In 2017, the crew had just completed filming for the first-ever episode of Fixer to Fabulous.

As he was lighting up mortars in succession, a mishandling occurred in the fifth firework. It burst up close to the TV star’s face, and he lost consciousness soon after.

As the star recalls on his blog website, the weather was pretty bad that day as a storm was approaching. That is also why they had to complete the fireworks before the storm.
