CBB star hospitalised with horrifying injuries after drunken fall

Shared a picture from hospital

Ordinary Boys frontman and Celebrity Big Brother star Samuel Preston is in hospital in Denmark after a drunken night out.

The singer-songwriter posted a snap to his Instagram feed of him in a wheelchair wearing a hospital gown.

Alongside the picture, he listed off all of his injuries – and there are a lot.

The star’s message read: “If I haven’t been texting you back it’s because I fell off a 2nd floor balcony in Denmark and broke my leg in 4 places, pelvis, hip, foot, ribs, shoulder blade, punctured a lung and smashed my left hand to pieces.”

He continued by referencing his most famous single with his band: “I know a wise man once said ‘boys will be boys’ but seriously I drank too much and was careless and please don’t abuse your privileges.

“I think I’m going to do the next 30 years sober.

“Thank you to my gf @loveisenough for flying over to spoon feed me and my mama for doing the same.

“To quote Garth Marenghi ‘it really hurts’.”

We bet it does with a long list of injuries like that.

Preston co-wrote Olly’s hit single Heart Skips a Beat.

After they left the compound, and Preston ended things with his then girlfriend, Chantelle moved in with him and they were married later that same year. They divorced in 2007.

He returned for the final CBB series on Channel 4, Ultimate Big Brother, in 2010.
