A Love Island star’s girlfriend has been rushed to the hospital after she suffered from a cardiac arrest.
Sam Taylor, who was part of the hit reality TV series last year, recently made his new relationship public.
Now, the Chesterfield man is at his girlfriend’s side after the frightening medical emergency.
Em Leah, a 22-year-old social media influencer, informed her followers that she experienced a sudden health crisis when her “heart stopped.”
In a social media update, she thanked Sam for his support as she updated fans on her recovery.
In a video of her in the hospital, hairdresser Sam can be seen wheeling her through the hallways, Em shared: “Not sure I could’ve done it without you.”
Another photo captured her in a hospital bed, hooked to a cannula, where she stated: “Cardiac arrest and heart stopping on me… Was not on today’s to-do list,” reports the Mirror.
“I’m okay and in the best place, thank you for all the messages.”

Alongside an image of her supportive family, she added: “Not sure where I would be like if I didn’t have such amazing people around me.”
From her hospital bed, staring up at the ceiling, Em confessed: “Am really going to struggle to reply to everybody!”.
Expressing her thanks once more, she said: “But thank you all again for your kind messages!
“Honestly put so many things into perspective for me and just made me appreciate the little things. Just a reminder you know what’s round the corner and you never know when your last days going to be! Be kind and always.”
The influencer, who has amassed a following of 155,000 on the social media giant’s platform, continued: “Just waking up every day, breathing, feeling my heart beat – those are the miracles. My body, even after everything, brought me back. And for that, I am in awe of it.
“I am learning to love myself in a way I never did before – not for how ‘perfect’ I look or how ‘together my life is, but for simply being here. Alive. This experience has reminded me how fragile and beautiful life really is. I don’t need to control it – I just need to live it, moment by moment, with gratitude.”

Em’s scary health issue comes just days after the couple went public with their romance. They shared a slew of snaps on social media together as they rocked a matching outfit. Both dressed in black, they offered a sultry gaze towards the camera. Sam was sat down while Em wore a little black dress as she rested her hand on her new boyfriend’s shoulders.
“Newest addition,” they captioned their upload alongside a black heart to match their outfits. Friends and followers rushed to the comment section to react to the news. Musician Hugo Godfroy penned: “Andddd take off,” alongside a rocket emoji. Influence Holly Hawkins-Smith gushed: “Happy looks good on you my girl.”

Love Island’s Lionel Awudu added: “The lovely couple.” “Damn sexy couple alert, glad you found someone,” gushed another follower. Em later shared a picture of herself in black lace lingerie sitting on a sofa as Sam cut away at her hair. She wrote: “Princess treatment.”
Sam had previously teased their romance by sharing a selfie of himself and Em at the gum last month. At the time, a source told The Sun: “Sam is in the early stages of a new relationship and things are going really well. His mates are joking he’s acting different now he’s got a missus, he’s finally tamed!”
He is not the first Love Island star that Em has dated after she previously struck up a romance with Kodie Muprhy back in 2023. Jodi appeared on series ten of the show, entering as a Casa Amor bombshell.
