JAKE Quickenen was rushed to hospital with a terrifying head injury after admitting he jumped into a pool and slipped on holiday.
The Hollyoaks actor shared a photo of his horrifying injury and revealed he needed 25 stitches in his scalp, as he told fans “life is short” and to “be careful”.
He said: “Been quite past couple of days and I wasnt going to post about this but if it can make someone be a little more careful then here it is, so Monday was with sophie laughing and joking and I jumped in the pool as I jumped I slipped and hit my head pretty bad on a step.
“It resulted in 25stitches a CT scan and xrays on my neck which luckily all came back ok, oh and a really nice bald patch, Ive been chilling past couple of days just in the room, its funny instagram can make it look like youre having the best time (which I am apart from this) but I put a photo by a pool or at a restaurant and people think of wow looks amazing not knowing actually I spent 6 hours in hospital because I slipped.
“Im pretty sore and feeling sorry for myself, but as I look back I was so lucky Ill be fine in a week or so after I get the stitches removed, sophie was amazing and looked after me, its scary how one minute you can be laughing and joking and the next in hospital… basically life is short but also please be careful sometimes a little loss of concentration can end badly!”
Be safe much love J, also for anyone thats a gimp and says why you taking a photo in hospital its because I hadnt seen how bad it was so took the photo so I could actually see as its on the top of my head!!!
