Former reality TV star Pete Wicks suffered a scary fall that left him unconscious. Wicks had to remain at home for a week after hitting his head on a coffee table. He described waking up to his dog licking his face and discovering a wax burn on his eye, causing his face to swell and turn pink.
During a podcast conversation with his friend Sam Thompson, Wicks recounted the incident, revealing that he had sustained a wax burn across his eye from candles on the coffee table. The injury kept him indoors from Christmas day until New Year’s Eve due to the swelling and discoloration on his face.
Thompson, who recently shared his own health struggles, disclosed his upcoming surgery to remove a cyst on his vocal cords, which will require a few days of vocal rest. The NHS explains that such nodules are benign swellings that develop on the vocal cords due to prolonged vocal strain.
Thompson’s new relationship with Talitha Balinska has been making headlines. The couple spent Christmas together in 2025, dispelling rumors of any relationship issues. Thompson confirmed their official status on social media, shutting down speculation about their bond.
Thompson had previously dated Zara McDermott, who is now in a relationship with former One Direction member Louis Tomlinson. Thompson’s openness about his personal life has garnered attention, especially as he navigates his new romance with Balinska.
