'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here' bosses have reportedly denied a claim suggesting that 'The Hills' stars Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt were tortured on the show.
According to Us magazine, Stephanie Pratt (Heidi's sister-in-law) posted a message on the Internet over the weekend, claiming that Heidi was hospitalised after her stint in the jungle.
The message reportedly read: "I'm really saddened to hear that NBC felt it was OK to punish Speidi so harshly - and torture them as if they were criminals - that Heidi was... rushed to the hospital and has an IV in her arm after being locked in a dark room for three days with no food or water. Please pray she will be OK."
A show source reportedly said in response: "Any accusations that Spencer and Heidi were harmed are untrue."
"There was no danger, no life-threatening situations - in fact, they were actually protected from the elements, unlike the other contestants. When they came out, they were happy and in good spirits."
The show's producers said in a statement: "ITV has been producing this format around the world for many years and the health of the celebrity participants are of the utmost importance."
