Love Island's Jessie Wynter partly blamed herself after she was hospitalised ... trends now
Jessie Wynter heartbreakingly partly blamed herself after she was rushed to hospital when her drink was spiked while on holiday in the United States last year.
The former Love Island star, 27, who appeared on series two of Love Island Australia in 2019 and season nine of Love Island in the UK in 2023, was on vacation with her boyfriend and co-star Will Young in Chicago when the incident happened.
She was rushed to hospital at the time and was one of a number of girls who needed medical treatment after the same substance was found in their system.
Reality star Jessie has now said she felt 'somewhat' responsible following the terrifying incident.
She said: 'Last year while I was on holiday I had my drink spiked and I was actually very fortunate, I got safely to hospital, my boyfriend was there to help me and so were other members of the public.

'However, what terrified me most was that I did share this experience on social media as it came as such a shock to myself and when I shared it on social media I discovered that this is actually happening to so many people so often, people of all ages, and they were all in the same boat as myself where they didn't know what to do.
When asked what she thinks it is that motivates people to spike drinks, Jessie replied: 'Honestly I have no idea, I think this is a huge mystery. For me, when I got spiked, I almost felt like I was a part of a freak accident or I was somewhat myself to blame in this situation.
'However, these people are going out motivated to do this and the reason for their motivation, I honestly don't even want to know.
'I was lucky enough that I didn't have to face the repercussions of their further actions but this is a huge issue and other people are ending up in far worse situations than I did.'
Jessie detailed the 'scary' incident on Instagram a day after sharing that she'd been hospitalised.
She wrote: 'I wasn't sure if I should post this as I felt so embarrassed but the other night I was unfortunately rushed to hospital after my drink was spiked.
'I was so lucky that I was with Will and he looked after me
