Terrifying moment Love Island star's garden disappears into massive sinkhole in front of his eyes

Love Island star Liam Reardon has revealed that the massive sinkhole that appeared in south Wales was right outside his home.

The 25-year-old has described how he was having breakfast with his dad and sister when the "front wall and gates disappeared into huge sinkhole". Speaking on the podcast he fronts with girlfriend Millie Court, he described how they had to pack a bag and get out as quickly as possible.

The massive 50ft cavity, which increased in size last week, first appeared right outside homes in Nant Morlais, Merthyr, on Sunday, December 1. Thirty homes were evacuated as giant sinkhole expanded in size.

Speaking on his podcast, Liam said: "I still can't believe it myself. We recently sold our family home and moved into this home a few months ago. We have been renting. We have a massive 60ft sinkhole on our driveway.

"The day before I had driven over that area where the sinkhole appeared about 11am. The tarmac hadn't broken at that point. Got a call at 2pm that afternoon to say there was a small sinkhole at the end of our drive. From there it got worse and worse We were in the house on Sunday morning having breakfast then all of a sudden our front gate and wall disappeared.

"You could hear the thumping of the road disappearing. I was having a cup of coffee, my yoghurt and eggs and everyone was shouting at us to get out. We had to pack a case and just get out," he revealed.

"We can't go back to the house. It has been emptied and apparently it is going to be knocked down. We park our cars where the whole appeared. Thankfully no-one was injured. We need to find a home to move into now," said Liam.

The former reality star said that his family are staying in an Airbnb while they work out where they are going to move to. Millie said that her friends thought she was winding them up when she told them that the huge sinkhole that had made the news was in front of Liam's house.
