Food Network star Guy Fieri has been rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery after suffering a gruesome injury while filming, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
Fieri, 57, has been left wheelchair-bound after he "slipped down a set of steps" and injured his quad muscle while on the set of Flavortown Food Fight.
'Flavortown Food Fight' Freak Accident
Fieri said he 'slipped down a set of steps' on the 'Flavortown Food Fight' set.
The Diners, Drive-ins and Dives host told Fox News Digital that during his fall, "one foot went forward and the other foot got caught on the threshold" which resulted in his quad muscle being torn "in half."
"So, you know, it extended me out," Fieri said while describing the accident. "I looked like I was probably doing the splits, but when my right leg compressed into itself the giveaway point and the doctor said he's never seen – you know, in 20 years – he hasn't seen a tear in the biggest, thickest part of your quad in half."
"Yeah, it sucked," the chef added.
Fieri's Quad 'Exploded'
Fieri said emergency surgery was necessary to make sure his muscles didn't 'recede' after his quad 'exploded.'
Emergency surgery was required to make sure his muscles did not "recede" because of how Fieri's quad "exploded."
"You normally tear that muscle at your tendon or the tendon tears off the bone, but this was right in the center of the whole quad muscle and it exploded," The 57-year-old explained.
Fieri said because the accident occurred while he was filming, the production team are now in the process of figuring out how to "pivot" and use "creative filming techniques."
