Declan Donnelly was rushed to seek medical attention after being bitten by a spider whilst behind the scenes of I’m A Celeb.
ITV co-host Ant McPartlin opened up about the incident to viewers on Instagram Live, reports the Mirror.
He said: “We’ve had quite a lot of drama not only on the show but off the show as well because Dec had a spider on his neck and was bitten by a spider and the medic was called in to have a look.”
Dec showed a picture of the spider on his phone to viewers, and revealed the gruesome bite mark on his neck that was left behind.
He said: “Look at that spider, it bit me on the neck.”
He explained that the spider had jumped onto his script before biting his neck, as Dec joked: “The medic said I was lucky to be alive. If I wasn’t so fit and healthy, and masculine, I might not have survived.”
Before Ant shrugged this statement off and said: “No, she didn’t, she said it was a jumping spider and it was absolutely fine.”
Meanwhile, Dean McCullough, who was voted out of the show on Sunday nights episode, revealed that the rainy conditions in camp were so bad that most of the camp mates were suffering from trench foot.
Speaking to the Mirror, Dean revealed just how horrible the recent storms were.
“Imagine the worst camping trip you’ve ever been on. You think it’s going to be gorgeous, then everything gets wet and you’re stuck there for weeks. Nothing ever dries out,” he says.
“It’s kind of a thing now in camp where if you don’t have trench foot, you’re kind of not cool. It was a real thing, and it does bring the mood down. Me and Coleen were both like: ‘when are we going to get a chance to do some sun bathing?’”

“All our crocodile tail for dinner was ruined, so they gave us tofu instead,” he says. “If that’s not a short change, I don’t know what is…from crocodile tail to tofu.
“I’m from Belfast, and I live in Manchester, the two wettest places in the UK. I will never whinge about that rain ever again. It was biblical.”
