Dapper Laughs has been rushed to hospital after a golf buggy accident, marking the second time this has happened to the content creator.

‘Me & golf carts just don’t mix,’ the controversial star said while sharing a clip of the crash, which happened on his brother’s stag do in Portugal.

Taking to social media, the 40-year-old said: ‘I did not expect to end up here, A&E. F***ing Portugal. I’ve hurt my back, I can’t speak because of the f***ing pain, mate. It hurt my back bad.

‘I hit hard stand, twisted, left and right. I f***ing came off the golf cart, didn’t I? But I did catch it on camera, have a look.’

Before sharing the footage of the moment he fell, the content creator – real name Daniel O’Reilly – explained what followers were about to see.

‘You can hear [the driver] say, “Is that your ball over there?” Where he turns left while I’m hanging out on the right,’ he said, continuing: ‘Then f*** me you can hear the clicks in my back when I bend down to pick up my phone. Like it’s just f***ing snapped, listen.’

The video shows a fast-moving convoy of golf buggies, and it does indeed catch his friend asking about the location of his ball, before the camera suddenly shakes and shows nothing but the blue sky.

‘I’m sorry I didn’t realise you were hanging off the side,’ the driver of the buggy can be heard saying after the fall, as O’Reilly says, ‘That was bad.’

‘Oww, my back,’ O’Reilly can be heard saying, ‘I think I’ve hurt my back.’

The Celebrity Big Brother star then proceeded to show followers what happened the last time he was hospitalised in a golfing incident, with photos of him with a huge cast on his leg,

He managed to get that incident on video too, which was somewhat more dramatic than his more recent tumble.

The golf cart can be seen flying in the air having gone full speed over the ridge of a sand trap, which launched him out the side of the cart, crushing his leg underneath.

Back in realtime in hospital, he filmed himself getting an injection in his bum, before collapsing onto a hospital bed and exclaiming: ‘I’m never playing golf again.’

O’Reilly later shared videos from the stag do golf trip before his injury, which saw his brother dressing up in a pink outfit and sporting a blonde wig.

The stag party can be heard shouting at some golf course staff while pointing at him, “She will s*** you off,” and, “Come back for a b**wy!’

O’Reilly has been out of the mainstream limelight after he made a tasteless joke about raping a woman in a 2014 live show, and his TV show Dapper Laughs: On the Pull was pulled from ITV.

Struggling with the backlash, as well as alcohol and drug addiction, the comedian decided to retire his bawdy character and focus on re-discovering his true identity.

He returned with a 2023 live show Out Of Character, through which he wanted to get his legacy back for his daughters.

He told Metro in 2023: ‘The core reason why I want to come back to standup comedy and make an impact is for my daughters.

‘When my daughters are old enough to find out about me online and Google and YouTube and all that stuff I don’t want to be just known for that joke.

‘I want to be known for positive reasons and I want them to look at my standup comedy in a positive light. I want them to see how you can overcome and grow from mistakes, rather than just give up.’

He continued: ‘I didn’t deal with what had happened very well. I couldn’t accept that I was in the wrong for a long time.

‘I felt like a bit of a victim, to be honest with you originally and it took me a long time and maybe to have daughters to really realise the impact that toxic lad culture and sexist views and jokes can have on young men growing up and how it can influence them.

‘I had to see the world through my daughters’ eyes to mature and also I had to become sober.’
