Big Brother star is rushed to hospital with painful injuries after being 'left for dead' in shock car crash
Big Brother star Charley Uchea has been rushed to hospital after allegedly being 'left for dead' in a shocking car crash. The reality TV star, 40, took to her Instagram Stories on Wednesday to detail the shocking incident, telling fans she had been hit by a truck. She got into the crash after spending the evening out and claimed that she was 'left for dead' on the side of the road after being 'knocked out'. Charley, who rose to fame on Big Brother's eighth series in 2007, shared a video of herself in hospital wearing a neck brace. She had painful-looking red injuries across her eyebrow and cheek and claimed she could barely use her arms following the crash. She penned in a caption: 'Bless my nurse brushing my hair out, I can't really use my arms atm I'm so weak.' The reality TV star, 40, took to her Instagram Stories on Wednesday to detail the shocking incident, telling fans she had been hit by a truck Alongside another picture of a smashed-up car, she added: 'Look at the damage this truck did just by hitting me, then leaves me [for] dead on the side of the road.' Charley also shared a photograph of herself out on the town before the crash and penned: 'Such a nice night before I ended up in the air lol and knocked out.' Charley, who celebrated her 40th birthday just days before on June 30, reassured her 251,000 followers that she would be 'home soon'. MailOnline has contacted Charley for further comment. Charley is best known for her 2007 Big Brother stint in the same year that Brian Belo was crowned the winner. She survived eviction until week eight, and was famously argumentative; rowing with Chanelle Hayes for ten minutes about how old Rihanna was. Charley was also attacked with a racist slur by fellow housemate Emily Parr, who was aged 19 at the time. Emily was ejected from the house in the early hours of the morning after she was heard using the slur to Charley while they were chatting in the garden hours before. Both Charley and Nicky Maxwell, who was also present, were stunned at her use of the word however Emily swiftly insisted it 'was a joke'. She was later called to the diary room and told of her ejection by Big Brother. At the time of Emily's removal, Head of the Big Brother commissioning team at Channel 4, Angela Jain, said after the incident: 'In the wake of Celebrity Big Brother, we must consider the potential offence to viewers regardless of Emily's intentions and her housemates' response. 'The word is clearly racially offensive and there was no justification for its use. 'We have removed Emily from the house to once again make it clear to all housemates and the viewers at home that such behaviour won't be tolerated.' Years later, Emily told OK! Magazine that it was a period in her life which she 'tries not to revisit'. 'It's a period in my life that I try not to revisit too much if I can. The media noise and intrusion was bad but what was worse and lasted for a while was the deep shame I felt about what I had said,' she said. 'The only way I've found I could move forward from my mistake was to educate myself and develop a much better understanding of what these racial slurs mean and why they are so awful.
