Love Island's Molly-Mae Hague rushed to hospital after 'excruciating pains'
Molly-Mae Hague said she was in 'excruciating pain' before being hospitalised.
The former Love Island star opened up on the incident, which occurred after returning from a holiday to Dubai with Tommy Fury. Molly-Mae, 25, and Tommy, 26, enjoyed a trip with their two-year-old daughter Bambi.
The influencer found herself in A&E, with fears of having a blood clot due to lack of movement during the flight. She sought medical help due to pain and swelling in her leg among other symptoms.

In the newly posted vlog, she stated: "Basically, I had my first A&E experience last night, guys. It was so so weird," reports the Mirror.
She indicated that she had "never" been to A&E before and described her recent visit as "the weirdest experience". Molly-Mae added: "Yesterday, I thought I had a blood clot and half of today I thought I had a blood clot in my leg. Obviously flying home from Dubai I was on the plane for like nearly 8 hours and I didn't move as much as I probably should have on the plane. Obviously they say on long flights you need to keep your legs moving, keep walking around. [...] I didn't drink like hardly any water."
Molly-Mae candidly opened up on her recent health scare, revealing that she had been in "mum mode" with her daughter Bambi and wasn't "really thinking". The influencer admitted she didn't focus on "taking care" of herself during a flight and said: "Got home from the flight [and] went straight to bed. So very, very, very limited movement the whole day."
The content creator explained that the following day she had a lengthy hair appointment. Molly-Mae described being seated for "about seven hours" while getting her extensions changed and her hair coloured, noting: "Again, zero movement".

She recounted the moment she realised something was wrong: "When I got up from the chair from having my hair done, I had the most excruciating pain in my leg. [...] It was in the back of my knee, so strong. It didn't feel like a dead leg, it was like a sharp stabbing pain. I had it for about four hours and nothing would shake it."
She also mentioned the pain then spread to her calf, ankle, and foot. Molly-Mae recalled calling NHS 111 and telling them her leg was "slightly swollen" and "felt hot". After consulting with a doctor, she was instructed to "go straight to A&E".
She expressed surprise at how busy A&E was on a Thursday night, expecting it to be quieter. Despite not wanting to "waste" anyone's time, Molly-Mae felt it was important to take her symptoms "seriously".
Molly-Mae revealed that she felt like a "low risk" concern compared to other patients in the queue. After waiting four hours, she was informed that she would have to wait at least another hour for a blood test and then three more hours to see a doctor about the results.
She told her viewers that she decided to leave at that point, sharing that she felt she needed to get home for Bambi and that she was telling herself that the pain "was kind of going". She remembered thinking: "I need to leave, like I can't stay here any longer."

Molly-Mae said she managed to get some sleep and then woke up on the day of filming the vlog to find her leg feeling "so much better" and that the pain "had kind of gone". She wondered if the issue had resolved itself.
However, she then mentioned that at lunch time on the day of filming the vlog she had an "awful dizzy spell" where "the room was spinning". She recalled feeling nauseous and worrying that she would faint.
"I couldn't breathe properly. I was panicking," she admitted. The reality TV star said she returned to hospital and was checked over. Molly-Mae shared: "They said that I'm completely fine. [...] There was nothing that showed them any sort of concern or anything about a blood clot."
She concluded: "I feel fine now." Molly-Mae suggested in the vlog that she wanted to share her experience as she hadn't ever thought about getting a blood clot at her age before but "things like that can just happen out of nowhere".

Ciri Looks Like Her Old Self In New ‘The Witcher 4' Tech Demo
The Witcher 4 When the first trailer for CD Projekt RED's upcoming The Witcher 4 came out, a lot of fans expressed concerns about Ciri becoming the game's protagonist. Some of this was lore-based, with fans questioning how Ciri could become a full-blown Witcher given her Elder blood. Others thought the character model just looked off. I was among these – not because this new version of Ciri was 'ugly' but because she looked nothing whatsoever like Ciri from The Witcher 3, which was kind of strange. She didn't look like an older version of the character, either, as some people claimed. She looked like a different character altogether. Unrecognizable. (And not because she looked more like her voice actor, either, which she does not in either version). In the developer's new tech demo, major changes to Ciri's facial structure reveal a return to a character who looks much more similar to the model in The Witcher 3. She looks a bit older, which makes sense, but there's no denying the resemblance. I bring this up because I think it shows CDPR is willing to make adjustments based on fan feedback, which is a good thing. I'm also incredibly impressed with the new voice actor, Ciara Berkeley, who does a great job playing a somewhat older Ciri. She takes over for the excellent Jo Wyatt. FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder The tech demo itself looks fantastic, but it's important that this is a demo – not actual gameplay from the final game. Just a slice carved off to show the world, polished and primed. It certainly shows off what Unreal Engine 5 is capable of, and frankly if the final product looks even remotely close to this good, I'll be deeply impressed. If it manages to run at 4k / 60fps on modern consoles, I'll do a happy dance (though I'll be playing on PC, naturally). But I remain skeptical, not just because CDPR has certainly let us down in the past (thank you Cyberpunk 2077 launch!) but because I've been doing this for a long time, and I've seen countless tech demos that look far, far better than the final product. They promise the world and then deliver . . . less. But hey, I'd happily be wrong on this count. The game doesn't just look amazing, it has such enormous attention to detail, like the musculature of Ciri's horse, Kelpie, and the thick, living forests using 'nanite foliage' technology. It certainly looks better than those crazy trees in The Witcher 3. The good news is that Epic Games is working closely with CDPR on this game, which should translate into the most efficient and accurate use of Unreal Engine 5 possible. The reactive nature of the NPCs in the market is incredibly impressive, and I wonder if some of Epic's progress with AI in Fortnite will carry over into The Witcher 4. Whatever the case, watching this tech demo makes me want to live in this world. I suspect that when the game finally comes out, I will do just that. If you're looking for more Witcher content in the meantime, I've really been enjoying Viva La Dirt League's Witcher sketches, which are in many ways better than Netflix's series.

French Open: No. 1 Sinner plays Djokovic and defending champ Alcaraz faces Musetti in semis
PARIS — It is unusual to think of Novak Djokovic as not being the favorite to win a French Open semifinal, given that his greatest clay-court rival Rafael Nadal has retired. After all, Djokovic has won three titles at Roland-Garros among his men's record 24 Grand Slams. He also owns prestigious winning head-to-head records against 22-time major winner Nadal (31-29) and 20-time major champion Roger Federer (27-23).

Coco Gauff defeats Loïs Boisson 6-1, 6-2 to reach her second French Open final
PARIS — As popular as Coco Gauff is, she knew full well that nearly all of the Court Philippe-Chatrier fans would be against her during the French Open semifinals Thursday. That's because Gauff, an American, was taking on a French opponent — and one who came from nowhere, 361st-ranked Loïs Boisson.
