Janice Dickinson ‘forced to quit I’m a Celebrity after suffering head injury’

Janice Dickinson has been forced to quit I’m A Celebrity after suffering a head injury on set, according to reports.

The former supermodel, 68, was rushed to hospital after tripping over a cable while filming in Kruger National Park in South Africa.

A source told The Sun: “It was terrifying. Everyone was woken by a sickening thud. A few of the campmates ran towards the noise and found Janice face down. She seemed to be semi-conscious on the ground.

“Blood was gushing from her head and she was covered in dirt and dust. A crowd formed and one of the campmates had to ask everyone to stand back to give her space to breathe.

“The injuries were severe enough that she had to be taken to hospital by ambulance. The on-set medics are very good but this needed her going to a fully equipped hospital.

“There were fears that she had suffered a cracked skull but she was later given the all-clear by doctors.”

The pre-recorded show – titled I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here All Stars – is set to screen on ITV from April 24.

It will be hosted by regulars Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly. Celebrities taking part include Helen Flanagan, Carol Vorderman, Shaun Ryder and Amir Khan.

ITV has been contacted for comment.
