Just thought I would let you know, Tommy has had a serious accident and is in the Dorset County Hospital, He has fallen from a 3rd floor window (about 20ft) his injuries are not thought to be life threatning, but we shall have to wait and see, please, regardless of what you think of him, please send some good vibes his way.

(The reason I'm posting and not at hospital is because i'm waiting for a taxi, his Mum and GF have gone with him)

Glad to hear Tommy is OK.

I think we've all been rather nice to all the contestants.

I cannot get any word about Jade - the local contacts I have are useless and the local rag is worse than than saying they think she has gone into hiding.

Some of them got quite a bit of stick from one quarter or another ... Tracy, Paul, Shaneen, Hassan, even Caroline. Though each also found some support.

As for Tommy ...I think most folk around here became very fond of him. IMO he is a genuinely nice guy. I wish him well for his future. And I hope he manages to make some cash out of this experience.

[SIZE=6]Rock on Tommy !!![/SIZE]

What a silly thing to do!!!

Hope you're feeling better soon, M8 !!

May I suggest only going to parties on the ground floor in future!

Yes! There may have been one or two comments on here that due to the fact that we where using your actions as a general talking point, may have sounded like a personal attack on you, I think you will find that most on here like you as a person !

To me, you sound like a normal teenager! (Don't know if that's a good thing or not !!! )

So! Take care, stay in bed and get mum to run around after you for a few days !!!

I never liked Tommy at first. Thought he would be trouble. But actually he ended up a really fair guy (in the house anyway) and I grew to like him. He used his presence to be a good force on the group.

Glad to hear he is ok.

Fortunately, Teenagers bounce well ! - If it had happend to me I would have broken every bone possible!

I not surprized you were upset - your a parent ! (this is the bit that teenagers don't understand when you are being over-protective! - But you can get your own back when Tom has some kids of his own! )

Is his ankle in plaster? - can we all sign it ?

If he gets really bored, wheel him next to the PC and we can keep him amused !

I think Tommy got a fair crack on here - he seemed a nice lad and I'm sure he would probably have won on a public vote

All the best, Tommy

Best wishes Tommy, don't try that stunt again.
Now just sit back and be pampered by your family.

Thanks for taking time to post the info weymel, not a nice experience to witness.

I didn't watch Teen BB, but I know who Tommy is, of course. This must have been a dreadful experience for you, his family. I am glad he escaped relatively unscathed. I hope you can get over the shock of seeing him like that.

I t brings reality back to you when you see something like that, Tommy was having a really good day, happy on top of the world, his sister Vicky had come to visit for the first time since the show and they are really close, and the next thing, wallop!!! It was probably Gareth that saved his life by clearing his airway and getting him breathing properly again, he was spark out and his breathing was shallow and laboured. Now my point is, it doesn't matter that it was Tommy, to us Tommy is Tommy, it could be one of your relatives, so please don't take anyone for granted enjoy and love your friends and family at all times, because all it takes is a split second and you could lose them for ever.

(Mind you i'm a bit p***ed off that I have to fit childlocks on the windows because of an 18 yr old)

Hope Tommy is ok - a fall from that height sounds nasty Get better soon! Anyone know what Jade's reaction to his jump/fall was?
