Love Island contestant Lochan Nowacki had a visit to the emergency room on Sunday due to a painful foot injury. The 27-year-old updated his health status on Instagram Stories, sharing a photo of his injured foot propped up on pillows. Visible on his left foot was a large red mark, with Lochan expressing concern about a possible Achilles rupture.
Later, Lochan posted another photo from the hospital’s waiting room, featuring himself and his mother, Kulminder. He captioned the post with a light-hearted comment about their A&E wait time. As of his last update to his 212k followers, there have been no further updates on his condition. The NHS suggests that an Achilles rupture may cause sudden heel or calf pain, accompanied by a snapping or popping sound, making walking difficult and requiring a long recovery period.
This injury comes at a challenging time for Lochan, who recently started a new relationship with Brianna Balram from “Too Hot To Handle.” The couple celebrated Brianna’s birthday in Paris, as seen in her social media posts. The relationship with Brianna follows Lochan’s breakup with his ex and former Love Island co-star Whitney Adebayo, after their split was announced in 2025.
Amidst ongoing personal challenges, including legal disputes with his ex, Lochan continues to navigate his public image and relationships. Whitney has denied knowledge of any legal action against her, focusing on her business ventures instead. As this story unfolds, Lochan’s followers eagerly await further updates on his health and personal life.
