LOVE Island star Jack Fowler has recalled the petrifying moment he thought he would die on a plane after suffering a serious allergic reaction. The reality star, 28, was rushed to hospital upon landing in Dubai following the terrifying in-air incident after he ate food containing nuts. The star's story went viral after he shared worrying footage of himself administering his EpiPen and receiving canisters of oxygen while on the flight.
Reliving his ordeal, he told The Sun: "It's petrifying. You know, I'm petrified. "I'm looking at my three friends that are on the flight with me and I'm saying to them, God, I think I'm going to die.
"Because I can't breathe, you know, I can't talk. "I can just about breathe. And, you know, I'm having my anaphylactic shock.
I'm shaking. My heart's going crazy. "You know, my eyes are stinging.
My skin's itching. I feel really hot." Jack's had throat closed up.
He needed emergency treatment immediately and alerted the air crew, begging them to land the plane. He said: "I'm scared. I'm petrified.
It couldn't be any worse. "Up 35,000 feet in the air with no doctor. It can't get any worse than that.
"You go to these flights and you pay all this money, thousands of pounds in some cases, to get to a destination safely. And now this has happened." Jack was given five tanks of Oxygen and said the pilot was cleared to take a shorter route to get him to safety.
Jack said he hadn't seen a menu, but was told by an air steward that his meal was a plain chicke.
