The reality star rushed to defend her man and hit out at the haters online
LOVE Island's Olivia Buckland has defended her fiance Alex Bowen after fans questioned why he had attended an event following her horrific car crash.
And while fans rushed to wish her a speedy recovery, some questioned why Alex had gone ahead with his scheduled appearance at a club, rather than join her.
When one fan tweeted: "Alex shouldn't have gone to his pa and should have stopped with you."
Olivia responded: "Wasn't going to go A&E at first and didn't think I had a fracture to be honest so we didn't know. Everyone is excited to see him so."
She then attempted to silence the questions by adding: "I urge people sticking up for me I looove you all so much very sweet but your attention is worth more else where trust me."
Alex backed his fiancee online too, as some fans questioned her hospital visit, insisting: "I got you," with a love heart emoji.
Olivia revealed on Friday that she had sustained whiplash and possibly a fracture on her skull.
"Just to let you guys know I did go to get checked today at A&E and I have whiplash standard and may have a tiny fracture on my skull," she wrote on Twitter.
"I am going to watch the swelling and if it goes down it will heal on its own. If not I will go back to get checked again," she continued.
"Thank you for everyone's concern and I just wanted to let you all know I'm ok and hopefully on the mend. No gym for me for two weeks," she added.
Olivia made her way to hospital the day after she was involved in the terrifying three car collision in London on Thursday night.
The reality star suffered a bump to the head in the scary car crash which saw her taxi collide the vehicle in the front, before a van smashed into the back.
A rep for Olivia told The Sun Online that the star opted not to go to hospital on the night because 'she just wanted to get home' but decided to head in for a medical check up on Friday morning because she woke up in a 'bad way'.
The rep explained: "Olivia was in the car when they got hit on both ends. She was shaken up but she didn't got to hospital at the time because she just wanted to get home.
"She woke up this morning in a bad way and she's headed to hospital to get an assessment because she hit her head."
Olivia updated fans about her scary ordeal on Twitter last night as she wrote: "When you're on your way home from an event in London and end up in a car crash. I'm ok thought my baby is coming to get me xx".
As concerned fans reached out , she added: "I'm fine guys Alex has picked me up on way home. I will go hospital in morning to get checked as I hit my head xx"
"Thankyou all for your concern so so lovely I feel fine honestly, I will go in morning if I feel worse. So grateful for my Alex."
However, she made it clear she was not feeling great when she woke up as she tweeted: "Stiff as a board this morning."
She then shared a snap of a badly damaged van involved in the crash as she told fans: "When this goes straight into the back of your taxi and your on the backseat
"Please everyone remember to wear seat belts please."
Olivia announced her engagement to fellow Love Island star Alex Bowen on social media last week.
Alex proposed to Olivia on a rooftop in New York during the pair's romantic trip to the Big Apple.
He confessed of his nerves over taking the ring abroad, he said: “I was nervous at the time. Cause I took the ring on holiday and they checked the bag in customs in front of her. That was the scariest part.”
The pair also have plans for a Katie and Peter style spin-off show after Olivia revealed glamour model Katie Price couldn’t get enough of her.
She said: “I recently met up with Katie Price, she said she watched the show every night and that I was her favourite.
“That was really sweet of her, bless her. I was a huge fan of hers when I was younger. I used to read all her books.”
Talking about plans for a spin-off, she revealed: “We’d be so good on a spin-off.”
Alex added: “To be fair the amount of people that follow us and watch our lives and stuff. A lot of people on Twitter say that we do need our own show and stuff.”
