The star of Italy’s reality TV show Temptation island was taken on a stretcher to the hospital in Catania, an ancient port city on Sicily’s east coast, after experiencing pain in his legs while at a nightclub.

In fact, it was the 33-year-old who shared the video via his Instagram Stories.

@ilvostropensieroi captured the video on TikTok after the influencer made his Instagram account private.

Fellow influencer Deianira Marzano from Italy’s Napoli spoke about the former Temptation Island star’s condition.

“I met him yesterday in the late afternoon at Rome Fiumicino airport. He was in pretty bad shape, he couldn’t walk, he was in a wheelchair accompanied by an OS from Fiumicino airport,” she said.

“He seemed very tired and really very down in the dumps. I’m honest, I was sorry to see him in that condition, poor thing.”

After facing some backlash for sharing the incident on social media, Italian actress Guenda Goria said: “To those who criticise Francesco for sharing his most difficult health moments on social media, I would like to remind them that his gritty battle against a bad disease is giving strength to so many guys.”

On Saturday, August 20, Chiofalo is said to have been entertaining guests at the local I Mori Lounge – Cavà in Ispica, in the province of Ragusa when he complained that he was feeling unwell, as reported by fanpage.it.

Local reports suggest that the “La Pupa and the Nerdy Show” star arrived at the hospital and said, “I don’t feel my leg anymore.”
