Love Island star Shaughna Phillips crashed her car into a double-decker bus in London.
The TV personality was driving with her one-year-old daughter Lucia in London on Saturday night (February 1) when she collided with the bus. She said she had been involved in a "minor crash" and that she was feeling "sore" but reassured followers that it could have been "so much worse".
Shaughna, 30, shot to fame on the winter series of Love Island in 2020. The reality star gave birth to Lucia in April of last year with her partner Billy Webb - who went to prison while Shaughna was pregnant.
She took to Instagram to show her followers the aftermath of the terrifying road accident. She posted a photo of the bus' windscreen, which had been completely smashed with a front panel hanging off on the driver's side.
A Shaughna wrote: "Was involved in a minor crash last night with a bus. Could have been so much worse, and with Lucia in the car which was the scariest part! "A bit sore today but I'll take that any day.
She urged her followers: "Always wear your seatbelts". Earlier in the day, Shaughna had taken her toddler for lunch at a Toby Carvery, sharing a sweet snap of the meal.
The crash comes almost a year after Shaughna witnessed a fatal motor bike accident in May of last year. The villa alum was left shaken after seeing the crash that killed a man in his thirties. Shaughna said said she could not stop thinking about the horror accident.
She wrote at the time: "Have just seen that a man in his 30's died at the scene of that crash. Have not stopped thinking about it all day, tomorrow really is not promised." She added: "Sending so much love to the poor family and anyone who witnessed that this morning."
Shaughna appeared on the winter series of Love Island in 2020, where she was coupled up with Callum Jones before he went to Casa Amor and returned with ex Molly Smith. Callum and Molly later reunited on last year's All Stars series.
She announced the birth of Lucia in April 2023, taking to Instagram with the news and writing: "My darling Lucia, I wish I had you sooner so I could love you longer. 04/04/23. 8lb 8oz. 8:10pm."
Before Christmas, Shaughna revealed that Billy, the father of her child, had been released from prison early. Shaughna was pregnant with Lucia when he was sentenced to nine years in prison, after admitting conspiracy to supply 4.5kg of cocaine worth at least £360,000.
Billy was released in November after serving just 12 months of his sentence. Speaking about her ordeal in her podcast, Oh, Baby with Shaughna and Holly, Shaughna said: "It's the most gut-wrenching position to be in.
"And, I mean, before I even answer this question, I want to just put it out there that you can judge me all you want, but please don't let me know, because I feel like unless you've been in this position you can't really have an opinion on it.
"Because before I was in this position, before I had a baby, if you had asked me would I ever, ever take my child into a prison, the answer would be absolutely not. Anyone that does that is crazy. And then, lo and behold, I'm now in this position. And I think the thing is, we're always going to be co-parents."
She added: "And I know that me and my dad had the best relationship ever, and to me, my dad is the best person in the world. And I don't want Lucia to think differently of her father. I would never, ever stop him from seeing her, ever."
