Crossley also described how \"someone popped a champagne bottle directly\" under Campbell's face and the cork went \"right into his eye.\"

Just Wana say thanks again for all the love and support there’s been 100x more then I imagined ♥️. I haven’t had a chance to read all the messages yet but they’re much appreciated 🙏🏽🙏🏽

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.

Campbell thanked Twitter users as well as his 278,000 Instagram followers for the messages of support.

\"If anyone knows where sells cool eye patches let me know :),\" he wrote.
