TV journalist Leigh Holmwood from The Sun revealed the news on Twitter this afternoon (November 14).

"Freddie Starr has been rushed to hospital after suffering a severe allergic reaction," said Holmwood. "Freddie Starr is in good spirits I am told but he will be in hospital for at least 24 hours."

Starr was a late entrant into the jungle, but finally entered at the weekend and his Greasy Spoon Bushtucker trial with Mark Wright will air on tonight's show.

"Freddie Starr was taken unwell in the jungle. He was immediately attended to by on-site medics and taken to hospital where he was assessed by doctors," said a show rep.

"He will remain in hospital overnight as a precaution and further tests continue. However, he is in great spirits and keeping nursing staff entertained."

It is not known at this stage whether Starr will be allowed to return to the jungle later in the series, nor what caused his bout of illness.

Earlier this year, Starr underwent a quadruple heart bypass, but the comic claimed that he was confident his health would hold up under the strain of the ITV1 reality show.

Yes that alone tells you he is not up to this.

Was there any truth in the Louie Spence rumour of him going in there ?

That will be Fun

I'm sure he'll give everything a go and probably be hilarious in it.

"Fat" Freddie was never going to make the grade - his abysmal entrance and poor task performance were proof of that - I guess his BTT will be a failure, too .....

Not really, I'm over your casual trolling.

I assume it was eating all manner of vile/unusual things that caused his allergic reaction. Surely thats not too much of a leap?

He's hardly been in long enough for his digestive system to really start reacting .... what did they have, rice and beans?

Hes just done a task apparently. The one that was advertised last night.

I'm guessing from looking at it and the name that is was an 'eat some kangaroo bollocks and a cockroach' task

If it was an allergic reaction like the story says, it would be pretty soon after eating whatever

Ahhh.... right... I see! That makes much sense.

It brings us right round to the point that Ammi mentioned though: about all these exemptions from x/y/z type tasks:

so we'll have ones that may affect Freddie on heart related task, tasks that his routound size won't accomodate or his poor fitness levels will exclude him from, tasks that include eating anythign in case he takes another allergic reaction: makes it pretty pointless him being there really.

Get someone else in, I say.

I think
as he was Fresh out of Hospital in the UK
he is crazy trying to stay alive here
whatever happens in tasks
he can not even sleep.

Spot on. Anyone still in recovery from major operations, and clearly is physically unfit as he clearly is: they shouldn't be on there.

It's unfair to all the other contestants, to expect them to have to carry deadwood.

Makes you wonder what the casting crew were thinking - and it wasn't ratings: this type of thing is going against the show already.

Thanks Arista.

Here's the get out clause right away in red - below.

That's the excuse they need: the may not be able to pinpoint - and if it's leeches or tics allergy/ reaction: he shouldn't be in the jungle.

Means he will still get his money then.

Good managment team Freddie's got eh!

'The reaction could be due to a spider bite, he might have reacted badly to a leech or a tic, or even a snake he hadn’t noticed.

I was under the impression they all go through a medical, which if it is the case, how did Freddie pass this ? Considering what operation he went through earlier in the year.

Bizarre..

InOne · 14-11-2011, 04:15 PM

I wasn't wrong. There are a couple of middle aged smokers in there that may not be as good at tasks as others. That was my original point.

*puff, choke, puff*

Visage · 14-11-2011, 04:17 PM

Yes it was an eating task that he did this morning.

Visage · 14-11-2011, 04:57 PM

I think there is some confusion between the tasks.

The task Freddie and Mark had was today (this morning) the result of that task will see one of the camps eat well tonight.

The other task was the day before which saw the crap camp win the food.

It's confusing because of the time difference and that we always watch the previous days highlights.
