It's been a long road of recovery for Buddy who has been rehabilitating his right hand following a horrific incident last year. In September of 2020, the 43-year-old celebrity baker impaled his right hand in a freak accident with the pin mechanism of his at-home bowling alley machine and suffered severe tendon and nerve damage. A one-and-a-half inch metal rod pierced his hand three times between his ring finger and middle finger. His sons Buddy Jr. and Marco had to use a saw to free their father from the machine and he was hospitalized for treatment, undergoing multiple surgeries. By April he had told Rachael Ray that he'd regained about 75% usage of his right hand again and Buddy appeared to have no issues while working with Gigi.
