I'm A Celeb's Janice Dickinson forced to quit after hospital dash following head injury

I’m A Celebrity’s Janice Dickinson won’t be on the show for too long as it’s been claimed she was forced to quit.

The former supermodel was reportedly rushed to hospital after sustaining head injuries following a fall on set while she was looking for the toilet in the middle of the night.

A source told The Sun on Sunday that she tripped over a cable in the dark at the camp and was found with “blood gushing from her head”.

It was claimed she was immediately rushed to hospital and had to pull out of the all-star series.

The source said the moment was “terrifying” and the campmates ran towards the noise and found Janice face down and one of the campmates stepped in to ask everybody to stand back and give her space.

Production crew then came out and immediately called for a medic, it was claimed.

The source added: “The injuries were severe enough that she had to be taken to hospital by ambulance. There were fears that she had suffered a cracked skull but she was later given the all-clear by doctors.”

Janice was reportedly “doing great” during her time on the show and was a “really good laugh”.

They added that she must have been one of the favourites to win, but had “no choice” but to miss the rest of the competition.

Janice filmed the show in the jungle last year alongside a number of ex campers including Shaun Ryder, Helen Flanagan, Phil Tufnell, Jordan Banjo, Carol Vorderman, Paul Burrell, Amir Khan and Fatima Whitbread.

It was claimed that the accident took place towards the final stages of filming for the show.

Daily Star has contacted ITV for comment.

Contestants who leave camp and are hospitalised following medical concerns are sadly unable to enter again, even if they’re given the all-clear.

In recent years the likes of Richard Madeley and Olivia Attwood were both forced to drop out of filming due to health.

Just last year Olivia was sadly made to drop out of the ITV show less than 24 hours after arriving following a medical check.

I’m A Celebrity… South Africa starts Monday, April 24 at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
