The makers of I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! are facing questions after comedian Brian Conley was forced to quit the camp due to concerns over his health.
The Sun reports that he left the camp after suffering a collapse due to exhaustion and weight loss and he was taken to hospital. The comedian’s wife, Anne-Marie is reported to have been very concerned about how his health deteriorated so quickly with a source quoted as saying "She couldn't believe how much he'd changed after ten days in the jungle. He looks really unwell and vulnerable.
"He's lost a lot of weight and is exhausted. Doctors have prescribed lots of rest until he recovers. Anne-Marie was hugely supportive of Brian's decision to go on the show, but now you can't blame her wishing he hadn't.
He was released from hospital last night and is now recovering with his family.
Conley’s agent issued a statement which said: "We can confirm Brian Conley has been discharged from hospital and is delighted to be back with his family recuperating. He would like to thank everyone for their kind wishes and concern."
An ITV spokesman said: "The safety and welfare of our contestants is of paramount importance. All contestants are assessed by independent medical experts. We also have contact where necessary with the celebrities' GPs.
"Medical personnel are also available 24 hours a day to provide support if it is needed."
