The I’m A Celebrity camp has been left reeling after Lady Colin Campbell – Lady C to her mates – quit the jungle just hours after her supporter Chris Eubank was voted out.
And while the ITV show claimed she was forced to leave on ‘medical grounds’, Lady C's camp is saying she was 'bullied' out.
Her agent, Mike Hollingsworth, appeared on today’s This Morning to explain what happened, and said she’d suffered from a fall while she was in the jungle.
“The official statement is that she had a medical condition. She suffered a jungle fall in the camp and viewers will have seen her using a special chair to sit on,” he went on.
“It clearly got a lot worse. She is sad to be out. I think the medical condition might have been exacerbated by a certain amount of bullying she has been receiving by two particular campmates.”
The two campmates in question are claimed – by a Sun source – to be Tony Hadley and Duncan Bannatyne.
But Tony’s rep has since told heatworld that the claims are “pure fantasy”.

“Lady C says she was being mercilessly bullied by Duncan and Tony. On the show it has always come across that she was the instigator of all the rows, but she says this is completely untrue and she was actually the victim,” says the Sun source.
“She says the pair of them ganged up on her and tried their level best to force her out of the show. She also claims ITV edited the footage so none of this was seen and she was made out to be the bad guy.”

Hmm. She did brand all the campmates “tossers, absolute tossers” that time though, didn’t she. And she’s not exactly held her tongue when the celebs challenged her on not pulling her weight.
Anyway. The unnamed mole also claims Lady C threatened to call in the lawyers, which is when show bosses allowed her to “come up with” the medical grounds excuse.
The 66-year-old’s son Dima tweeted today to say his mum was “fine” after her jungle stint, which we’re glad to hear.
All this excitement means tonight’s planned elimination has been cancelled, so the celebs are safe for another night.
And ITV has said that anyone who voted in last night's public vote can apply for a refund now that the results don't count.
Catch* I’m A Celebrity* tonight at 9pm on ITV.
