...and rushed for medical treatment in the Celebrity Big Brother house

On Monday night, Sam Faiers was rushed to see doctors after her face swelled up like a balloon in the Celebrity Big Brother house.

The reality star received emergency medical treatment for the symptoms which made her 'look like an alien', according to the Daily Star.

Insiders believe Sam, 24, had an allergic reaction that caused her face to swell at a rapid pace.

'The poor girl looked like something from a horror movie, like an alien,' a show source said about Sam, who first noticed signs of illness when her nose began to run uncontrollably.

The source added: 'She is so used to looking sexy and glam that she was really shaken and so were the other housemates.'

Sam was reportedly taken to see the show's doctors when the producers first learned of her symptoms, but the reaction began to subside, so the TOWIE star was treated on-site and given anti-allergy medication.

After a plaster was applied to her face, Sam was monitored by the medical staff until the symptoms stabilised and she was ready to go back into the house, with a team waiting on stand-by as a precaution.

This is the second health issue Faiers has suffered in the house, after previously complaining of an upset stomach.

She now stands to face the public vote after being nominated by Liz Jones and Jim Davidson.

Her potential eviction upset many of the other housemates, as she has been universally liked in the show, so Jim and Liz were accused of tactical voting.

The most disappointed to see Sam nominated was Ollie Locke, who has claimed he has feelings for the Essex girl.

'I'd be gutted if she left,' the Made In Chelsea star said.
