Abi Phillips, the former Hollyoaks star who played the first iteration of Liberty Savage on the Channel 4 soap, took to social media to update her followers with news that she had been taken to hospital while on holiday in Ibiza. She posted a story on her social media, showing her arm with bandages visible and a cannula inserted.
Abi explained in the caption that her hospitalisation was due to her phone being stolen. She wrote, "1 stolen phone and 18 hours in A&E later", with an upside down emoji. Despite the unfortunate incident, Abi ultimately enjoyed her stay in Ibiza and jokingly wrote "Suing Ibiza for theft and attempted murder", followed by a laugh emoji. She concluded her post with the reassurance that "it was worth it though".
The 28-year-old actress found fame on Hollyoaks as Liberty in 2010, when she was only 16-years-old. Abi also wrote the song "Missing You" which featured in Steph Cunningham's death scene, and departed the show in 2013. Five years later, Liberty returned to screens with actress Jessamy Stoddart taking over the role.
In 2020, Abi revealed that she had been diagnosed with thyroid cancer. "I never thought I would be told that I have cancer at the age of 28, you never think it’s going to happen to you," she wrote in a lengthy post, revealing her diagnosis to her fans. She stated that she wouldn't have pushed to see a specialist if it weren't for Love Island star Demi Jones sharing her thyroid cancer ordeal on social media, and realised that their lumps were "in the exact same place".
We hope Abi is feeling better after her hospital visit and wish her all the best for her recovery.
