Love Island Australia star Trent Woolman was airlifted to hospital with severe burns after falling into a bonfire at his sister's property.

Trent Woolman, 28, appeared on season 5 of Love Island Australia. He fell into a bonfire while cleaning a paddock at his sister's house in Inverleigh, Victoria. He managed to escape the flames and crawl back to the house, where his sister immediately called an ambulance.

Woolman suffered severe burns to his arms, mouth and airways. Paramedics called for intensive care support, and he was airlifted to The Alfred Hospital in Melbourne and taken to the trauma unit. He was initially scheduled for immediate skin graft surgery to his arms.

However, doctors discovered a cyst and bleeding on his brain, which delayed his surgical treatment by several days. Once the brain condition was addressed, he underwent the necessary skin grafts. Woolman told the Daily Mail his hospitalisation had been 'the worst time of my life'. He has spent over two weeks in hospital and faces several more weeks of recovery ahead. He is set to appear in the upcoming series of Married at First Sight Australia at the wedding of his Love Island co-star Zac Nunns.
