Medics rush into camp as ITV I'm A Celebrity's Dec bitten by huge spider

Presenter Dec Donnelly received medical attention after a spider bit his neck while in the I'm A Celeb camp. The off-screen drama unfolded earlier this week.

Ant McPartlin shared detailof the event with fans during an Instagram Live, explaining: "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 shared an image of the spider on his phone alongside the mark it left on his neck, stating: "Look at that spider, it bit me on the neck."

He went on to say that the spider jumped on his script before biting him on the neck. Dec humorously added: "The medic said I was lucky to be alive. If I wasn't so fit and healthy, and masculine, I might not have survived."

However, Ant was quick to put things into perspective, remarking: "No, she didn't, she said it was a jumping spider and it was absolutely fine.", reports the Mirror.

The incident adds to a string of dramatic events in the camp, with Dean McCullough describing in a Mirror interview the challenging rainy conditions leading to cases of trenchfoot among the campmates. Sharing his experience exclusively, Dean said, "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,".

"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? '" he shared about the camp dynamics. He also recounted a particularly challenging night, "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."

Reflecting on his experience with the weather, he added, "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."

Dean found himself the second celebrity to be voted out, following Jane Moore's departure, with Tulisa also having left the camp since.
