He had to be flown to hospital in Melbourne where he has already spent two weeks fighting for life as a result of the bizarre incident.<\/p>\n
But now, the reality star has provided fans with a major update since the near fatal accident – including a very graphic personal hygiene detail.<\/p>\n
In his first Instagram post since the ordeal, the unfortunate television star paid tribute to his loved ones and medical professionals for their support.<\/p>\n
\u201cLife is difficult sometimes, but how fkn [sic] lucky am I to have the most incredible family and friends by my side \u2013 genuinely the most amazing people and I am beyond thankful,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo the Alfred hospital, every nurse, surgeon, all the ambulance services and every other person involved, thank you. You are true legends of the world.<\/p>\n
\u201cA very tough few weeks, but [I am] incredibly grateful and can\u2019t thank everyone for the messages and support.\u201d<\/p>\n
The 28-year-old went on to give a very graphic description of the lengths his family members have gone to as they help is long road to recovery.<\/p>\n
\u201cSorry to mum for wiping my bottom, and Zac for rubbing thy [sic] lotion on all thy [sic] legs,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n
His post was accompanied by the first photographs made public of him since the shocking incident \u2013 showing his face heavily bandaged.<\/p>\n
In recent weeks he has undergone skin graft surgery to repair the burns he suffered.<\/p>\n
It happened at his sister\u2019s rural Victorian home and resulted in him also suffering bleeding on his brain.<\/p>\n
Speaking from hospital earlier this week, he told the Daily Mail the incident was \u201ctraumatic\u201d and that he was suffering \u201cthe worst time\u201d of his life.<\/p>\n
He said he was sober when the accident happened and working alone in the paddock of his sister\u2019s property in Inverleigh.<\/p>\n
Woolman appeared as a contestant in the fifth season of the reality dating show, which aired in October 2023.<\/p>\n
He lasted 22 days on the island, before being dumped after a new contestant chose to steal his on-screen partner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former Love Island Australia star Trent Woolman has revealed a very graphic update in his first Instagram post…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":939126,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[505463,505470,505446,505445,397383,405855,505483,378768,505449,380260,505453,505486,505480,505441,505468,64,63,13534,505476,447,505466,379476,134,505474,505484,1635,505475,505456,9371,109487,505467,505448,380017,505471,505442,505451,444483,414301,505461,455695,388181,4082,505482,8280,505481,505458,38898,647,46358,505485,436146,187436,505464,28813,382528,9489,390300,2349,505477,14843,376810,450351,42586,505473,505455,227529,505443,505460,505452,377724,383278,377297,505478,505459,505444,505462,381637,492511,505457,387046,505472,389184,505479,54798,505465,389190,505447,505469,505454,9119,505450,51712,381069,28790],"class_list":["post-939125","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-s-bonfire-horror","tag-s-property","tag-s-rural-victorian-home","tag-22-days","tag-a-bonfire","tag-a-contestant","tag-a-freak-bonfire-accident","tag-a-major-update","tag-a-new-contestant","tag-a-result","tag-a-very-graphic-description","tag-a-very-graphic-personal-hygiene-detail-in","tag-a-very-graphic-update","tag-a-very-tough-few-weeks","tag-all-the-ambulance-services","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-bleeding","tag-bonfire-horror","tag-celebrities","tag-earlier-this-month-he","tag-earlier-this-week","tag-entertainment","tag-every-nurse","tag-every-other-person","tag-fans","tag-fkn-sic","tag-former-love-island-australia-star-trent-woolman","tag-friends","tag-graphic","tag-graphic-update","tag-his-brain-speaking","tag-his-face","tag-his-family-members","tag-his-first-instagram-post","tag-his-freak-bonfire-accident","tag-his-life-he","tag-his-loved-ones","tag-his-on-screen-partner","tag-his-post","tag-his-sister","tag-hospital","tag-inverleigh-woolman","tag-life","tag-long-road","tag-love-island-star-trent-woolman","tag-medical-professionals","tag-melbourne","tag-mum","tag-my-bottom","tag-my-side","tag-newswire-news","tag-october-2023-he","tag-public","tag-recent-weeks","tag-recovery","tag-severe-injuries","tag-show","tag-skin-graft-surgery","tag-surgeon","tag-the-28-year-old","tag-the-accident","tag-the-alfred-hospital","tag-the-bizarre-incident-but","tag-the-burns","tag-the-daily-mail","tag-the-fifth-season","tag-the-first-photographs","tag-the-former-love-island-star","tag-the-incident","tag-the-island","tag-the-lengths","tag-the-messages-and-support","tag-the-most-amazing-people","tag-the-most-incredible-family","tag-the-near-fatal-accident","tag-the-ordeal","tag-the-paddock","tag-the-reality-dating","tag-the-reality-star","tag-the-season-five-islander","tag-the-shocking-incident","tag-the-unfortunate-television-star","tag-the-world","tag-the-worst-time","tag-their-support","tag-third-degree-burns","tag-thy-sic-legs","tag-thy-sic-lotion","tag-tribute","tag-true-legends","tag-tv-star","tag-two-weeks","tag-zac"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/939125","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=939125"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/939125\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/939126"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=939125"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=939125"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=939125"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
