What happened to Chase Looney on Fixer to Fabulous?

When Looney first premiered on the show, he had both eyes, but after the pilot episode was filmed, he was involved in a serious accident that caused injury to his face.

While setting up a firework display for the Fourth of July, a tube exploded in his face.

He was then rushed to the hospital and had to undergo an eight-hour surgery, but doctors were unable to save his eye, according to Yahoo! Entertainment.

"The following days in the hospital, I was given the news that I lost my eye. That it would have to be removed. That I might not have movement in the left side of my face and that the scarring would be permanent," Looney previously explained in a blog post.

During the whole ordeal, Dave and Jenny were right by his side. At first, he didn't think he could return to TV, but the celebrity couple convinced him otherwise.

"I told them, 'I don’t think I have the face for TV anymore.' Through tears and laughter, they reassured me I never had a face for TV anyway,” Looney joked.

After recovering, he returned to Fixer to Fabulous rocking an eye patch.
