The reality star, who starred on the popular ITV2 show in 2018, revealed details on social media, claiming that despite having twice reported his allergy, he had to use his epi pen and needed five tanks of oxygen after being given a chicken curry on an Emirates aircraft that contained nuts.
I genuinely trusted them and began consuming what I believed to be a safe food, but it contained cashew nuts—the worst nut for me—which is something I was truly unable to have,” Fowler said on TV’s.
I became really afraid as soon as I realized that my throat was shutting up and that I was unable to breathe.”
The Love Island star persisted on checking the menu after realizing something wasn’t right, stating it said to be “Creamy cashew nut chicken curry.”
“How long will it take?”
“I just think: what is it going to take?” Fowler went on. How long before nuts are totally removed from airplanes?
“I’ve received a lot of responses in my Instagram comments and direct messages from people who say they can totally relate to what happened, whether it was something they experienced personally, one of their friends, or perhaps the parents of a small child who also had a food allergy.
