Love Island star Chloe Burrows has recalled being rescued by lifeguards during her recent trip to Australia.
The reality TV star, who also took part in Celebs Go Dating, relayed the "traumatic" incident on former Gogglebox star Joe Baggs' Not My Bagg podcast.
Chloe celebrated Christmas Down Under with her best friend Millie Court, as well as Liam Reardon and other friends.
On Christmas Day, a "rave on the beach" turned into a terrifying experience for Chloe when she decided to avoid the toilet queue and relieve herself in the sea, ending up getting caught in a riptide.
"On Christmas Day we went to Bronte Beach, and it was an actual rave on the beach. I really need a wee, and they had public toilets, but the queue was f***ing huge, so I was like, 'I'll just go in the sea, I don't care,'" she said.
"So, I run with my friend down to the water to go for a wee, and I got in and I'm trying to go for a wee and this huge wave, and I am drunk, like I should not be swimming it is unsafe, and was very silly of me, but anyway, this huge wave is taking me out,"
"I got caught in a riptide, so I'm now so far away from the shore, and I'm trying to call my friends."
Chloe was ultimately pulled from the sea by lifeguards, admitting the moment was "pure chaos".
"It was really traumatising, and then two lifeguards are coming and pull me back to shore, and I was just a drunk mess. It was just pure chaos," she said.
Last year, Chloe was announced to be joining the podcast of another fan-favourite dating show, Married at First Sight.
