Love Island star shares horrific near-death experience that left him in ‘hell’ while on holiday in Bali

BBG News

Mitchell Eliot recently shared his experience of contracting dengue fever during his stay in Bali, admitting it was the scariest moment in life that made him feel the closest to death he had ever encountered.

As a die-hard fan from 2018’s Love Island, I couldn’t help but share my harrowing tale after taking to TikTok yesterday. I wanted to not only reveal the chilling incident that happened to me, but also remind fellow fans about the importance of staying vigilant and safety-conscious.

‘The last three days have been hell,’ the 28-year-old began while lying in bed shirtless. 

He shared with his followers that due to severe fever and intense body pain, he urgently needed an ambulance in Bali to take him to a hospital.

They believe it might have been Dengue Fever, a condition that shares similarities with Malaria. Both are acquired through mosquito bites.

It emerged that he didn’t display any signs until five nights had passed, following an incident where he was bitten by multiple mosquitoes the previous night, resulting in approximately thirty bites when he awoke.

Nevertheless, the influencer subsequently declared a surprising assertion concerning his illness, implying that he would face lasting consequences as a result.

It seems that once you acquire it, it stays with you for the entirety of your life. Essentially, you experience unexpected periods of being unwell, and it persists constantly within you, according to him.

Later on, Mitchell advised those planning to travel to Bali to utilize insect repellent and mosquito nets throughout their visit, as it was better to be safe than sorry.

Dengue fever is a virus that people can get from being bitten by mosquitoes, particularly in regions with warm climates like the tropics and subtropics.

In my expertise, while the majority of individuals typically recuperate from dengue fever in about a week, it’s crucial to be aware that severe cases can escalate into Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever, a dangerous and potentially life-threatening complication.

In April, Mitchell spoke up for the first time after parting ways with Phoebe Spiller – sharing that he was embarking on a fresh journey of personal exploration and openness to various sexual identities.

On the Sensory Overload podcast, the former reality show personality, who fell in love with Phoebe during season four, openly discussed his sexuality and personal development without reservation.

For the first time since their surprising separation in July 2024, Mitch has chosen to express that he is now allowing himself the freedom to understand and express himself genuinely, free from any expectations or limitations.

He said to Billy Barker on the podcast that sexuality is a wonderful aspect, and perhaps people should become more open-minded about it.

As a lifestyle guide, I’d say: “When you find yourself pondering about something or someone unexpected, don’t shy away! Instead, embrace the opportunity to venture into uncharted territories. It might be someone who doesn’t typically align with your usual preferences, but remember, every new encounter has the potential to open up a whole universe of possibilities.

Previously a tradesman who is now an influencer expressed that the journey has been simultaneously challenging and liberating for him. He mentioned that he no longer feels apprehensive about exploring new ideas or examining his personal identity.

Following my break-up, I realized it was time for a change – I decided to embrace openness more fully. Deep within, I’ve always yearned for a bit more flexibility, a bit more freedom to explore different aspects of myself… but I hadn’t made significant strides towards that goal. Now, I’m on a journey of self-discovery, working to understand what truly resonates with me.

He added bluntly: ‘Who gives a f**k who you f**k?’

The person from Gold Coast openly expressed that he doesn’t feel compelled to categorize his sexuality, as he continues to face numerous inquiries from fans about this topic.

‘I get DMs from people now and people will be like, ‘What’s your sexuality?’ he said.

To put it frankly, minding my own affairs is my priority, and secondly, labeling my feelings seems unnecessary. Some days I feel as solid as a straight arrow, while on others, I find myself leaning towards the spectrum of queerness.
