MTV star becomes blind in one eye after apparent champagne cork accident
A star from MTV's "The Challenge" reality show has lost sight in one eye after apparently hitting it with a champagne cork.
Theo Campbell, who is based in the U.K., shared a selfie on Instagram with a bandage on his right eye. He wrote, "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...But I still have 1 eye left, looking at the bright side of things."
Campbell's girlfriend, Kaz Crossley, spoke about the incident in her Instagram story.
"It was really serious," Crossley said in a selfie video.
Crossley also described how "someone popped a champagne bottle directly" under Campbell's face and the cork went "right into his eye."
Campbell apparently had a gash down the middle of his eye and ended up getting stitches.
"It’s unlikely I’ll see properly again, they done [sic] a good job saving it as they said I might loose my whole eye to begin with," Campbell wrote on Twitter Wednesday.
