Love Island's Tommy Fury shared an awkwardly timed advertisement featuring ice cream with nuts in it just days after fellow Islander Jack Fowler shared his near-death experience.
Earlier this week, Jack took to social media to detail his horrifying experience on Emirates Airline which saw the star, who is severely allergic to nuts, consume an in-flight meal that contained cashews after flight attendants assured him it was nut-free. The reality star needed an epi-pen and several oxygen tanks before being taken to the hospital when the plane landed.
Not long after, boxer Tommy took to his page to share an advertisement for ice cream - one of which is called 'Nut Your Average'. Fans joked the video of him consuming the ice cream was his dream job as he would get to try out new foods all day, while one quipped: "Everything but fight real boxers."
It comes after Jack told his followers about his severe allergic reaction on the plane from the UK to Dubai. He said his throat "immediately closed" when he ate the food served on the Emirates flight despite telling flight attendants of his allergy twice beforehand.

After returning to the UK, Jack appeared on Good Morning Britain to discuss the traumatic event and questioned why there hasn't been a ban on nuts in planes.

He said: "I really honestly trusted them and started to eat what I thought was something safe and it actually contained the one thing that I really couldn’t have and that was cashew nuts, which is the worst nut for me. Straight away I knew, my throat was closing up, I couldn’t breathe and it was extremely scary for me. I just knew something was wrong so I stood up, I went to the air host and I said: ‘Excuse me. Is there nuts in this?’ And she said no. And I said: ‘But I can feel it, something’s wrong.'”
Jack added: "There’s this complete negligence here. I just think: what is it going to take? What is it going to take until nuts are taken off flights completely? The amount of people in my comments on Instagram, direct messaging, saying they are completely relating to what happened, whether or not it’s them firsthand, it’s their friends, it might be the parents of a young child who’s also got anaphylaxis to food.
“It’s incredible that nuts are still served on flights. The rate of allergies in younger people is on the up. And I just feel like it’s a sign of the times where people need to be looked after on these flights. Back in the day, you had some drink and some peanuts, but now things are changing and what is it gonna take?"
