Love Island alum Sharon Gaffka has revealed that her brother ended up in hospital recently, with her having warned her followers on social media over the injury.

The reality TV star, 27 - who appeared on the ITV2 show in 2021 - took to Instagram yesterday to share a photo of her younger sibling Adam Gaffka, 24, sat on a hospital bed.

She explained in the accompanying caption that he had sustained a leg injury and added that she was having to push him around in a wheelchair for the time being.

Sharon also took the opportunity to issue a warning to her followers over it, though it was unclear how exactly Adam - who is understood to be a nurse - had injured himself.

Alongside the photo - which was shared on her Instagram Story yesterday evening - she wrote in a message to her: "Make sure you bend your knees when you land kids."

The former islander continued in the post: "Otherwise you'll be like my brother @adam_gaffka, who is now two hamstrings short and has me pushing his wheelchair".

The photo showed Adam sat on a bed in hospital, with a crutch visible in the background. He was seen wearing a black t-shirt and matching pants, as well as a baseball cap.

Sharon is understood to have been with him at the hospital. She was seemingly in the photo - which was a BeReal post - too, wearing a face mask and a grey hoodie.

Sharon rose to fame on the seventh series of Love Island. She had entered the villa on the first day and ended up being dumped from the island almost three weeks later.

Since leaving the villa, she has become a campaigner and raised awareness around drink spiking. She's also expressed an interest in becoming a politician in the future.

She launched her own podcast, titled Girls Know Nothing, last year. The project - described as "a homage to women" - sees Sharon discuss various topics with her guests.
