Love Island Australia, finishing as runner-up, and later appeared alongside Jessie Wynter in the British winter series.

It comes after Aaron defended himself against shocking allegations his former co-star Courtney Stubbs made about him in 2023.

The pair were linked for a short period in season three of the Australian series in 2021, and after appearing in the British series, Courtney made a number of damning claims about him.

In a video she posted to TikTok, Courtney said her experience with Aaron on the show made her want to “bawl her eyes out.”

She gets very emotional as she tells her followers how he ‘disrespected’ her during their time together on the show, claiming he physically shamed her and made fun of her cystic acne.

However, since leaving the Love Island UK villa in South Africa, he has spoken out about the claims, saying it never happened and that he is not a bully.

Aaron has even claimed that ITV producers said they would support his claim, but no official statement from the channel has been released.

In the video, Courtney said, “[Aaron] went to Love Island UK and the first thing he wanted to do was get me into his promotion.

“He bullied me, he belittled me, he shamed me, he physically shamed me. He kept telling me to fuck off [and] was silent for the entire show and made it his personal vendetta against me to make sure every man felt the same way he felt about me.”

The pair were linked for a brief period in season three of the Australian series in 2021, and after appearing in the British series, Courtney made a number of damning claims about him.

Speaking to the Where’s Your Head At podcast with Anna McEvoy and Matt Zukowski, Aaron claimed he never bullied his former co-star or made comments about her body or skin.

He said: ‘The video frustrated me because I didn’t do those things, we just didn’t get along, but I never bullied you. Do you know what a bully is? The definition of a bully is not that you can’t get along with someone.

‘When I say in my interview that she is my least favorite woman, I am not dragging you through the mud. It’s about me being honest and being asked questions about my journey and who I was paired with. It’s not dragging someone through the mud or bullying someone.

“We just don’t get along, not everyone gets along with everyone, so it was like… what the f**k?”

The reality TV star said he reiterated his preferences during the show, such as wanting “a girly girl” and someone who “goes to the gym and takes care of himself.”

Co-host Anna then asked Aaron if these comments might have made Courtney feel like he was challenging her and that the whole situation was a “miscommunication.”

He said: ‘I wouldn’t call it a miscommunication. I had a fight with Courtney on the show, we never saw each other, that’s Love Island, you argue with people.

‘But it’s my preferences, I still want a girl who takes care of herself and goes to the gym, but I never told her that [I like a girl with clean skin] I would never have said I don’t like a girl because of her skin.’
