CBB star in horror injury as she breaks her back and is left bedridden
A CELEBRITY Big Brother star suffered a horrifying injury that resulted in a broken back, leaving her bedridden for days.
Luisa Zissman, 36, opened up about the incident and how it ruined her holiday plans.
Luisa, who came fourth place on Big Brother back in 2014, took to Instagram to share a picture from the hospital with the caption: “Should have been in the Maldives.”
The star, who is also an equestrian, uploaded a horse riding video with the caption: “Can’t wait to ride you again.”
Below the post, she included a selfie in her hospital gown, adding: “current situation.”
Luisa talked about the recent incident on her and Anna Williamson’s podcast LuAnna.
Anna said: “She’s not in the Maldives, she’s in bed, where she has genuinely not moved for eight days,” Luisa interjected saying: “I’ve been in bed for ages,” to which Anna added: “She’s broken her back.”
Luisa went on to explain: “I’ve been in bed for eight days, I am feeling better.
“I’m not in as much pain anymore because I basically have really good meds, all prescribed, but I actually broke my back a year ago and I just didn’t realise it at the time.”
She added: “That isn’t what’s causing my pain but it doesn’t help my situation that you can still see this fractured thing, a fractured back.
“I’ve also got two discs bulging onto two nerves which weirdly is on the left-side but [It’s on] my whole right leg.
“I basically can’t walk that well because of the nerves in my leg – It feels like I’ve got a wooden leg.
“So I haven’t gone to the Maldives because I can’t fly.”
Luisa rose to fame after joining The Apprentice in 2013 where she was a runner-up.
She starred on Celebrity Big Brother the following year.
Luisa finished the show in fourth place.
The star was on the show with the likes on Sam Faiers, Dappy Contostavlos and Ollie Locke.
Luisa was known for her racy antics in the CBB hot tub including kissing Jasmine Waltz after being dared to by Dappy.
