The Only Way Is Essex star Will Childs has been rushed to hospital after being involved in a 'major car accident'.
Will's sister, Amy Childs, who was one of the show's biggest names, shared the news to Instagram, reports the Mirror.
She wrote: "Someone was looking over my brother. A major car accident, his car is a complete right off.
"Been in A&E but he is coming home. I love you so much Will Childs.
"We have definitely been thrown a lot of stuff our way this year. But we are all here to tell the tale, my family my everything."
The post was accompanied by a photo of Will in a wheelchair.
Will joined TOWIE at the end of the final series, almost 15 years after his sister appeared in the very first episode.
After being cast, an insider told The Sun: "Over the last 15 years, TOWIE has always featured the cast’s family and friends. The cast and producers are happy that Amy’s brother has featured in the upcoming series.”
This news comes just months after Amy Childs revealed that her wedding had been postponed due to her mother's illness.
She said: "It's been intensely stressful. None of us was expecting Mum to have a heart attack – it turned our world upside down.”
"We got the awful phone call from my dad that Mum had a heart attack when we were out there, and we decided to fly home that same night. I was in shock. Mum was at home when it happened and suddenly got this excruciating pain in her chest. She was rushed to hospital in an ambulance and they said she’d had a severe heart attack."
She continued: "It was so frightening. She had a stent put in and was in hospital for six days. She’s now home but she’s being monitored daily and is on a lot of medication. It’s so tough for her – she sometimes struggles to walk upstairs."
